    Q's about Stillen diffuser kit

    Diffuser The simple solution is to put the Stillen front splitter on as we..:biggrin That is what I did. I have run the car at 200 + in the Silver State Classic, and not for a short burst. I was at 165 for the better part of 90 miles. The balance was great. I have run the event with and...

    Camera With Bony's permission here is the information on the VIO system: Visual Communications, Inc. 262.246.8944 www.vis-comm.com The camera system is not easy to find on the web site. I just called them up. They were great to work with. Big Dog

    Head and neck restraint

    Head and neck The R 3 uses a pad on the seat to leave a spece for the brace that runs down the back. It requires fitting the pad on the seat and positioning the seat to account for it. It also makes it harder to switch back and forth between street and track use. I don't find it very...

    In Car Race Camera

    Camera I use a VIO system that I purchased from a fellow racer. The system is very rugged and uses a good camera. Sports Car mag. (the SCCA mag.) did a review and liked this one best including picture quality. It is easy to use and has a remote to allow easy on and off so you don't get lots of...

    Alternate Bumper Delete Concept

    Bumper I like the idea of this project, Stormcat. My thought, it seems like we are all "designers" or "critics" of most every idea posted here, is to have this look more like the Cobra "bumpers" In other words, rather than something that looks like a piece of a bumper, make it look like it was...

    Formula 1

    Lewis I believe that Lewis is an amazing driver given his results last year and this year. I am the sort that does not really "root" for one team or person over another. I like to see a great game/race regardless of who wins. I always hope the best team/person wins as they deserve to. In this...

    question about kick panel

    Diffusers I have both the Stillen front splitter and the rear diffuser on the car. I can't say for sure if they add much to the down force but the car is solid as a rock at 200+.:banana Jim

    GT Driven in Anger - 200+ mph

    question about kick panel

    Rear diffuser Remember guys, the rear diffuser (fins) are available from our friends at Stillen for alot less money and they should give more downforce.:biggrin They are flexible so they won't break the way the factory ones do. Note: You will need a big ass pop rivet gun to put it on but, other...

    Nail in tire

    Lifting Some, very thin jacks can get under the car but the lift points on the rear are very far inside. Even with the tire up, getting a jack in far enough is a problem.:thumbsdow My solution has been to life the car by backing the car up onto either ramps or stacked pieces of wood to get the...

    'Forum Wars' Ultimate Top Dog Television Series

    Competition Hey, Guys, instead of looking at all of the possible problems, look at all of the positives. What great fun regardless of what is done or how it is done.
