Skip,
Just read the engine had a melt down, would have been nice to fire it up without
a rebuild. Oh Well !!!
I think it looks cool stock, wash, wax, road legal and enjoy till it falls apart.
Which hopefully will be many years down the road...
Mike,
The bar is one that DaveD had made for our S1s. It's tall, but I did a broomstick
test on my own. I'm not that far under it.LOL....
I would say you may have the 4 wires crossed on your Prodigy. Mine took 5 min. to hook
up on my GMC Envoy, and has worked great every time. It may be the VW is fighting
back somehow.....
Hi Everybody, I have done all the prep and even had it inspected yesterday. So I
am very ready for our up coming NJMP track folly. I hope the rest are well under way also.
See everyone on the 3rd....

Just got off the phone with Croc for our monthly meeting about all things that are good in
the world. Sounds like Tom and Croc are putting the final game plan together.
Croc said their first rule will be , anyone that shows up on the 4th weekend with a V8 in
in a 7. Will start from the back of the grid and have to pull a 2ton sled .
I'm not trying to start any shit here, I'm just laying down the FACTS.....
I agree with Mike. That was the first thing that came to mind. Then the motorhead part
of me kicked in, and I wondered how much downforce was being made.
Great 7, glad to see a nice happy ending...... Because we all like a " Happy Ending".......
From what I have read over the years, the stock Zetec oil pump is cast. Castings get fatigued over time and crack. So once the crack grows it gives the oil pump shaft room to
move around and its self-destruction takes place. We have huge cast pumps at work, that are spun by 500hp electric motors. If they let loose , its at start up at a much lower rpm.
I'm trying to find where I read max rpm for a Zetec oil pump is 6400.
The pump is the Big weak link in the very well built Zetec engine...
Hope this helps... Steve
Mazda, I really don't care how many wheels it has, as long as you let me take it for a ride.
Good luck with getting it up and running as it looks like alot of fun....
Those guys at Pistonhead dig up the best Photo's. What would you say to Jimmie.
I would ask him to show me how to drive....LOL Thought I'm sure that's not what Dan Gurney is asking...
