We brought a gun to a knife fight! Back of pack to first every race until we broke in the last race.Ice racing, limited stud ( 9 bolts per foot of tire)

I am building a 2005 mustang for the track and came across something for a mustang that in theory will work on any car. I also race a porsche and some of the cars have a brake cooling deflector plate on the control arm that I have seen.Now after talking to people , there are a few...

I can order a switch that will trigger the oil pump to turn on at a certain temp, The range I can pick from is 140F-210F. I will be putting a bung on the side of the case for this switch. This is for a track car, quiafe LSD install, 1g transmission. Will only see track use. What temp would I...

First ice race season trying the talons in limited stud. Limited stud is 9 bolts ( 12mm) per 1 foot of tire. We used to race in the Chevette class. Not as much grip as I thought they would have. Mechanical issues cut the season very short, and we need to adapt to the different grip and weight...

I know something about lubricants :) however I am a bit stumped on this one. I reached out to AMSOIL tech and to Quaife tech and to the vendor who sole me the LSD.car is a 1g AWDWe all know that we use a gl-4 75-90 gear oil, at least that's the factory spec. You can buy some gl-5 oils that...

Hi, its time for me to improve my lowered track car. Restoring suspension angles closer to stock is what I need to do but I want to keep the car at its current lowered ride height. ( bumpsteer )I have seen the posts on the aftermarket ball joint mods. I can also cut up and fab the control...

Thought I would post a video I made about our 9 hour endurance race.Here is the 3 minute video.I built my car to chumpcar\champcar rules. We will be moving from those rules and making it faster as my local racing isn't enforcing the champcar limitations.1g AWD, hotbits coil overs ( sprung...

Hi. Im going to be ordering a wire harness connector kit from Magnus to rebuild the harness as its in really bas shape at the connectors. My car has been heavily butchered.....It started as a 1ga and a few motor swaps later and cut up harness In not sure now.I believe that the CAS is...

My 1g has no signal on the odb port but throws a check engine light after running a few minutes. Dies anyone know if I can take a signal right off the ecu or another way to get the code? Track car and wire harness is mostly removed and cut up but the odb port worked last year. I might start by...

Im a electrical newb.Car is a track car, ignition switch is gone and I have a push button start. Car was working fine, I now have a no crank issue. I replaced the starter without fixing the issue. It does appear that the signal wire on the solenoid does not energize when I try to start the...

Hi all. I am green when it comes to this stuff. 90 Eclipse GSX stock but built for the chumpcar race series. Blew the turbo last year and had another rebuilt. Now the aftermarket guage shows 7psi. I ran 17.5 in the quarter mile today with a soft launch and not pushing redline. This is a road...

So my car is almost ready for some track testing. Ride height from the new coil overs needs to be set before I start to corner balance. 650F 500R springs, 255 Dunlop Star Specs ( 180 treadwear ) tires on 17*9 et 27. I have to roll the rear quarters this weekend as they will contact the fender...

Hi. I have been digging and finding some info on springs rates that people who track their cars runs. I still have not decided on what I am going to do. My car is a 91 awd built for the chump car series. The rules changed a bit and I can upgrade my shocks\struts from stock but still cant go...

I have engines and wire harness from pop up headlight Talons, one pop up headlight eclipse and now a 92/93 laser. I pulled the motor from the rolled rally car 1ga and dropped it into the Laser ( 1gb ) . The plugs for the coil, cam position and things are not compatible. We swapped motors...

I'm racing a 1g in chump car. Engine is stock but some boost creep happening (15 psi max stock tune).I have installed a fuel cell and now I need a inline pump and fittings. I have a spare 255 pump but I dont know if I should buy a 190 instead. Fuel pressure regulator will get me a penalty...

Neither of my sets of 17 wheels fit, but I was expecting that as both have the wheel spokes hit the caliper.Does anyone have these brakes on a 1g? Apparently if you get the second gen of the calipers they sit out too far and the pad doesnt completely sit on the rotor. I dont have pads to...

I have a 1g AWD car that I race in the chump car series. I have the camber bolts and maxed them out. I welded in heim joints for the active toe issue and put on a bigger rear sway bar to help with the push. I had ran 205 wide tires and Im going to buy wider rims and run something like a 245...

I'm not bragging, the list is excesive though, most of these I picked up for a few hundred so keep that in mind that is mostly worthless :)WAY WAY too deep ito the DSM's now, mostly because I keep buying wrecks.Picked up a 93 ESI FWD today, pretty much dead but it has fiberglass...

Parting a 93 NA FWD ESI. Im sure the US guys would be interested in the belts and pillar plastic to convert the seat belts.Sorry the fenders\hood\headlights\tail lights are gone as is the rear wing stuff.interior sold from91 --Have a 91 leather interior no rips that I can sell, black...

I wont be building this just yet, but I am aquiring the parts and hopefully it sees a race in the 2014 ice race season.I ice race a Chevette in a Chevette class. I also enter the car into a class called rubber to ice. The Chevette doesnt have enough power for that class, I have a spare...

I do ice and road race and I heard of how much fun some of the local racers ( road racing ) guys where having going to chump car events and lemons events. Those events are BUDGET racing, the premis is something like a $500 car, no more. 4 drivers , 24 hour endurance racing. Lots of fun and low...

I built a 91 AWD for chump car racing, gutted it ( hood, doors, dash, ps delete ) put in a cage and a race seat, no hatch and was surprised that with me ( 190 lb ) its still 2918 lb. So thats a baseline for me to figure out how to reduce more weight. Picture is the Chump Car, not the one Im...

From what I can tell the stock rims on my 91 cars are 6 inches wide, I know the tires are 205/55/16. Im buying new rubber for a chump car race. The Aziens 615 tires come in a 205/45-16 but that tire says a 7-8 wide rim. Those tires come in a 225/55-16 and those fit a 6-8 wide rim. Im concerned...

Im a total newb, since I just picked up some of these cars I have not climbed under them yet, that start soon. Im sitting in my office and I cant figure something out. Motor goes to tranny, tranny goes to transfer case and transfer case goes to diffs that powers the 4 wheels in my truck. Are...

Im prepping a 91 eclipse awd turbo for a chump car race ( salvage title but it runs ok) . I also picked up a 91 talon awd ( with automatic trans ) super cheap and it sat in a field for a few years. I do not know the spline counts yet until I take things apart. So with the parts car I have a...
