I know that when I run straight water in my Mini Cooper for more than about 48 hours I get nice orange water back out.... some of it is probably 40 years of old corrosion going back into solution.. b
I have made a notation in my tech log such that Mr. Spohn can expect "extra attention" should he ever decide to come to an SVRA event. I saw that one coming, Joe. ;-) I always figured that if they ma
Call me an iconoclast, but for a Super 7 sized car, I can think of nothing better than a Mazda Miata engine and 5 speed. Around 140 bhp, dead reliable, passes emissions tests......what's not to like?
OK - try a GM 3.1 or 3.4 V-6 with 5 speed trans out of a Camaro etc. Narrow 60 deg. engine, no carbs to stick up, and the block is almost exactly the same length as an MGB block. And you can get as m
If anyone has a line on a V6 Ford Capri in virtually any condition, would you pass the contact info along to me? The car is going to be used as a street car, not turned into a racer. I might even con

A buddy of mine had a Ginetta G4 with 1000 cc Cosworth and regularly used that sort of rpm. Really screaming for those days, but not as amazing as the longer stroke Twincams. Of course with the 1000,
Forget it! It wouldn't be long until you'd be wanting to do mods that would preclude street use. Been there, done that. If it is a good track car, it usually makes a lousy street vehicle, and if it i
Guys, there are rules intended to keep you from doing things that will make you go faster/have an unfair advantage, and then there are rules that simply prevent you from doing things that won't make
Balls! The result is the same, it is only the time it takes to adjust the car that changes. The car will do the same lap times whether you take a half hour or 3 hours to adjust the suspension! Kinda

Fortunately, Bill, most organisations do not allow replicas like that to race, a decision I agree with. Nor would they allow you to show up with a killer brand new Ginetta G4 and blow off all the rea
I may have some of that stuff, but some vague idea of what continent you may be on would be helpful in deciding whether that information would be mutually beneficial....... Bill Vancouver BC
