Jean, I am not familiar with the Canadian rules but it sounds like you have a good tire rule. BTW, it basically never rains here in California during the racing season so most of us don't have rain tires. Jim, If I buy all of the parts necessary ( at retail prices) to build a FST motor it ends up be...

I have built two FST engines which both cost north of $5K I don't think there is much difference in the initial cost of a good FV engine compared to a good FST engine. I think the difference will be in the longevity and the rebuild cost, the FST engine should have a slight advantage here. To get bac...

Don't forget that FST may seem cheaper now because there are only a handfull of competitive cars in the country...if the FV community switches over to FST, that will change. When FV drivers switch to FST, their available "resources" will stay the same...if engines are cheaper, they'll put...

Just a couple of additions to Jim's comments. You can successfully run a wet sump 1600. The dry sump is not necessary. This makes the conversion from a FV to an FST much more attractive to me. Most FV's don't have room for the dry sump tank. Rack and pinion steering is not necessary either. In fact,...

I saw no difference in performance on the track is all I can say. The differences are small. Your not going to feel it on the track. However, you might be able to measure a difference on the track if you are using a data system. Additionally, in this case I don't think the flow bench results tell t...

In racing, nothing is inevitable. That's why we race.

Exactly...... See last lap, last turn of 2011 Indy 500 for further evidence to support this theory..

Also try Forward Air. I shipped a FF from Calif to Maryland for $700.00 They only go terminal to terminal but the price was good.

For sale is an almost new FV lift stand. The stand is constructed from 1.5" square tubing and works great. It should also work on other small formula cars. I don't have the battery or plug It will need to be operational. I can bring it to T-Hill next weekend or possibly meet the buyer somewhere...

Blue one Sold. Offers on the silver one? For sale are two aluminum oil filter blocks. Both are in good condition and work fine.

The latest trick is to run needle bearings in the inner and outer positions. Reduces sticktion.

New Price $25.00 Including Shipping.

New Price $45.00 including shipping.

I use a 4GB in my GoPro HD. An 8 or 16GB would be even better.

Just finished up the 5 week, on line, data analysis class that Auto Ware offers. If you have a Aim, Pi, or CDS system they now have brand specific class for you. If you have one of these systems you may have been like me and just using a small percentage of the available capacity of the analysis sof...

Laguna is a wonderful track and it is not as bad as Quinn has described it. We run our regional races on a spec tire out here so typically there isn't that much trouble with the CF group, particularity if you are new to the track I don't think you will have a problem.

New Price: $65.00 Including shipping.

Still available.

PM back at ya.

The gauges all worked when I removed them from the car last summer. $45.00 OBO I prefer Pay Pal payment and I wil...

I have also had this problem and it is particularly bad on the ball joint spring pack since it contains more leafs then the link pin spring pack. I have found that the aftermarket machining is a little on the tight side. I would suggest all of the things that Jim mentioned as good options. I always ...

John,

What spring rate did you use for the rubber droop limiter?

As the car jacks in the rear, you come up against the droop limiter and begin to loose a little rear grip. (as you are starting to unload the inside tire) A soft droop stop will cause this to happen slowly. A cement brick will cause it to happen instantly. I don't like to go from grip to no grip in...
