Thanks,last pair of events this weekend for the season. The new tercel coupe ice racer is getting closer to being done,it gets shoved out of the shop when done and My E30 goes in and I'll finally install the supercharger I have for the M52 in it,add A/C and power steering bits back in as well and th...

Ftd at the last event by 1.6 seconds,fastest guys were on their way back from the scca solo nationals.One guy won a national championship and 4 others trophied so they did very well.I'll be running a prosolo this coming weekend,wife will be running the E30 as well.Should be fun. http://youtu.be/zIXF...

Thanks!

Finally got some decent video,cars working well and I finished 1st in class and 2nd overall at both sat/sun events of the regional double header events this past weekend. I actually coned away FTD at Saturdays event which I don't think I'd done before. http://youtu.be/1FgGz8mZcJM" onclick="window.op...

I overestimated the roll bars weight,only lost approx. 85lbs total but that's better than a kick in the sack with a frozen boot. I decided to save my fuel money and not make any further long distance events this yr,this will be my last yr for autox.The car will be prepped for time attack entries nex...

Turned out to be the coil pack giving up the ghost,all fixed now and I ran the car today.Went pretty good and a couple of the(really) fast guys showed up so a decent gauge,I finished up 2nd fastest overall 3/10's back of the STi swapped(mid 300's to the wheels I think)imprezza shod with 285 race tir...

Car ran like crap,I was 5 seconds off the pace(HUGE course but still) so I didn't run the 2nd day.Still trying to figure out whats going on with it,hopefully I'll have it figured out and fixed for an event on the 22nd.

Have the Miata ready for its 1st event next weekend,didn't do as much as I had planned but it did get a torsen diff swap,new bushings,new alignment accentrics,offset delrin bushings in the front upper arms,350lb rear springs ditched for 500's and the 500lb fronts swapped to 800's and front konis reb...

It'll be good to have a class with cars in it to run directly agaisn't again,been a long time with myself as the only car in class.One of the faster guys in my region has a very closely set-up Miata to this one,it'll be a good test to see if I can get close to him next season.My wife is looking forw...

Well I brought the dwarf into the shop and removed the body 3 weeks ago to find some bent tubes from contact with probably a very hard concrete wall along with kinked roll cage tubes.The kinked tubes were built that way which is disgusting....and I wouldn't get it passed thru tech like that.Decided ...

Mine is the same body as this but needs much work to look this clean.

No pics yet,might take one soon for you to show what I'll be starting with.I'm thinking I'll put off the build until next yr as I just bought a supercharger for the e30 so I'll work on it this winter and autox/track it next yr while I gather bits for the dwarf than blitz the build on it.

Thanks,didn't have it long enough to get attached to it so no big deal.I bought a dwarf car chassis,not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it just yet but it was only $500 so not a big loss if I change my mind again. I did think about tracking down my old Kevlar corolla,I'm geared up trailer/tow ri...

Drove the car again nearly 2 weeks ago,better weather and grip.Discovered once the speed was ramped up by neck couldn't handle the driving position combined with the rough ride(my neck is whacked from a couple of bad falls from roofs yrs ago).Ftd by miles but nearly puked in the helmet after making ...

As mentioned in my last post $5700. I finally drove it for the 1st time on sunday,was frickin cold and included high winds and a sideways snow storm from noon onwards.I left after 3 runs due to the extreme weather,no way to get any heat into the tires at all.Its pretty quick but SOOO much different ...
