So as some of you have probably seen, the gears and gasoline YouTube channel bought and road tripped a 2G DSM along with an RX8. They definitely had some issues (not gonna spoil it for those that haven’t watched) but it’s a great series. Due to the fact that I’ve met Ben at gridlife events, and...

Check it out guys! I met Max from Konig at circuit legends in August, and they released the video on Friday!

I’m not the best at reading plugs. What do these say to any of you that know what they’re looking atPics are in order from Cyl 1-4 Not even going to attempt to say what I think. Would like other peoples impressions. These were freshly installed prior to Circuit Legends at Lime Rock. NGK...

If this is the wrong place to post this, please let me know and move it accordingly.I have for sale 11x14 prints of the car from GridLife circuit legends. Price is $20 plus shipping. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I can send it! All proceeds go directly to our 2024 program in Time...

I was on a podcast a couple weeks ago. It was a really good time. We discussed DSM stuff and just random racing stuff. Give a listen!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-back-seat-drivers/id1652652805?i=1000623156810

Anyone know someone on the east coast that can rebuild a Legnum VR4 auto trans? I’m assuming it’s the same as the 3KGT/Stealth transmission, but a buddies Legnum trans died and needs a rebuild. Thanks in advance.

Not sure how many on here indulge in iRacing, but I was curious if anyone had figured out a car/setup that would be similar to a 2G GSX physics wise. I’m racing at Watkins Glen the end of next month with GridLife, and a buddy is lending me his iRacing setup to practice how to get around there...

Partnered with Fortune Auto this season and was able to get on a set of 510’s. I met Devin at Fortune at the GridLife NJMP event last summer. After a series of DMs and videos back and forth, Devin heard my concerns about the current setup (KSport RRs) and was able to address them with the new...

GridLife released its updated 2023 rules packages for the different styles and classes of racing. We need to get more DSMs out to these events to showcase what these cars can do and just how capable they are. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can click on options you want to...

Are there any options available to us to use for a knock sensor instead of the potted sensor with the super long pigtail?

So the motor in my Time Attack car has been doing great. I built it in 2018, and hasn’t missed a beat the entire time.I ended my season early cause I have a lot of stuff to catch up with as far as racecar, truck, house etc. Before I start tearing the trans out for a rebuild, I wanted to check...

So, I decided to start a thread to document and discuss garage upgrades and improvements. The garage as it sits is a two and a half car. The only things that go in it are my 98 GSX Time Attack car, my trailer and all my tools, work benches and assorted supplies/material and assorted wall...

For any Road Race or Time Attack setup DSMs, July 10th and 11th Eastern Motor Racing Association (EMRA) will be at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Saturday is Thunderbolt and Sunday is Lightning. There's also a kart race Saturday night at Tempest speedway at NJMP.https://www.emraracing.org/

Selling a couple things off the racecar as I hunt for weight savings. 2G power antenna- 50 2G rear wiper motor- 35 2G inner quarter window trim pieces, gray- 30 for both Hatch harness- harness supplies power to rear defroster- 15. 2G sunroof parts- keeping the glass for now for making a carbon...

FINALLY got my wing from Nine Lives Racing a few months back. Been busy doing life things, but finally got it mounted and got to try it out at Lime Rock last month. Fit is great. Installation is easy. I backed up the top mounting positions with some angle aluminum to help spread the load. The...

I've been doing a wiring delete on my track only time trial car. Got the car fired up yesterday. Runs ok. My problem is link won't connect. At my DLC, I have 12v on pin 16, 5v on pin 1, pins 4 and 5 show good ground, and I've got good continuity through the pink data wire on pin 7 to the ECU. I...

We just bought a new house that has a very decent garage. Perfect for working on my DSM. Only problem is I live in the north east, and the garage is not climate controlled. I'm trying to research decent heaters, but wanted to see what y'all in colder climates do.

Selling my Garrett T4 6076 turbo. Going in a different direction with the car. It's a great street/strip turbo. On 15psi and a conservative tune, my car made 370 wheel HP and went 11.90's@119 mph. Asking 800 shipped for it. Was just rebuilt this prior off-season and has 4 time trial events on it.

GTA just announced it schedule for next year, and Friday August 9th is at NJMP Lightning. I'm going to try and run it. Anyone else on the east coast gonna go? It'd be great to have a nice DSM contingent there.

So I'm at work, and I have a job to do on a Mitsubishi forklift. I lift the hatch and see what looks like a G54B valvecover. As I start taking it apart, stuff starts looking really familiar! Turns out, it's a 4G63 block, with a single cam head. This thing can run on either propane or gasoline...

So, I'm racing this weekend at NJMP. There's a chance I might have to change to my spare trans at the track cause of an issue I have with 4th gear. Not a definite, but a possibility of the trans can't make it both days I'm at the track. I ordered DiaQueen gear oil, but it's not going to get to...

Man, for those of us that are I to this stuff, Porsche just obliterated the Nurburgring lap record with a 5:19.6 lap time. That's insane.Onboard video

Ok. Lowdown. 2.3 liter stroker. Road race motor. Rebuilt it over the winter with King Bearings +.001" for oil clearance. No squirters, no bshafts. Car was on the Dyno. Did fine. Was running Brad Penn break-in oil. SAE 30. Went to Pocono for an event. Changed the oil to Brad Penn 20w50. Was on...

Spun a bearing and I don't trust cut cranks. Looking for a 6 bolt 4g64 100mm crank. Let me know what you have.

I just got the car on the ground since the off-season rebuild started. During that rebuild I did an Evo3 LSD with Evo3 inner cups. Loading the car onto the trailer yesterday, and while moving it around the parking lot of the shop to get an alignment, the rearend is acting more like a spool than...

