I forgot to post the temp and oil pressure specs:
On the run at 65 mph, the #3 cyl head temp ran around 325 and the oil temp was running right around 190. When I goosed it up to 75, the cyl head temp ran up to about 360 and then fell back to 350. For the last 20 minutes of the run driving between 60 and 65, the #3 cyl temp ran right at 325-340 a… -

Hey folks.
I just got back from a 50 mile run in my BCW. WOW. This car is WAY fast and a little scary. I still have to get used to the steering, handling and the burst of speed in ANY gear. The car has a temp sensor under #3 plug as well as a temp and oil pressure gauges. On the high speed run on the 4-lane, the speed limit was 70, and I hit… -

I have not mounted it yet.
I took the rubber donut bits from the soob. I plan to make an L-frame from some sheet metal for the bottom mount and bolt it from the front. The isolators will sit on that.On top there are two bolts holding the fiberglass side panels to the grill shell. Another L bracket there facing down should reach the top bungs.… -

Hell no.
Lane Anderson in the Speedster group has been my guide to the joys of hydraulic clutch conversions. This cable job will have to get a lot hairier before that set of troubles starts to look appealing. -

Ed, have you considered a hydraulic clutch pedal? That might most easily solve your Bowden tube issues…

So The sensor seller asked for pics of the part and a description, and when I sent that he sent me another sensor–this one with three wires. Appears the missing wire on the original one was a defect. The new one just came and tested good.
Meanwhile, Shiels sent back my wiring harness with instructions. That looks righteous as well. So today I’m… -

My PA EZ Pass works pretty much up and down the east coast. I’ve traveled from Maine to S. Carolina without stopping to pay tolls. I Love it. BUT…My first year at Carlisle, the system apparently didn’t catch it and I received several tickets in the mail for unpaid turnpike tolls. All of these included a photo of me going through the toll gate.…[Read more]
