Yes, very happy with the GAZ. The spring rates I ended up with by using Dennis Brunton's suspension calculator thingy was 550# fronts and 525# rears. The QA1 shocks are garbage, and like I said be careful on the fully extended length of the rear shocks, the QA1's were 1" too tall.
On another note, the Cusco RS rear differential was a huge improvement and now the car actually drifts on throttle exit!
Come out to an GGLC marina autox again and I will show up for sure!

I have all 4 red qa1 shocks that I don't think I'll ever need again. Did u need fronts or rears? Pm me and I'll dig them out for u.

I would just give Dennis Brunton a call, he helped me out majorly. The rear shocks installed on my car were too long and didn't use the proper portion of the usable shock stoke because of it being too long. Hopefully you didn't buy any suspension yet, GAZ are pretty nice single adjustable. Really had fun for the first time at autox in my ultralight last saturday with GGLC at marina. wish you and raul where there

Home depot will not carry the thread pitchs you need. Auto parts stores carry lugs and they are not found in most hardware stores, unless u go to a fastenal.

How is the connection? Hub bolts or quick release?

what fuel filter do you guys use?

While replacing the heim joints on my ultralite I came across the two upper control arms (both front wheels) that are using 5/8" bore holes on the heim joints but that have 1/2" bolts. See pictures below. That means there is "slop" unless the heim ball is pinched within the bracket, and even then that is a scary thought that the alignment could move so drastically if say you hit a bump/pot hole. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa105/joshsalvage/IMG_0929_zpsdaada330.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa105/joshsalvage/IMG_0930_zps08926f7c.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa105/joshsalvage/IMG_0931_zps2eb8e80e.jpg My question to you other Ultralite owners, especially the ones who have now replaced all of the heim joints... did you notice the same issue? (or is mine just extra special?)

So besides the GoPro HD2 - and the Drift cam - what were the best camera's for audio capture? I'm looking at getting a Replay XD, GoPro, JVC or other action cam soon.

help: WCM s2k spot caliper parking brake install
joshesh replied to wcmgoldie's topic in General Tech
Funny thing, I just removed my ebrake off my ultralite a couple days ago, mostly because even with the brake handle pulled all the way tight, the car still moves without much resistance. It looks like you are on the right track. -
That's not a good interference to have. Definitely fix that before driving fast. I'll take a few pics of my front end on my wmc ultralite. Strange how uneven they are.

I found this place out of California that sells this type of foam for a more reasonable price. http://www.eti-fuelcel.com/Bafflefoam.html

Man, too bad I was in Nebraska for nationals or you might have seen me out there with your old wheels and Avon slicks. I need to fix the brake bias issues on my chassis as well.

Best Northern CA DMV Location for Registering a 7
joshesh replied to sdaddy's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I'd make a trip down to the Los Gatos branch, they are very familiar with sb100 and SPCNS -
What number did you recieve for SPCNS?
-
You can borrow my 255s for the rear on the next track day. I think my car has 225 fr 255 rear
-
Jeff, any details on that windshield? Did you make it or have it made? I am interested in doing something like that, not really a big fan of the batmobile single windscreen pods. GLWS

Reg acquired... New level of happiness reached as well!
-
Look at Avon, they make tired in various 13" diameter and softness compounds.
-
Is that the hyabusa turbo powered one? Oh wait, prob not since he is in EM.
-
Today I was told by the state ref that California has a new new policy for double checking all the paperwork before issuing me a certificate. So now I guess two trips to the ref is required
-
If I had to do it again I would start at DMV and ask for a vin verification form and schedule with the CHP (call today for this) and ask for a vin verification inspection. Trailer your vehicle to the CHp office. Then go back to DMV and ask for a SPCNS number to be issued from Sacramento. Then wait for about one week for the official certificate to come in the mail. Make appointment with the state ref for inspection upon receiving the certificate. Trailer car to inspection and then return to DMV to submit all paperwork and get the plates and stickers.

Jim, I really liked the new slicks, nothing like having 11" wide tires coming from the NT01 "street tire" that it came with. My car has 225 front and 255 rear, so you may have a slightly harder time getting heat into them. Here is a video from Saturday with the new tires: The toe idea will help some.
-
I'm guessing not enough camber in the rear for the nt01
-
Finally, finally I have secured my SPCNS number! I am 204 out of 500 for the year 2012! Now just a state ref inspection and I'm legal.

Thank you for all of your replies and help, I finally found an intelligent soul at the DMV office today (after I had the CHP do a VIN verification) and now I am in line for a SPCNS number... only catch was the lady could not get the Sacramento office on the phone cause they were out to lunch... so back one more time tomorrow to get the SPCNS number issued then I'm making my State Ref appointment and getting this baby legal!!! I cant wait to be through this process... at least after its over it is smooth sailing from then on.