So, I'm getting tired of having to always rent a transponder from the group I run with. Not that it's expensive, it's like 40 bucks per event. But I would like to get my own. Anyone have recommendations? I would rather not get one with a subscription but I know that's how a lot of them work...

As I'm sure some of you have heard, but Etown Raceway park has met it's demise as far as drag racing is concerned. All the news I've heard and read says that the drag strip, the airport and apparently one of the MX tracks are getting torn down. All drag race staff has been let go. No events on...

So this is from my 6bolt road race engine. Ended the season with back to back wins. Motor was running strong as always. Never missed a beat. So decided that the motor should come apart after a bunch of abuse over the last few years. Everything looks good. Pistons and cylinders measure out...

What valve spring compressor are people using? I used to have a shaft mounted tool, but I guess someone at work wanted it more than me.

So, last time I was at the track in August, I put some brake rotor temp paint on to measure temps. According to the paint, the rears are running MUCH hotter than the fronts. I thought maybe a proportioning valve issue, but these valves supply pressure left and right, not front and rear. Anyone...

So, As I've been progressing in the road race/time trial world, the desire to build a purpose built, responsive, proper road race engine has grown. The engine in my car now is a built, 9.5:1 2.3 liter, .020 over stroker with +1mm valves HKS cams and a 6076 Garrett. The turbos a bit too big for a...

So, as the title suggests, this weekend at NJMP, I had a couple occurrence of boiling over my power steering fluid. Now, I do have a cooler. It's an old 1G oil cooler. Mounted in between the intercooler and radiator. I also have one of those carbon nostrils aimed right at it. Last year at this...

I had an issue at the racetrack that ended my day early and now I have half a tank of 100 octane Sunoco in my car. I don't go back to the race track till August. Should I add Stabil or just let it sit?

We went out to Pocono Raceway this weekend with EMRA, running the South East course. Got there Friday night and unloaded the car and slept in the truck with the wife and pooch. Went out for first session doing a lead follow since I had never been there before. After a couple laps, I was pointed...

Just wanted to let those know in the NYC metro area that there's a really cool sim place in Brooklyn called racing rooms. Very affordable. 25 bucks for a half hour. It's based on iRacing with full range of movement seating. I went there a couple weeks ago. I was very impressed. A lot of fun. If...

So .....I'm a bit late on this journal deal. I've had the car 16 going on 17 years. And while it has gone through numerous changes over that time, I'm really only going to focus starting from the '16 season.

For those of us in the Northeast, EMRA has released it's tentative 2017 schedule.http://emraracing.org/#./scheduleApril 8th-Lime Rock Park April 29/30th-Pocono Raceway S/E June 24/25-Summit Point August 5/6-NJMP both courses September 16/17th-Club Motorsports October 7th-Lime Rock Park...

So, On Saturday, I had my season ender at Lime Rock park. First time back there since August of last year. Had a great time as always, running with EMRA. Last year I went a 1:08. Not terrible, but not great. My first time there with the car so I had a lot to learn. This event though, I started...

I have a question about a problem I having with a friends car. In all honesty, we had been working on the car for a while, and when we fired it up we had a problem, then shortly after my friend had his first child...so needless to say the priority at this time is not the car. So I was just...

I saw the Film "Senna" last night here in NYC. I highly recommend seeing it if you get a chance. Absolutely amazing Documentary about the F1 driver from the 80's to early 90's. :thumb: Just had to get that out lol

I'm installing an aftermarket oil cooler. My question is, at what point do you do the oil thermostat. Should you install one any time you upgrade to an aftermarket one? Or do you install one if you go to a big oil cooler. I'm running a 30 row oil cooler. Should I install one? Thanks.

So I went to E-town on friday at the last minute, As I'm probably taking the car off the road in a couple weeks. Passed tech, Got to the staging lanes, Bumped up the launch control. First run out 11.95@119 with a 1.79 60'...next run 1.73 60' went 11.93@118. Not too bad for 15psi. There's more...

ok guys got a question. I'm working on a 90 eclipse, G4CS, FP green, 850's, AEM, 272's, the whole show. It's kind of a long story, but basically, the car never drove after being built 5 years ago. It ran a few times while trying to get tuned, but life got in the way as it tends to do lol. We got...

Just thought I would throw this warning out there for folks who may be doing this as per the new rules going around that you need to have extended studs to race. If you have aftermarket hubs in the front or rear, if they're not mitsu, you're gonna have a hard time. I have some aftermarket hubs...

I searched this but couldn't get a good answer. I'm looking to get some more downforce on the back of my 2gb. I bought it almost 10 years ago from a salvage yard and it never had the turbo wing. The car now has much more HP than stock, and I'm looking at doing some road racing this year. The few...

I've had a fluidamper on my car for some time now, I was just wondering what I'm supposed to use for the timing marks. There's the three dots on the front. And then there's the notch on the belt side. both of which are very difficult to see whne trying to set the timing. I just got dsmlink and I...

Really quick. Wiped out my thrust bearing a month ago, Dropped the crank out of the car, polished the crank all nice, put in new bearings (ACL). Tighten down number1 rod..ok...tighten down number four rod...and the motor locks up. Standard size bearing, As soon as I loosen the rod, it frees up...

....So here I am with my trusty 2Gb. I bought it in 2000, and am currently converting it to road race status. I have an Autopower roll cage (6 point), OMP one piece FIA approved, Simpson 5 point ands some other things. I was able to get the main bar installed. pretty straight forward. I'm having...

pics of my new tattoo. can anyone guess what it is?

O.k. I went to the track and crushed a couple of lifters, no biggie, they were old anyways. So I put the big bores in, after I bled them down as told by jackson auto, I put them in and THEY tick. I know they have to pump up and all, But i've driven them for a while now and they still make noise...
