Yes it is....just want to keep it simple for now. There is cost and time with that as well. Box, cable, install.... Options options options........

I need to install a small battery into a track car to make room for intercooler piping. Im thinking a motorcycle or perhaps mower battery. The mower unit pushes about 200 amps.....will this be enough to start a low compression 4 banger?? Its track only...so all I need is start. I think the Miata battery is pretty small as well???? Any other ideas??

Did you cover the panels in the hatch area? If so please post those pics as well! One day...if my dash cracks......I will copy Jackhammers lead. Its the standard to compare against! Beautiful job!

Retirement......As much I would like to be there Im in no race with age. But when I do get there my plan is to run Vintage/Historical to keep busy. As far as building my own...yup, in the plans for me as well. A Lotus replica. Perhaps use a more modern engine with a Mk9 transaxle but keep it as era like as possible...chassis, wheels...power level..etc I keep searching for a resource for FJ chassis plans. I have the FJ regulations and can base the design off that but knowing me well.....Im sure I would interpret and build something altogther different! LOL I even considered taking the LOCOST design and adjusting it accordingly to make some sort of FJ open wheel weekend lapping car. Anyone know were plans.....any plans....may be available? I REALLY want to do this!

I keep dreaming about owning one of these......http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/lotus/1247181991/1247181991ss.htm And here is is....for only $65K or best offer! Woudnt it be a great start to Vintage Racing! Need to buy another lottery ticket!

Is it truely sound logic by which we build our cars...... Spend too much money To go way too fast Faster than legaly allowed To cars that will not allow us to recoup our investment But who cares...as indivivuals we have fun doing it! Thats all I care about..........

The Innovate LC-1 has dual output for narrow and wide band. What kind of sensor did you buy?....I dont know of a stock sensor that can do this.,,,but I suppose you could accomplish with some form of elctronic trickery. Im not so good at this stuff either. I run a FC as well and it will allow you to switch between closed and open loop. I guess that is one way to bypass the O2 sensor. In Open loop mode the ECU will not take readings from the O2 sensor into consideration so your fuel economy will suffer.

Wouldnt that be fun to sit beside...NOT!

I have decided to go this route instead. http://www.rceng.com/Saturated-Injector-SL9-0550-P38C6.aspx No cutting or splicing in anything...a complete drop and go. They were extremely professional and helpful and will ship out today!

I just saw a commercial on this safer alternative.....

To make it clear I am electricaly challenged and as such require some help.....please........ I need to increase injector size on my SX and am considering switching from the stock KA24e injectors to GTR injectors. Both are top feed but with different impedence ranges. GTRs are 444cc and the KAs are 260cc. I understand that if I drop the GTR injectors in "as is" the ECU will fry....right? I have meassured the impedence of both and found the following.. Stock KA24e 14.2 Ohms Upgrade GTR 2.4 Ohms I believe a Honda resistor box will work but am unsure.....can someone please confirm. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120444810896&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT What I dont understand is how important is it that I match the impedence to the injectors. Does it need to be exact or just close? Are there any better options I should consider...... other than buy high impedence injectors. Thanx!

YUP! One of the nastiest dealer options ever!

here is an intersting S30 for sale.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240Z-1972-Datsun-240-Z-19-000-Original-Miles_W0QQitemZ250453293928QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3a502dfb68&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1171

Correct.......... I ran a K&N and was contantly wiping down oil from the inside of my hood. From first hand experience that stock baffle is not enough! If you run them hard oil will get by and make a mess. And a little bit of blng is cool! I may be interested, looks great, well thought out. Looks like it belongs there!

No comment.

Good stuff Aaron!! Congrats!!! Post a few pics when you get a chance!!

Creative in a Hybridz kind of way.......more powerful, faster and a tad dangerous if handled carelessly! ................... just gives me horrible shivers!

My thinking was similar with different justififcation. I settled on the RB20 because the 432Z had a 2 liter and was a high revving kick ass car.

I love my RB20.....it hasnt been that expensive to build and no matter what people say there are a lot of parts available. It no toss at all between the RB and L......the RB wins hands down. Saying that...spemd a few extra bucks and throw in a RB25. WTF...you decide on a ford 302? How did you go from straight six dilema to a Ford 302 decision?

One odd but good thing I noticed this wet year....Very few mosquitoes. You would think all this wet be be great for the little bastards...but not this year! Perhaps the cold stayed around too long?

Look at the bright side....I bet your lawm is lush and green! Mine sure as hell is!

Judging by the appearance of that rail I would plan to replace both of them. And dont be surprised if the floors need to be changed as well...cancer has a habit of spreading. Once you start poking around you will quickly determine the extent og the rust. Are those large wrinkles in the floor? Has the car been in an accident?

As a matter of fact I have exactly what you describe. Is that all they do.....?!?!?!

Does anyone know where I can get the male and female ECU connectors to make a patch harness. I found this outfit http://www.autosportwiring.com/Products.htm But find the prices a bit steep, so maybe I can make my own??

Very nice!
