Have a careful read of the regulations. SCCA GCR states that a fuel cell must be ‘FIA FT3 certified’, this basically means your options are ATL or Fuel Safe. However CASC regulations state the fuel cell must be manufactured to FIA FT3 regulations or better. Crucially, they do not mention ‘certified...

We carry the ATL FC-152, but it is 14" wide. You will probably have to go custom. We can get them but it will be in the $700+ range I suspect. Yep! It looks like a custom job,my floor is actually 14" (Mysterian M2)and I looked at the ATL FC-152,but it might be a bit tight kinda thing,pity...

I need a new bladder/cell,seen a few on the internet but width is a problem,Mine has to be no more than 13 1/2" wide,and a wedge shape..4 gallon,any input on suppliers please?Thought I had found the perfect one on the web,a Formula Road Race Cell CB400 for only $407:50 but its 17 1/4" wide...

What is called the leading shoe is the top one on both sides of the VW. I have often heard people refer to the leading shoe as the front shoe when the shoes are oriented vertically, sometimes incorrectly. The leading shoe will always tighten itself due to the forces pushing the shoe into the drum w...

we will have to see! I know one of the top runners over here weighs in the same as me and he is fast!!! Oh yeah and Andrew if you drive my car and you are faster your damn straight its the weight!!!! Lol 11 days until shannonville... I am pumped and feeling very confident of the upgrades we have ma...

My Girlfriend(CREW) said size does matter...

193 lbs and a Blackhole around Mosport....Hmmmmmmmmmm...about 2 days for 1 lap ..Oh No!!thats me isnt it

I would be a lot faster if i knew what I was doing off the track and on the track :mrgreen: but I love every minute of it..unfortunatly its my nerve mostly,but thats an age thing,but at least Im at the back driving and not just watching and wishing,it looks easy...but even at this level it isnt,that...

2ND can be a bitch at times,otherwise all is fine,2nd and R are close thats the problem, and at MOSPORT you only need 3rd and 4th anyway,and as we run 5 out of our 6 races at Mosport(Yawn) its fine.

What sort of adjustments are made by the expert builders to make a carb a lot better etc?how does a flow bench work?I am not asking for secrets,its just we are so limited to what we can do to carbs I find it interesting as to what is physically done to the carb etc.

Well I have ordered a shaft seal and picking it up Wednesday,then back to the speedway track.I phoned my local speedway and asked the guy could I pay and go around the track a few times testing a F1200,he gave me the gate lock code and said off you go,and I had the track to myself!!!!gotta get him a...

I dont have stock cooler

Has anyone ever experienced an oil leak from the distributor shaft due to the rubber seal?I have an oil leak and I CANNOT find where it is coming from,it seems to be the distributor area,I only get the leak when putting the engine under load around a track,running it in the garage even at high revs ...

Check the recent thread regarding cam failure in the tech tips section :) I think the overall consensus is that it's a good thing - apparently varying from "you absolutely must have zinc" to "it would definitely be a good idea". Redline or other "off road" oil is so in...

What is a good compression reading per cylinder on our engines?on average,I dont mean a freshly built top engine.

Whats the experts opinion on us using ZDDP in our engines?(Zinc)GOOD? Dont Bother? essential?

The tires bite me in the end. I should have settled for second, but that is not really the idea. I was too hot into nine in the vain hope I might catch Phil Wang, slide wide and was so slow coming out of 10 that the others passed me. But that’s the way it goes. I was a very enjoyable race, neverthe...

Guys US experience etc really shows,he caught the group of 3 up and they all had a close race,and after watching your 2009 videos Andrew you will have them worried "K" spec or not!!

What is "different" about the "K" spec tire?As I had an oil leak problem I sat out the last race and watched from corner 2...man the front guys were bloody flying!!!Well done Steve Bamford,its great watching when you know the cars and drivers etc,it was strange tho to see the tim...

Greg, The fastest time posted all last year, the first year on the Falken tires, was a 1.44.9. This year on the first weekend out, four drivers beat that time, whilst the gap back to the rest of the field was 4+ second a lap! Any thoughts where the extra speed came from and the discrepancy to the r...

That's great. I spend most Waterford Hills race weekends with our parts trailer in their paddock, and with a good view of the track I like nothing better than some good open wheel races to keep me entertained. Waterford is a really good track to race F/Vee at, so if you haven't been there in a whil...

Good luck and safe racing to the Families we have our first race too that W/End at Mosport..long range forecast is good so far Rain.rain.go away(Im old enough to remember WOODSTOCK)

What does this have to do with Brian posting a picture of his car? He doesn't have a rear diffuser, nor do any other mainstream vees.

This should be fun.

WE need to Diffuse this situation
