You should message w650gb500 he had a couple the last time I was at his shop

I don't think it will happen https://www.planetf1.com/news/caterham-to-return-shock-f1-2027-comeback-targeted-by-investment-firm

I think Shenandoah is the perfect 7 track. The twisty nature and the lack of a long straight handicap a lot of modern high performance cars. Did you manage to get airborne on the short straight to to the karessell?

That is a motorcycle radiator. The taper at the bottom is to fit inside a fairing. Something like a Suzuki GSXR1000. Graham

I just found out about 7 point harnesses, and that NHRA are mandating them in some classes by July and many classes by Jan 26. As I am about to buy new harnesses as mine expire 2025. Sound I be considering 7 points? Graham

I use Project Farm, he tests a LOT of stuff. If I want to buy any tool this is the first place I go. Very impartial review on all sorts of stuff.

Very neat, does it have an alarm feature? Allow you to make the screen flash if water temp gets above a set temperature for example. Graham

This post has nothing to do with my car. Just a link to a possible T9 source. My car runs a first gen RX7 solid axle. Graham

The Sierra was not an expensive car, your typical salesman's company car. From the basic car up to the Cosworth RS500 that won the European Turing Car Championship. I am sure the base car did not have an LSD. I think the car we built has used the stock Sierra LSD a Supra diff and currently a BMW dif. I just checked an none on the XR4TI's came with an LSD. Graham

I was not responding to a specific post, but I have seen posts in the past looking for T9 parts. I can confirm the phone number is correct (847) 688 1234. If your looking for a complete T9 trans, your going to have to sweet talk Jeff, he is a pack rat, constantly saving parts for concurs restorations. Any deal needs to be done by Saturday, that is when my friend is picking up some other parts to ferry over to Carlisle. Love the XR4TI, really a Ford Sierra, but it came with the shitty 2.3 Pinto Turbo motor. After screwing with that piece of junk we put a built 302 V8 in the car. Now it's a fun drive. Graham

I have a buddy driving over from Chicago to Carlisle PA for the Ford Nationals show June 6-8. His car is an immaculate Merkur XR4TI. Just outside Chicago is a Merkur specialist shop. My friend is already picking up some parts to drop at Carlisle. The Merkur originally came with a T9, but they often get swapped for a T5. I am sure Jeff at Merkur Parts Midwest has a few stashed away. So if you can make a deal we can get it to NJMP for the 7 event. Contact Jeff at https://blugg.tripod.com/ Graham

On a very miserly Mustang Dyno 280rwbhp. I was very surprised both the shop owner and I thought there was a mismatch in parts. Not enough compression for the head and cam combo. So we were just looking to get running as well as we can, it was running real rough after the cam swap. After the first run it was wow this is working. Graham

Just came back from the dyno shop. A new place Paradise Racing in Landover MD. Enjoyable experience a great group. Broke the shop record for a 4 cylinder motor on pump gas. I thought we were going to have to use a cherry picker to get Lou out of the car:)

I think you might be right, I have a few reservations already, but we will see.

I got a pair of the Tech-1 K V3 Gloves regular $96 for $20, only $10 shipping. https://alpinestars-shop.com/ Graham

Check with your local track/ autocross crowd, they will know if there is a friendly alignment shop in the area. When I was in Chicago it was Abe and Docs in Batavia, I grease grimy place, but there was always a few interesting cars around. The owner loved doing something different

Carl, where did you get that idea? Graham

I did a little checking, and as long as you don't need the extension to the stud, a regular bolt might work. Checkout this Ford Knock sensor bolt https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-knock-sensor-bolt-w500310s437 It also has other names Other Names:Mount Bracket Bolt, Starter Bolt, Tensioner Bolt, Water Pump Bolt, Belt Tensioner Bolt, Belt Cover Bolt, Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor Bolt, Belt Tensioner Pulley Bolt, Power Steering Pump Mounting Bolt, Bolt Hex.Head

Wow that is a crazy stud. I think the local Pick-a-Part visit might be in your future:) It probably looks something like this. (this is not a Ford Part) https://gt4-play.co.uk/shop/knock-sensor-stud-and-nut

I am close in Laurel MD, about 25 miles away. So maybe I can help. You say there is a workshop? We need to find out what's in there, just to see how close this is to a complete car. If your interested PM me with your phone number and we will work something out. Graham

It was a Prusa PLA+, nothing special. I believe using some of the newer filaments that can stand high temps it would have been OK. Graham

Throttle pulley for the 90mm throttle body. The supplied one was huge and I was only getting about 1/2 throttle. I experimented with sizes until I got just the right movement. The 3D printed one lasted well, it could the 20 min track day sessions were fine, but the 30 min session it started to deform badly. I had to turn it to a new hole between sessions. Finally I sent the file off and had a CNC machined pulley made. Graham

Do we have any idea what it sold for? I have no idea how you would value something in that condition. Graham
