Who's using what?????? I fear I don't have the best setup as I keep "stuffing" the front shocks. Once more on Saturday night, I collapsed both fronts. It was an easy night, no fast belting around in the bush either. For want of better words! Needless to say I'm starting to have grave reservations about the setup. I presently running Konis in each corner with a modified 2.5 inch spring on the front struts. What advice can I glean from the experts? TIA:(

that torsen thing...

I do know of a guy here in southern california with a torsen gleason 4.11 R-200 rear end that he may want to sell, he said he would give me the first shot at it...I will see if he is interested in selling it. Also, I have had to have my Diff rebuilt in my 93 300xz NA and it has an R-200 not an R-230...so building a torsen solution for a 300zx na might be an option as well. :stupid: Ron

Well, this post could be a general 'How do I start racing?' question in general. But, more specifically, I am looking to get started racing. But, I don't have a car that I can modify. I'm really looking to be a driver for a team. How does someone go about doing this kind of thing? I could imagine some kind of school for racing and then the school places you in front of prospective sponsors. But, really... how does this work? Is this something I need to start doing on my own with the hopes of picking up a sponsor?

Only 17 cars out of 95 starters failed to make it to the OPera House. The only serious injury of the event was a broken arm for one of the Dutch competitors after a fall from the back of the bagg…

:tapemouth those of u guys with motorcycle experience will agree riding increases ur awareness about rpm, powerband,gear selection ect. in cars, bikes, lawnmowers...anything that is gas powered. so my point is from motorcycle experience i have learned exactly what to do. my suggestion is to(ride some bikes j/k) drive the car from a slow idle speed then put your foot in it ...feel the car take off. the car will go... then all of a sudden go faster (powerband) when u fell the car start not to acclerate as much as it was (proably around 6500) depending on gears 1. put your foot in the clutch (fast) 2. grab the shifter like it was an egg and put it in second 3.dump the clutch…
