    Nissan KA24E compatibility question...

    So dad bought himself an EP 240SX with KA24E. did a money shift and sent a rod through the block a couple laps later. He's having a hard time finding another one from a 240SX that hasn't succumbed to drift tax ($1000 for a 30yr old hunk of iron!), but there's a Hardbody truck 4x2 with the...

    Custom replacement gears?

    So my dad bought Joel Scweers' EP 240SX and of course at his first race he had some "user malfunctions" operating his dog box and wound up breaking a few things inside the gearbox. It's an older G-Force T5-->dog box conversion, and G-Force no longer has parts for it on the shelf. Paul didn't...

    Recommendations on a string alignment setup?

    Looks like that's the next item on my tool/toy investment list. It seems there's a number of systems out there- Smart Strings, BG Racing both have the 'hang on the car string type' systems, and a few others have some laser style ones that you place on the floor, but those increase in price...

    Fuel pumps that aren't crapola?

    When I bought the RX7, it had 3 carter external pumps on it. One fed from each side of the fuel cell to a swirl tank, then another from there to the engine. Two of the three pumps were dead when I bought the car, so I replaced them with same. That was Aug 2014. Less than 20 hours of...

    Circuit de Mayo, SW Divisional at MSRHouston..

    Saturday looked to be a pretty good day- weather was nice, 5 EP cars on grid, starting in the top 6 or 7 sports. I was on 2-weekend old tires already, just hoping they would last the weekend. Got a good start from pole and got a decent lead, then stayed there for the rest of the race. Aaron...

    Picked up a new toy this weekend..

    Picked up Mike Hart's old EP car on Sunday from a guy that was going ChumpCar racing with it. Given this history of this car, I just couldn't let that happen. Still needs an engine and tranny, but I have a line on an engine. Now just need to find a tranny for it. If anyone has a spare that...

    Opinions on Advance Design suspension?

    Am always shopping for better stuff than the cheap "japanese" coilovers on the car. This summer's plan was to buy decent suspension. Ran across a set of lightly used Advance Design shocks that fit the car. Wondering what opinions are on these vs. a set of beginner-level AST, Ohlins, Penske?

    Recommendation on Saenz dog box?

    Ran across an HR 910 and an SP 910 used. considering buying one of them for my car. don't see too many Saenz boxes in smaller cars, but I've seen several of the big boys running them in GT and such. eventually my car will probably see about 300hp. seller says these are rated to like 580tq or...
