Typically doesn't matter. My fuel system is plumbed without a check valve, so it does all drain back. It still hits 65psi with the priming pulse.

So it was running, then when it hit 39psi it died? Meaning it was still running while declining like 60->50->40. The ITFP dead heads into the engine bay, no losses can occur up there unless it's leaking fuel externally. If the answer to the first question I asked is "Yes, it ran and then...

Yeah, we had to balance it out with 2nd gear engagement so it didn't slip. We found that point just fiddling with it a few times.

They're awful to clean. But man, they are incredibly light - just over 16lbs each for 18x12. That dropped 9lbs per wheel. We did some back to back testing with the rotas and litespeeds on the same course, and same day, and you can see the difference in the acceleration data. The main reason...

The orange wheels are Litespeed Racing RS5RR.

Yep, they haven't even pulled the wire yet. Waiting on the city for an inspection before the power company will run it.

I've been waiting on these sphericals for about a month, seems that everyone was sold out of this size. These are FK brand, 9/16" extra wide, stainless, with teflon race. Should last for a couple years in this environment. 3 of the 4 are a very light press fit, and one was a slip fit because...

Do you get any vibration or tapping in the clutch pedal if you press on it lightly? You might be able to do a piston height check - compare 1 & 4's height to each other, the compare 2 & 3's height to each other.

Ordering straight from Russia is really difficult now. @Atoms4Piece recently sourced them from a supplier state side, though. He can probably shed some light on it. They're a great alternative to stock. The front LCA's have integral ball joints, so I recommend just replacing those arms...

Did you lock the crank pulley in place while tightening everything down? How far off are we talking - take a pic!

We finished out the season on these without any issues. I'd guess we put a couple hundred runs on them throughout the season between all the drivers and events.

Like most things, nothing is simple. There was only 1 option for 57" cables when I bought them (none for 57.5"), and the ends are not like the ones shown earlier in the thread - my mistake, I overlooked it. The 40-057-GV-GV-3 part I bought has grooved ends instead of the threaded bulkhead...

LOL that's awful. I think I would drain the PTO first, that's the most likely place. If you get it up on 4 stands, you could probably drive it in the air and see if that helps you locate it, and let's you know if you have rear drive or not.

This build has been ongoing since I bought the car in 2013. I won't rehash everything that's been done to it, but if you want some info, just ask. I've built this car for SCCA's Street Prepared category in the sport of Solo (aka autocross). We have been very competitive over the years, and...

Do you have any video of it with good sound? If the trans is shifting OK, I doubt that's the source. A couple things to help diag: 1) Front or rear - It might be easier to hear diff whine if you fold the back seats down. That made it super obvious when my rear diff died. Link to video 2)...

I had one cable start to get REALLY bad a couple weeks ago and the car is nearly impossible to put in reverse. After reading through this thread, I've ordered 57" cables from MidWest control of the Armor (standard) core type with stainless rod ends. $220 shipped, and I'll whip up a bracket...

I see a couple different ways you could do it - Add a spacer under/over the spring in the strut assembly. This increases the preload on the spring, and might hurt ride comfort a bit. Add a spacer on top of the strut assembly. No change in spring preload, but you would need longer studs to...

I'd just grab a CX7 transfer case and never look back. Swap the input shaft and seals, bolt it on.
