Its not the gearboxes in the 'Vair that are weak it’s the diff. 4Spd gearboxes in 66-69 'Vairs are saginaws and easily capable of handling 400+HP. The...
In doing research a while back I ran across this site. It still comes up and is quite interesting! http://members.tripod.com/aboxer He modifies a T5 to replace...
It appears that I can not get my exhaust system plated because I used a fiberglass packed muffler, and the platers do not want to run it through their system....
No, I don't know anyone else who runs the Kit Car Challenge class regularly. I know 3 more Sevens coming next year. I believe NASA SE would support the Se7en...
in researching this a little further this morning ~ checking with Clarks Corvair Parts on line catalog there is a statement that the costs involved for the...
Thanks for sharing those. That looked like fun. I especially liked the video. Your rear seems high. What is the chassis to floor measurement? Maybe in the pic...
Thanks, I have CMC lower control arms and can make the RX-7 2nd gen pinch bolt type ball joint work. But, I was looking for a substitute that might bolt up to...
Thank you for comments. I had to compress the Sunday video a lot, but there was so much fun things happening at the track and I can only host 20 meg files....
Looks like you were having a a blast! What rate springs did you go to, and are you happy with them (or is it too early to tell)? Is your geometry (regarding...
Thanks I definetly was. The car seems to be quite sensitive for tires. With worn ones the rear is quite loose, better ones it is neutral. No other adjustments....
Gents: I'm using standard 3/16" double flared brake lines. I have a T fitting with a nice mounting bracket that is 3/16" on all three fittings. My hydraulic...
Two for Tuesday :) I have a nice 4-2-1 stainless header that works perfectly...except the outlet follows the lower chassis rail perfectly. This results in an ...
Hi Heikki: I'm using your circuit diagram as a guide! I was convinced you used some type of adaptor, though I never saw one. I've been to more NAPAs, ...
Hi Chris, I'm using a T from a Toyota and have tapped one leg to 1/8" NPT, the threads are close to start with and it looks OK but have not tried it yet. Ken ...
Thanks Jim, If I am able to convince my mechanic :) to do ride height and corner weigh on your scales there I might try them. How long and what diameter you...
Here's a pic http://www.sakermotorsport.com/images/sprintoldtimer01.jpg of the Saker RSC with the Subaru boxer 6 - 245kw/325hp & 285Nm See press release here...
Sounds like a plan, I am planning on taking my car to a few auto-x between now and then to test some things before going full speed on the track... They are...
I think the transaxles of VW and Corvairs hang the weight of the motor too far in the rear for a light car. It can probably be set up to work in a 1,200 pound...
I'd like a five speed or six speed. When adapting a front-drive to mid-engine it can difficult to find a gearbox and final drive that is well matched to the ...
Simple question (I hope): I've installed a proportioning valve in the line to my rear brakes. Wilwood/Summit/Speedway big knob style. Does screwing it in all...
Increase means more pressure is bled through valve. More to rear typically. Heikki, maniac? ... __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine...
LOL! I'd like to say I pondered it and wanted to break the squareness of the rear, but the real reason was I was probably in most hurry to get the car to track...
I mounted my fenders the same way as Heikki deliberately because I got a better fit-up that way and I liked the looks better, too. For some reason, I could not...
... Yes, but it will probably be '07 before I am ready to go wheel to wheel racing (I am also using the Se7en Challenge Touring rules as my guideline). I do...
