To the managers of this site. Croc's post should be placed in a set aside section for a good starting point for troubleshooting engines. I'm sure there are many more that are excellent guidelines for various problems. I'm afraid it will get buried here and years from now it will be difficult to find.

Come on everyone, we are better than this. The science of climate change is done. The denial of its reality is just being contrarian to the detriment of future generations.

Looks kind of like Mike's car if my memory is correct at around 11 minutes in... I hope you will chime in on whether this is it

thank you both for the very helpful replies. Paul

Hi all Relatively recently I purchased a wcm 2sk xr7. The windshield that was included with the purchase was cracked ( as clearly described by the previous owner) and I'm currently trying to fix. The windshield.. at least for this variant is an aluminum u channel with custom automobile glass at the top and Lexan at the bottom which forms around the curves of the hood. I took this entire windshield up to a local specialty place and they said to recreate the broken glass would be quite expensive as the risk from taking the assembly apart is quite risky. If however I could do this myself the Lexan would be cheap.. all they needed was a template and to extract the glass and bring it up in as close to the original shape as possible.. . The u channel aluminum was glued with great enthusiasm to the automobile glass and that combined with the very fractured glass did not allow me to extract other than outer dimensions the frame (aluminum u channel). At our local Lowes I have found a reasonable substitute (pretty close to exact) so my last problem is recreating the shape. My question to the group is as follows, should I : a.) make a wooden plywood template which I would then have the Lexan customizer build and then mold the Lexan around this piece(i purchased a 1/4" piece already as it was cheap) b.) build a bending rig which gives me the curvature needed and run the aluminum frame through it and then place the Lexan piece within the frame? ? Finally.. should I glue the Lexan into the frame or should I rivet it? I've seen the rivet method on youtube.. and obviously first hand experience with the glue Thanks for any suggestions. Paul

Just purchased the Zamp RZ-62 after trying on a bunch of helmets this weekend at Summit Racing Equipment. I was surprised how different many of them felt so I would highly recommend finding a place where you can compare how each brand fits your noggin. I really liked the Simpson helmet looks but it was a nonstarter by the way it rubbed my forehead.

Beautiful car, congratulations!

Hi All Having a very difficult time fitting the 2 gallon Peterson dry sump oil tank into my WCM (2.2. liter Honda). Currently its in the passenger footwell but will greatly impact who can sit in the car as a passenger (i.e. less than about 5'6"). The 1.5 gallon tank may work but I'm unsure about whether this is enough capacity. Currently there is not a oil cooler so if its just a matter of cooling I do have room to fit a cooler at the front. Anyone have any advice/suggestions? Thanks Paul

He didn't seem like a bad guy, many reasons he could of sold, perhaps he did want more power, perhaps over his head. Given the lack of information the criticism seems too much.

Hi Jefferson I have the same issues with the dry sump installed on my WCM. Right now its located in the passenger seat footwell making the passenger seat almost useless. I'm 5'8" and I can't get in without me knees hitting the dash. I think your plan with the check valve is brilliant. I was concerned that the pressure head might overcome the 2psi cracking pressure but a few simple rho*g*h calculations and I've convinced myself that 2 psi should be fine. Just wanting to confirm...you didn't blow up your engine yet. :-) Additionally, did you (or anyone else) ever install a remote filter/primer like this to reduce startup wear? https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Peterson-Fluid-Systems-09-1501-Remote-Filter-Mount-Primer-Pump,350918.html?sku=91091501&utm_medium=CSEGoogle&utm_source=CSE&utm_campaign=CSEGOOGLE Thanks Paul

that is a great video, I was smiling :-)
