Bump…..

Looking for a used long tube race header to go on a stock 1.8 engine in an autox miata. Price + shipping (to mid-Missouri) for an out of date yesterdays technology piece??? Bill @ 414-732–..773six Thanks!

Looking to purchase a rim clamp tire changer that will do cantilevers (my ancient vertical spindle machine won’t touch them). Can’t justify an expensive one as use will be very sporadic. Need a recommendation for a budget friendly machine. What do you use? Thanks for your input!

Want a set of 4. 13x8 (or 7”) for my 94 autox car. Bassett steelies are about 16# each: I’m wanting lighter. And cost effective. Maybe Shipped to central Missouri.

I have a 1.8 Miata (DP AUTOX, basically stock engine) with a concerning oil pressure issue. Cold (idle) about 60 psi, hot (180) goes to zero. Gage (mechanical) checked: ok. Have no idea what oil was in it. Experimented with straight 50w. 75 psi at idle but drops rapidly as engine warms up...

I have a 1995 BMW 318 I autocross car with some issues. Last time out, it didn’t run very well. Lap times were down & it didn’t sound quite right. Found nothing visual so started with the basics: fuel, spark & airflow were ok so on to more serious investigation. Compression test was an eye...

I have an old Hot Lap timer that I used in my slow RX2 years ago. I recall I used a push button rather than the beacon to register lap times : some laps were really slow (when I forgot to punch the button.....). These systems are out of production so there is minimal old stock available. Can't...

Picking up a car in LA Wednesday Sept 16. Will have room for small parts on way back along I40. Bill 414. 732. 773six

My 1st gen has a 15 gallon cell. It's WAY too big. I typically use less than 8 gallons with the 12A. I will eventually have a 13B in the car. How much gas would I expect to use with that (carbed)? I think a 10 gallon cell will be adequate. A 12 gallon will, i believe, just give me an opportunity...

All: Yesterday, I posted the car for sale to be parted out. See the details in for sale. Here's a crazy last minute idea: if you are coming to the Runoffs for a first time experience or from a long way away, I'd rent this thing for $2500. [Entry & track gas not included]. NO DNF's in 7 seasons...

Looking for shock dyno service. Preferably in Milwaukee area. Who do you use/recommend?

This is from my 1st gen RX7. I think it's from Mazdaspeed (no picture in the catalog). I pressed off the bad bearing - waiting for the new one. Help ID please so I can get a spare. Thanks Bill

Quite some time ago, there was a discussion about putting Miata gears in a 1st gen RX7 gearbox. Have seen similar discussion on the internet. I recall everything is a bolt in and the only modification is some machining on the input shaft. I prefer to not reinvent the wheel: can someone provide...

It's supposed to precipitate Saturday (30% chance according to the weather I look at). I don't have one of those fancy phones with a weather app: does the track have WIFI so I can watch radar on my old laptop?

My rotary exhaust has a 'box of rocks' muffler. It is always comfortably under the sound limit. Having said that, I'm looking to reduce weight of the car (it's WAY over minimum). This might be a place to get several pounds out of it. Please advise what brand & model muffler (or mufflers) you...

I just purchased a bunch of RX7 1st gen stuff (an IT car, a (rust free) gutted street roller + spares). One of the extra engines is a 13B but must be newer than 84/5 or early 2nd gen. It has individual coils, no dist hole in front plate and a factory crank trigger wheel. Exhaust ports are...
