I've forgotten if the top tank of the radiator is the highest point in the cooling system. I it is, you need to let the car warm up to the point that the thermostat opens and coolant is flowing thro

There seem to have been several questions (on both the roadster and 510 lists) lately about problems with brakes, cooling, and/or other major systems and fixing them by swapping in non-original part

Jeff, Let me offer a couple of ideas. If you want to create an arc to use as a guide, maybe even as a stiffener on the backside of the finder lips you could use EMT electrical tubing. Use a bender t

As far as the national Solo rules are concerned minimum weight is based on a pounds per cc formula that I think varies somewhat by class catagory like stock, street prepared, prepared, modified. For

This is gonna sound like a cop out, but (I think) there are too many variables to make other than general suggestions. For instance, for autocrossing you'd probably use more negative camber and mayb

Jon, If I understand what's happened here (that someone has altered the original suspension, or tried to shore up sagged springs) then I would suggest the only real fix is to get and install the OEM

Agreed. I guess that's what I get for generalizing too much. The problems arise most often (I'd think) because folks tend to ignore at least one, if not all, of your points. Add in other folks on th
