I was given a pair of 16.50x15 dunesports. I noticed they are a taller tire than my 14.50's. Is there any reason I wouldn't want to use them on a subi/2d car? Will they cause too much traction? Pros/cons?

My good friend Justin had introduced me Erik (very stand up guy)who sold me the Funco that was all original minus the LS3 swap. After my very season I decided to take it a part and do a makeover. This is what it looked like when I took possession.

I searched and didn't find anything. Just wondering what pressures you guys run in your bags- I recently added onboard air and made some changes to where the motor and trans was mounted. Taking it out this weekend for the first time since the changes which got me thinking- what pressures do you all run and what is your set up? Also looking for input on dialing in the rebound and compression settings. I plan on giving Grant a call to get his input but just wanted to check on here as well. I have a gen 4 Funco, S4, LS3 with LSA Supercharger

I've got a Gen 3 and I have noticed that I'm getting a two to three pound drop in air pressure every couple of days in the rear bags. Bags never drop bellow 25psi. Sprayed with soap and water and didn't see anything. Front seem to be good. Time for replacement? Where do you find them? Funco only?

Okay GD.com peeps, I am looking to upgrade my Gen 4 and want the digital style controller so I can dump the air and have multiple presets for refilling. Already have compressor and tank. Which system do you recommend? Thanks

Just wondering if Funco uses an off-the-shelf radiator for the GEN 3 models or is it a custom built radiator specifically for the Sandrail.

Hey all, So tonight, I was looking at the car and it had a bit of gangsta lean to it. As I looked closer, my driver rear bag looks crooked. The bag perch doesn't look crooked to me, but something is a mis. Thoughts?

Seeking solution: Wanting to haul enough gas for Funco Gen4 LS on 16-18 ft. open aluminum trailer for a 3-4 day weekend. Would fill 25+gal Funco tank and avg. 8gal per ride 8 rides. Seeking solution like 50gal fuel cell on open trailer vs. eight 5 gallon cans which wont fit anyway. Problem is my Mercedes Sprinter RV can only handle 5000 lbs load with Funco (2700 lbs wet) so pushing tongue weight (500 capacity). And, also heard fuel cell on open trailer is not DOT legal. Thoughts please!?

I have a Gen 4 with the bosch style pump and filters currently. Over the summer I am doing an LS swap and will be going to Aeromotive pump and filters. Can anyone post up some pics of their fuel pump mounting and plumbing? Thanks in advance!

I bought a funco gen 3 about 8 years ago and have been changing a few things on it. The biggest change in the handling of the car was adding ping tanks, something had to be done about the rear end hopping, kind of spooked me a bit. They are 1/2 gallon capacity. Initially I had 3/8" lines between the rear bags and the tanks. It took some of the rear end hop out, changing to 1/2" air lines and backing out the bottom compression bypass added slow body roll but helped in the medium whoops. The ping tanks have a similar effect of adding a larger air bag. I run 42 psi in the rear at ride height, that increases dramatically during compression. When the air bag rebounds the 2.5 b…

As I have been sitting here looking and waiting. What are the different models of Funco's? Obviously they had they old school bus looking one (Gen1) then gen 2, gen 3, then Gen 4, Gen 5, Gen 6, Hustler(s), GTU, GTX, GTF, Enzo, the F9 and I am sure there are others, but what makes each of those that model. What are the differences?

Used to be able to just search here and find them but obviously that's changed. I put the car on jack stands, pulled the wheels, pulled the trailing arms, then remembered I need to be on the lookout for an enclosed over the summer. So, anybody know the width of a Gen 4 with paddles (Dunesport 14.50)? Feel free to add front tire widths and lengths as well as I'm sure the question will be asked in the future.

Happy Funco Friday. Finally get to pick up my Gen 4 tonight. Patience was seriously the virtue with this car. Super stoked for the learning permit Funco before my GTU is finished. Will be in Glamis tomorrow for test runs and get ready for Vets. Cheers to the weekend...

Veterans day is quickly approaching, scheduled for new powder coat on monday and I’m in the later stages of updating the look of my gen 3. I discovered excessive play in the trailing arm uniballs. The problem I’m having is finding a replacement for them. Pretty much all the number 12 uniballs I find have the outside diameter at 1.4375. Too small for the machined cups in my trailing arms. I’m seeing 1.497 with my calipers, I did zero it prior to measuring. Any body have any info on a replacement???

So I smoked my rear paddle last weekend and need to buy a new set. I think I currently have the 14.50 X 15 Dunesport with the #1 cut( might have been a #2 originally but tires were pretty worn when I bought the car.) I really like the way the tire works now but just curious if the #2 cut might be better now for the power I am making now. (600 HP Subaru)

The stock uniballs for the rear suspension are exposed and go away quickly if you put a lot of miles on your car. This was maybe 3 seasons. Outfront John sells a set of 8 seals that pop in there. I put a little grease in there and it appears it should work just like a wheel bearing seal. With much less movement. I believe they will last MUCH longer without getting exposed.

I have never done a build thread and since everything got wiped out I thought I would do one on our current project. I picked up this car as a spare last season and the project started almost immediately and has been ongoing. Car started out as a 4 seat Gen 4 with 934’s, S5S and a Danzio Brutus motor. In my infinite wisdom I decided to put a 4.5 liter whipple on my 11:1 stroker motor and put the boost at 14 psi on E85. I took it to Turnkey and then Funco to cram the whipple in the car. Grant told me it was a bad idea but if we are going to do it let’s do it right. So we took the back seats out and put the big tank and the gen 6 radiator in the car. He then said …

Wanting to fix 2 issues with my 2006 Gen4 so looking for ideas and pics please. 1. How to fix the steering wobble, perhaps fabricating longer tube off existing column. 2. What is used to secure the gas pedal line on metal plate (not zip ties as I have shown).
