2nd gear around 4k RPM is my happy place...fast enough, and have the RPM at the range where the power is - so i can blip of lips when needed. I shift into 3rd periodically to give 2nd a brake. I also like wearing headphones or a headset / helmet with music when driving...i think if I didn't...

Figures it was the McMillns - getting land so close to BLM, the river, etc. is what I assumed would be difficult. I doubt it was posted on Zillow back in the day for sale, he had to somehow know the right people to call. Would be awesome if they had 1 acre lots for sale around that area.

How that guy figured out to even buy that property initially is insane, let alone build that house...he had to know someone in the state.

Maybe one of the Gasoila products...they sell the soft set at tractor supply (the blue one)

For those running the J2R or Trac stuff water neck - how did you Y together the two cylinder ports? I have my own ideas but curious how other have done it...thinking of running a T 16AN.

Clutch with my S5 - I tried to not use it after reading that same thread, but honestly, I was nervous and it was just too different...I had to think more about shifting, it didn't feel natural.

You too...good trip!

+1 - Hope to make it...I was only able to make 2 trips but was a great time - nice to meet new people and have some fun...Esco had some gnarly spicy beef jerky :).

Been a long time - but two red light tickets - in both cases I argued the duration between when the light turns yellow to red was not in spec based on posted information available on the net (I.E - IF speed limit is 45 MPH the duration time should be 3 seconds, if 25 MPH, it's 2 seconds, etc). I...

There's a few pics in this thread - but can others post pictures of their throttle cable setups? Given I'm doing a mid-engine I don't plan on flipping the intake

None of the desert racers seems to use Ron Davis anymore. CBR is my vote - back in 2001, Ron Davis

me too -but I was being nice haha

Nice looking -it would be hard to beat a KTM or a Husky though

Sold my Goldwing yesterday - guy drove from Phoenix to buy it...Just didn't enjoy riding it much anymore - and using the money to help fund the wife's buggy project. Next bike would be a dual sport I think...something lighter, offroad capable but still fun on the street Enjoying the rain...

Plan to have 15x 5's / 5.5's up front and 15x12's in the back...I like tires to look proportionate to the car size, but also functional...some cars have huge and or too small of tire and makes it look odd. For the fronts I'm thinking these - 28 tall (it's that or the 8.5's - but that might look...

I'm not sure if I agree with the slower flow being not good...I'm no expert of course - but water will cool more in the radiator if it sits in there longer...but to your point the water will then heat more if sitting in the engine longer. I'm surprised I couldn't find a YouTube video where...

Sold it for 900

if you happen to have more pics of this car showing the sears and can share I'd appreciate it. That's a clean car!

Figure I'd post an update as to where I am with the project. Sold the 002, VW Engine, and the trailer the car came with...got ~$2500 back, which is helping fund the project. Spoke to Matt at Alumicraft to get his thoughts on a mid-engine 3.5 vs keeping it a rear engine - and after speaking...
