I am also told this goes for cars imported for race only purposes.

Not sure how they can enforce this for racing purposes. Why block cars that have no intention of being registered?

But yes it's a shit situation for hot rodders and street machiners.

Nice layout on that second spread. Looks like someone is a fan.

Give us the skinny Scotty, you told me you "embedded" the push-rods in them?...so, the solids are too unforgiving?.......do tell, in long hand too..... ta. For solids you'll need adjustable rockers, but yeah I embedded pushrods in two rockers. They'd be fine for a time, then the rockers w...

You'll need different rockers if you're going for solid lifters. Personally I had no luck with those rockers, I stuffed two before going back to the standard rocker gear, which as the time didn't hurt my performance at all.

I think that now we have the GPS track we could take on some of these novelty racers as long as they can clear the course in a quick manner. If they can only do a relatively low speed they could turn off after a mile and let the faster stuff through. I don't agree with letting them use the long cou...

WOW I'm struggling to keep up. Back up, Back up a bit ! "OIL ACCUMULATOR " Interesting yet absurd sounding contraption ! Could it be like something similar to the "Golden Infinite Probability Generator" that project100 enlightened us about on a different thread in a distant gala...

Then how did that go kart get a run in 2009?

If the oil pressure starts goign away in the top end an oil accumulator might be a good investment too.
