  1. SA 2020 helmet release date?

    This is an old thread. There is zero reason to get a 2015 helmet even if you can find one. 2020 will be on close out late next year.as far as where….last i checked Amazon or eBay had never given a club you run with any support but the site sponsors are making this conversation...
  2. VERY soft brake pedal after wheel hub swap

    If it is air in the system, pumping the pedal will bring the pedal up higher.Silly question, but the new hubs are tight, correct? Any play there will knock the pads back and make the pedal shiznit. Though it usually comes back on the second pump.Also, the car was sitting for a bit? Make...
  3. S197 Adjustable shocks

    We loved our Koni Yellows for the price on our S197 when we ran it in street class autocross. Turn then "stiff" for autocross and then "soft" for daily driving (My wife drove it daily for 3-4 years). You could definitely feel the difference between stiff and soft.DaveW
  4. Custom graphics, where do you all get them ?

    That is a thing, but you won't like the performance of static cling. It is very finicky to install and then is super senstitive to heat and temp changes and may want to blow off. The cling materials are designed for static point of sale and window type stuff.Do you need it all to be on...
  5. Custom graphics, where do you all get them ?

    We can do them (solo performance). Email me Monday at [email protected] with dimensions and i can price out.There is no such thing as clear reusable vinyl however so they would have to either be on a larger background panel, or separate. (The glue on re-usable is not clear)DaveW
  6. popping when hitting light bumps

    I don't think it is the case here, but throw factory torque specs out the window on end links, especially aftermarket ones, if you want them to be quiet. I get them as tight as I can with a12-14" wrench and every time I go less than that, I get the car back.DaveW
  7. Considering selling my 2012

    Man, if I didn't have a kid in college and some medical stuff coming this year that's going to cost a lot out of pocket (cataracts, at fricken 52) I'd be on the way to Dallas to get this. I am wanting a toy car that is streetable nand love the BossesDaveW
  8. What restraints?

    All opinions...With a race seat and a bar, I wouldn't run a 4 point. The Schroth ASM ones are decent enough and an improvement over an OEM 3 point in a stock seat, but I am not sure there isn't a less compromised setup when one has a roll bar and race seat.And for most applications a 6...
  9. What restraints?

    Size of harness? You mean the shoulder belt size? Length is not an issue on anything but weird applications (wrong installs)There are still orgs out there that won't allow 2inch shoulder belts without a HNR device which may limit you to 3 inch. I find the 2" more comfortable but just...
  10. Weight vs Equipment - Wheels and Tires

    Cool car!You gotta remember, Blacksheep is on a pro team trying to find thousandths of a second against other pro teams.Most of the rest of us hacks aren't that. IMO you chasing weight in this manner is stepping over piles of $100 bills to get to pennies.Put the best and widest 200TW...
  11. Vorshlag MCS coilover or Shelby Penske Coilover kit

    Not arguing, but I haven't paid less than $200-250/shock for shock service from someone I trust in years. I mean Allgaier will do it slightly cheaper, but they know nothing about my application so they can only build exactly what a tell them (and I am not a shock guru, I need the application...
  12. Best enclosed trailer for an F150?

    Yeah, this. I had a 24' car trailer and towed it with my 2011 F150. It did fine, but....you had to have the WD/Sway set perfectly and you had to pay attention on windy days when trucks passed, or on heavily rutted highways or it would push you around. I was comfortable with it, but I would...
  13. 2023 SCCA Solo Moutrie National Tour short Recap

    I am not great at these recap things, but regardless....I just got back from the 2023 version of the SCCA Moultrie Georgia Autocross national tour. It was formerly run in December and had a different name, but we don't need to delve into that change here.CAMC entries were very light...
