    Carbon Fiber...Driveshaft?

    I have one on my car. (Precision shaft technologies.) One of the benefits (other than being lighter and stronger) is that it is safer. If a regular driveshaft breaks, it can rip through the underside of your car, or "polevault" off the street. A carbon fiber shaft, if it breaks, will...

    How fast have you had your Snake ??

    So... Which one of you is selling this gem??

    I think the snake skin paint is cool.

    Where was the Viper??

    I read the article, and was glad that the Viper wasn't tested. The Miata came in ahead of the ZR1. The editors are pussies.

    All Motor - Stage 1 & 2 Plans

    What is your goal? Do you track the car? Are you looking to drag race the car? I have a rather extensive all-motor build on my car. What you do really should depend on what your vision is for the car.

    Need Headers. Help me decide

    Here is the link to the hypercoat extreme page: High Performance Coatings, Inc. Call them. This is not a spray paint, the parts have to be dipped at their shop. You ship the headers to them, they coat them, and send them back. Takes about a week. The coating is available in black or...

    Just a few horsepower ?'s

    Paxton. The other mods you mention (exhaust etc.) will not provide enough of a difference in power for you to even feel it.

    Need Headers. Help me decide

    A couple of things about headers: Not long after header install, you will notice that your gear shift suddenly becomes VERY hard to get into reverse, and overall gear shifting is difficult. This is because your wiring on the O2 sensor has gotten too close to the headers, the insulation...

    Stock spring rating??????

    Another important piece of the equation is how linear the rates are. My experience with the stock springs is that the spring rates rise dramatically as the springs are compressed. On a rough road, this can lead to a feel of "bottoming out" on bumps and a very bouncy ride. I have springs with...

    Miller Motorsports Park SCCA Event Aug 22-23

    It was a lot of fun. The outer course is really a good one for a Viper, and hauling down the front straight was a real rush. My best lap times of the day was when I was chasing a Porsche GT3. It was good to follow him, as I was able to match his line, and also got a feel for how fast I...

    Crank Case Vent Issue

    Yes, it's an Exotic Engine breather package (and an EE engine build.) I sent Kevin an e-mail last night. Hopefully, I will hear from him before long.

    Crank Case Vent Issue

    I have a crank case vent system on my car. A hose from each of the valve covers leads to a catch can with an air filter on top. (Pictures below.) The good news is that I find very little oil in the catch can. The bad news is that when I'm running the car hard (like today at the track) oil...

    This is embarassing...but

    How do you do a controlled burn out? (Serious question) I've never done a burn-out on purpose, and whenever I do spin the tires, I get launched forward at the end. Seems like I would just go flying past the starting lights.

    Air bag light

    I'm pretty sure that the conditions include not having modified/replaced just about everything on your car other than the frame. (which means I probablly wouldn't qualify)

    Air bag light

    I don't think my car is still under warranty.

    How come no racing SRT's?

    Probably the guys that have them are having too much fun with them to want to sell them.

    Air bag light

    I hit a bump and the light came on. The scan tool (which the dealer charged me $100 to use) said it was a ground fault in the passenger side seat sensor (that tells the computer whether there is someone sitting in the passenger seat.) I still haven't got around to getting it fixed. The dealer...

    Track Tires and Wheels

    Mark Williams makes some Viper half shafts. They are pretty much bullet proof. Mark Williams Enterprises- Homepage I too have beefed up the drive line of my car, with a carbon fiber drive shaft, Quaiffe diff, upgraded transmission, and Mark Williams half shafts. The weak link for me now is...

    Track Tires and Wheels

    They are definitely stickier than the V700's or PS Cups, which are the only comparable tires I've used. After 1 track day (five 20-minute sessions), they are holding up well, and don't look abused. (actually, they don't look too bad at all.) The wear so far is very good compared with what I'm...

    Track Tires and Wheels

    I ran on 18 inch SSR wheels and Kumho V710's today. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the V710's (kept me sticking to the track when I thought I should be sliding,) and the SSR wheels shave a lot of weight off of the car.

    Miller Motorsports Park

    We ran the East track. It was a lot of fun. My first time at MMP ever, and my first time at any track in over a year. What an amazing playground for cars. I did the newbie orientation in the morning, and got in 5 sessions. I broke something in my brake system on the fifth and last...
