  1. Hummer H2?? LOL... The most overratted POS on wheels. Have fun replacing tie rods when you turn the wheels All while getting 9mpg and 0-60 in 1 1/2 hrs. I'm not into Euro sport cars or exotics but i'd love to have a tricked out S2000 and a Viper (previous generation, the new ones are ugly). For offroading... Cummins powered single cab Power Wagon or an 05 TJ Rubicon Unlimited. Solid axles>Independent Front Suspension x1000
  2. I saw these for sale somewhere. Says they give you more torque. I guess they just bolt in before the reed valve plate after the carbs? They arent that expensive so i was just wondering if anyone had them and if they were something that made a difference. Thanks
  3. We race flat track primarily other than around the yard. I've been reading that the cool heads are a good simple mod to have. They are sort of expensive at $200+. One of my friends said it isnt really worthwile and not to believe everything i hear. This is on a 94 motor with full FMF pipes and decent carbs. On the flat track we race at you need more pulling power (where the 4strokes beat us) because its paper clip shaped 1/7th mile. So is it worth it? What dome size do i need? Thanks

    Headlight

    My brother broke his headlight and needs the plastic cover that goes around the light and holds it up... I dont know what it would be called... Anyone that has one please leave a message in the topic... Thanks!
  5. I too am looking for a lowering kit or 300ex shocks and a sway bar for flat track racing this spring....
  6. Well we race at Borgers in PA here. Its a 7th mi thats basically flat. I watched very closely for awhile and it looks like alot of guys have trouble carrying the left rear in the corner and they are leaning so far over for weight transfer. I've started correcting the problem on ours so he didnt have to lean so far. Having a smaller left rear would definetely help here though. I strap the left front so it tilts into the corner but he carries it in the air from 3/4 turn off which makes the weight all go to the right front and he slides the back end since it pivots to hard (hurting his launch off the corner). So essentially i want to get a rear shock/spring that is soft enough to completely collapse when he gets traction off the corner (so it wants to lift the front end) and get a left front shock that is very low but doesnt have alot of travel. Are gears tough to change? I know the karts use the split style but i didnt take notice to see if ours are like that. The reason i ask about the tach is so i can tell if the engine is overrevving or underrevving at the end of the straightaway. We only really run this track so i want to have one solid gear setup to build the setup off of. And i'd really like to have him be able to shift going into the corner so he has the power off of the corner the 2 smokes seem to lack. He probably could shift but the handle is so far up that he'd never stretch his hand during the thick of the race to grab it. Plus the cable needs alot of travel to disengage the clutch (any tips for shorter travel?) I know alot about how to set up a 4 wheeled vehicle on dirt. For some reason i just understand how everything works in harmony. And when i went the first night and saw all the kids almost flipping over because they had big wide rears and all the same pressures in the tires i saw a huge opportunity. Thanks for the help..
  7. We've started running the local flat track here and have done pretty well. I'm taking the role of "crew chief" for my brother. What i'm looking for is things that make the quad handle better and i just have a few of a million questions for the future. Can the rear end gear be changed quickly? Is there a tach available? What is redline on a shee? Is there a better clutch system so you can shift mid-corner and not have to reach so far? How do you read flat track dirt tires exactly? I'm looking to eventually run 4 different sizes to get the right stagger. We've strapped the suspension and built some adjustablility there but i'd like to know if there are different springs/shocks that work for each end. For the rear i'd like something low but really soft for weight transfer off the corner. The left front i want something very low and soft and the right front i need something stiff (this is beyond the built in adjustments).. Let me know if you can help.. Money is a big object here so there wont be much high dollar billet stuff i can afford. Thanks
