Re: Electric Fans

How many CFM does the stock fan move at low rpm/idle? Pictures would be good. Do you run rear bodywork? I never had a problem with just spraying the heads, but I want to make things easier. Keep the car from over heating if I get stuck in line before start on a hot day. And I, like you have serious ...

Electric Fans

Do you spray the heads with water to cool? The only thing I have ever done is spray the heads with a 50/50 water/washer fluid mix(for the alcohol content). Do any of you guys use fans to help cool the heads down? How effective are they? Do you use them with the car running or after you shut down in ...

Re: A few questions

I know the FF are still faster than a vee, the reason I want to hold on anything major is to see how everything comes together, whether any rules changes happen after a year or two in CM. As far as everything goes at the moment, I am more concerned with getting the car back out there. What would be ...

Re: A few questions

Did you spin the inside tire before the hp increase? The last I remember the car weighed with drums and steel wheels about 1025. If I actually lose 40 lbs with the brake swap and maybe 15 lbs in wheels I will need a good bit of ballast. I don't plan to go crazy this winter and rebuild the car I want...

Re: A few questions

Is there a particular dune buggy kit that is better than the others? What pads are best(or what kit actually offer the ability to buy performance pads) or is it like the shoes where the stockers work best. Iv'e read the limited slip isn't really worth it and in my experience the car drives great wit...

Re: A few questions

Solo I am curious to whether the rules changes are worth spending a bunch of money. I assume the 1915 is a worth while investment. I know the limited slip isn't worth the money/effort. I don't expect the ball joint beam to be particularly useful. But I don't know anything with certainty. I am lookin...

A few questions

I am seriously considering dusting the cob webs off of the 72' Lynx. I stopped racing it 3 or 4 years ago after I built a CRX. Anyways I have questions about the rules changes since I quit racing, 1915, discs, ball joints, rack, so on... What changes are useful(most useful). What are some good parts...

1963 Sardini Z-bar

I have a 63' Sardini with a terrible z-bar set up. Does anyone know where I can get mounts and controls links. Thanks for any input
