Thread is M18x1.5 Helicoil works, there is enough material to work with. Plug has o-ring on it, but will usually not work once you open the hole for the helicoil. Use red or green loctite on the helicoil threads and let it set overnight without plug installed. Then install plug with a little...

Depends on what void the consumer needs filled. Anytime I am in Havasu, I have been able to make a few phone calls to mom and pop shops and find what I need that day. Specialty items might take a few days to arrive, but those are typically not available on most big store or small store shelves...

I agree with keeping the "Big Box" stores out of Havasu. Let the smaller, independent, local owned business' fill the void.

I didn't set the price of the car, all I did was sell them a transaxle. I have my own opinions of the pricing on this car as well, but those questions are between Brenthel and interested parties looking to purchase a new car.

Great travel shows. Great host and presenter. Shows mostly non tourist areas and the true local lifestyles, good or bad. No Reservations channel popped up on my Amazon Prime TV list the other day. Kept me up past midnight watching the old ones and kept them on all day the following Saturday.

Is "WTF" an acronym for Worth The Fun?

Ken (Brenthel sales rep) told me $300k Crate LS3 525 with Whipple, should be about 650-700 HP S5D with 11" twin clutch Motec Paddle Shifters 20 gal fuel cell up front Windshield

As mentioned, we had the new Brenthel car in the Weddle booth. I had not seen the car until we pulled in to set up Friday. I like the lines, I like the design and billet suspension components. I was not a fan of the Red with Camo wrap, and they have some fit and finish to work on to catch up to...

Nope and Nope. It is a well known builder in the racing market. Both of you will know the name.

I'll be there Friday morning through Sunday evening. Looking forward to Hawaiian orange chicken bowls and Hot Dog on a Stick.

Got the alert in Ventura, didn't feel anything but saw some hanging decor swaying a bit. Got me thinking about the alerts. I have received about 5 of these alerts in the past year. All for pretty small shakers, less than 5.0. At what point do we start to ignore these alerts? The first thing...

Will be there. Will also have a new manufacture sand car in the booth with S5D and paddle shifters.

He was definitely tip-toeing around that track. I don't think he ever got above 5000 RPM. I am told it will run up to 7500. I don't know what tires are on it. I would assume some DOT variant since it's road legal. I can't imagine trying to get all that power to the ground in that car. It has...

This was inherited from the previous owners. Mendeola did not have reverse gear engaged by the shift drum, which is what the potentiometer reads for the dash display/gear location, but rather used a separate shift lever and cable to physically move the reverse gears into place. Not the way we...

Not an Ad, just posting some cool automotive stuff. We started working with Downforce Motorsports out of South Carolina a few years back to get some transaxles in Superformance GT40 replica cars. They are running a 750 HP 351W small block in their in house car and have been working it out for...

I have always wanted to see a pre-dam picture of Havasu. That is super cool. It really shows how shallow the lake is. I am assuming there would have been some canyon features as the river ran through the Copper Canyon/Steamboat cove areas.

Keep in mind that the UTV's have to start behind the Trophy Trucks, Spec TT, Class 1, Class 10. There are usually 75-100 vehicles in front of them when they leave the line. They have been starting to regularly knock on the door for top 10 overall (time), having to fight their way through all of...

There are a few questions that need to be answered about those chunks on the trans magnet. 1. Has the driver been attempting to shift on the fly? 1a. Does the driver know and understand how dog-engagement gearboxes work? Or have any previous experience shifting them? 2. When shifting into...

Kevin Kroyer said in a podcast that they recorded a 1700 RPM drop in the driveline going through the whoops in San Felipe every time the tires unloaded then hit the next whoop. Think about that shock load going though the trans and into the back of the motor. There is a reason whey there are...

I think it's called the Monterey "Fuel Run" or something of the sorts on social media. They came through Goleta last year and took over the most expensive gas station in town down the street from the shop. That gas station charges about .50¢ more per gallon than one just down the street. Gas...
