Hi Kent, Can you point me to an English version of the seat and belting spec's. I looked at the FIA site and found the French versions of the spec's while in...
i have this griffin radiator with the built-in stacked plater oil cooler, [not a trans cooler]. had it for four years , [used it for two], and only run...
That's what I've done in the case of my aluminum seat. The brace allows no movement front to rear but does allow flex side to side. However I don't like the...
I can send you the English only part of the downloadable Word file which shows the correct belt positions and the alignments used on the acceleration sled, but...
The lastest version of Water Wetter has the lube already in the mix. Prior to that I used 1 bottle of Prestone water pump lube in the pure water mix. Currently...
Kent- Would you please send me a copy of the long version to my work address? Thanks. Scott...

I understand the debate between a seat that flexes to absorb forces, but then there is the whip effect, not to mention that belts slack and hit a second time,...
Ugh, this is so frustrating. Did my research last year and felt totally assured that unless you could afford a big bucks customized CF seat, that aluminum was...
Thanks Guys ! Martin D ... switched to SSR wheels. Only rubbing with race suspension was at full lock on the plastic fender liners in the front. On the track ...

I use a 6 point in my car and also purchased a D-Cel H&N restraint system. The D-Cel, like the Hutchens was designed by Trevor Ashline who is associated with...
Did you have a problem overheating before adding the Evans? Did you leave your thermostat in? What pressure radiator cap are you using? Thanks, Shawn ... ...
I wasn't overheating. I run the stock radiator cap (16lb) although they say you can run a no or low pressure system. The car has no thermostat and it self...
Hey guys, Is there any place where people have talked about what pads they are happy with for roadracing? I just got the 12" brakes with PBR calipers from...
A thermostat or restricter plate is necessary to allow the coolant to do its job, without it the coolant passes to fast through the block. When this happens...
... sounds like you got the baer racing A-sedan brake package, which gets you 12" front and 12" rear brakes. too much rear bias is a common problem with this...
... good point. i'm not worried about vision, because the head restraints are open. however, i'm not sure that seat is going to fit in my dinky little miata,...
The Evans folks recommend no thermostat for Motorsports use. The reason is to limit the heat buildup in the heads. With a thermostat or restrictor plate the...
My head swap project is now complete, the car runs and drives just fine, no leaks, idle problems, or weirdness. I've got it idling at ~900rpm, the ecam doesn't...
Do you use it for street, track or both? Does it get warm enough to use the heater during the winter? You mentioned 20 deg cooler. What was the temperature?...
Shawn, Its a track only car. I don't see any downside to using it on an street/track car excepts its cost. I suspect you will need a thermostat in winter...
Thats pretty interesting it goes against conventional thinking about cooling. Even Nascar engines use a restrictor in place of a stat to restrict the cooling...
I read an article on this cooling system and from what I remember, they use a low pressure, low flow system. Since it doesn't flow as much, I would think that...
Hey guys, I always thought to calculate backspacing from offset you would take wheel width divided in half them add the offset to get backspacing. I was...
Thanks, Richard. I forwarded this on to some people in my local SCCA Region. Unfortunately, I bought when the price was at almost $200. Glad I have one,...
