The rear brake disc setup is NOT a problem. Although it has NO performance advantage. The calipers are any VW/Ghia caliper. (Chinese or otherwise.) We have had NO problems with the Chinese or Brazilian calipers. The bracket is a simple 2 bolt item. The only issue we have seen with these is that if a...

Sounds good. I think your weight proposal is in the ball park. After cutting off the shock towers and adding discs, the delta will be close to your plan...

CIP has them. I have no idea of the quality level. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but I don't see any stock beams. The beams are all different dimensions than stock. Stock spindles do seem to be available at this time. Assuming they are stock, I would guess the quality is at least as good a...

New? Where is that ?

Cases, easy to solve by changing min weight rule. New cases have not accepted the 1200 cyl for a long time as I understand it, requiring a spacer. Been that way for years on all cases. Spacers are no problem. As far as I can tell, every front end part is available with the exception of the beam its...

A side thought on the restrictor plate concept: While it can work for a situation such as NASCAR where there is a "restrictor plate god" who hands them out, and collects them afterwards, with all racing on the same track on a given day, I have always considered it as the perfect tool for ...

Stan, I respect your bravery.. :lol: As you mentioned, we have done lots of testing with restrictor plates. Your suggestion of just decreasing the restrictor plate will not make the cars competitive. This is a problem with any two engines of different displacements (and a few other issues.) With the...

You are missing the point. (no pun intended). The FST group does a 12 race series which ARE for points. The BD party was not one of them.

I also believe there were either 5 or 6 FSTs. That tell ya anything? Mike P. Mike, Not really. We have a independent FST/FFDA series championship. The BD party was not a points race for FST, so not many of the guys wanted to attend. Since there is a separate 12 race series for them. A Shame though ...

Why would FV a class that is everywhere in the country want to down size to a class that has limited representation in most of the country? It is not logical. Good point. And that is why there are few FST's in other parts of the country. But NOT the case in this area. So if you want to run on the w...

I have sent my input to Stevan, but so it is all out there : I suggested a single jump from FV to the complete FST package. It takes the cars to a package that is inexpensive, tested for 10 years, with parts available from multiple suppliers, and a dozen engine builders. Any partial conversion will ...

"casting flaw" ? You mean at the pressure line boss? Are you using banjo or straight threaded fittings? If banjos, are you using aluminum or copper crush washers between the banjo bolt and banjo, etc ? Unless it is a actual crack in the casting, it would seem this would be fixed by any of ...

I think FV and FST need to work together to attrack more racers. Battling on the forums does nothing but disscurage newbies when they read this crap. As it is now FST takes from FV and FV stops the growth of FST this was pointed out to me 2 nights ago.. Mark, There really hasn't been much taking of...

A simple Super Trapp will drop it several db, and you can tune it for more or less. HP loss is not significant.

Right now with SR closing its doors LRE already closed parts becoming hard to find not sure where FV will end up.. Got your point Ray, and it is valid. But.. We (SR) aren't closing the doors on FV. We will continue to sell parts until someone buys our inventory and continues on with the FV / FST pa...

I agree with Stevan. There is no real advantage to a full flow system on a Vee. The bypass valve only comes into play when pressures exceed 50+ lbs, and that is GOOD. Adjusting the spring (increasing tension) only increases the PEAK observed oil pressure (when cold). It will not affect normal at tem...

Jeremy, Do a web search with the following and you will get several pics of non-full flow, verses full flow systems. I think once you see them it will all make sense : vw full flow oil system diagram

Ed and Steve are correct and there are many ways to convert to a full flow system.

There is no reason a FV tire should cost any more than another tire to make unless there is a technical reason. REF: Econ101: Price is dictated by supply and demand. (What the market will bear.) It has little to do with any direct costs. If sales and margins aren't sufficient, they just pull out. T...

Hoosier is a relatively small company, thus somewhat flexible. But does anyone really think they are willing to make a Radial for FV that will last a season? Thus, selling a couple hundred tires a year? (if that.) We are lucky they continue to sell the existing tires at quantities in the low thousan...

Goodyear stopped last year.

Thanks Ed. We are going to continue the FV/FST parts sales indefinitely. There are a few items that we make (oil manifold blocks, offset camber bushings, etc.) that MIGHT come to an end. However, I am toying with the idea of keeping my CNC Mill and Lathe and moving them to a large outbuilding I have...

God this is getting old.... (not unlike the Vee) Sorry, but lowering the cost to build, race or repair a Vee will not attract any new drivers. It MAY keep a few old drivers and MAY put them out on the track a bit more often if $ is the issue. Guys, MOST of us are 50+ years old. No kid with the money...

I don't want to keep bumping this thread, but I am adding additional stuff to the items being sold. (On the original post.)

So keep checking it for those interested.

SR Racing owner is retiring near or at the end of this Race Season.. I am old and have retired twice. Everything will go and it's all paid for. Not ready to go yet, but here is some things you can think about if interested. I will part out or sell as a lot. PLEASE before making stolen offers, look a...
