    Craftsman 18v cordless 1/2" impact wrench

    I'm selling my barely used cordless impact wrench. I've had it for a couple of years, but I only used it once for the track and then sold the car (00 R). This is the professional model, not the cheaper built variety. Comes with charger, battery, and case. For SVT members I'll also throw in a...

    Marauder car chase

    I don't know if this is common knowledge since I don't own a MM but in season 2 of Alias there is a cool little car chase with a clean, clean Marauder. It looked really sweet. And so did Jennifer Garner. Anyhow you MM enthusiasts might want to check it out if you haven't already... :rockon:

    Lightning in RAIN

    How well does the Lightning drive in the rain and on wet roads? How about wet gravel? Thinking of the possibility of getting BACK into a Lightning but I'm moving from So-Cal to Oregon and I know the conditions won't be the same! Thanks for any feedback ;-)

    Unfortunate Accident (Carrera GT)

    Whats up guys! Sucks being R-less but it is easier to deal with being so busy and traveling. I saw this article which was quite shocking because I know exactly where that is on the track, and have seen a horrible accident there before. Well in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, here's the link...

    The time has come

    I am very sad to do this but it is for the better - I'm only 30 so in time I will be able to get back into this. Man, I was only 26 when I bought this car. For now, my career and future comes first. This is truly my dream car, I used to have an 02 Z06, I sold it and kept the R - thinking I would...

    My 1st HPDE report

    Hey guys, I just spent the weekend at Calif. Speedway in Fontana. Wow!! What a great time! The 1st day was just overwhelming for me. I will admit, I was the slowest or second slowest guy on the track. Even a Toyota Matrix passed me (good God!), and several Coopers (I thought of Kevin :burnout...

    My new R

    No, not a Cobra R, a VW R32!! It's my grocery getter. Quite a blast to drive this little AWD car, handling and responsiveness is amazing! I wouldn't mind taking it to the track sometime if the other R couldn't make it.

    What kind of clamp?

    Hey guys, what kind of clamp can I use to seal off the brake line, so I can completely remove the front caliper? I don't want to damage the rubber line (though it seems very tough).... BTW, found a machine shop that can repair my existing caliper threads!!

    Old but Newb track Q's

    I'm planning for a nasa HPDE 1 event next month. I am more or less a complete newbie although I've had this car for several years now! Okay - I checked the thread on changing brake pads, but I am an utter idiot, so if anyone can actually take pics of the "special" tools they used, and better...

    GT heads for R

    Excuse my lack of mechanical knowledge - Does this mean the GT's heads will be an easy fit for our 00R's, but with better breathing? Does it also mean that the R heads could see significantly improved with porting/polishing? Just curious.... "The ports in the GT engine's...

    R broke the scale!!

    3630 lbs. without driver, 3790 with me. That's heavy! Chromoly cage, subframe connectors, jacking rails, T2R, and some other add-ons. Does that weight match up with what some of you other guys are getting? Distribution is approx. 57% front / 43% rear, without driver. That's pretty bad. I'm...

    00R Carbon Fiber Hoods

    Do you guys have an extra $600 sitting around?? That would be the cost for my fabricator to make a c/f hood. The price could go down if we can get more than 5 people to do this. This will be a very lightweight, approx. 10 lbs., one layer (no inner liner) hood with mounting hinges. It will have...
