Thanks guys! Yes, I'll post an update on where I've been for the last three years or so in the Anything Goes forum.Sorry, can't part it out piece-by-piece. It's gotta be pick up at a shop near Burlington, VT. All the stuff is in one place tucked away, but I'm sure the owners of the shop will...

I'm currently living in California, but the Galant is still back in VT. 280/1000 just got it's full FIA spec. cage for Mt. Washington in June 2014, so the entire interior is available, including:-all interior door panels -all seats -sunroof headliner -all plastic interior panels -seat belt...

I've been lucky enough to get a ride in the Raider and it's 100% as advertised. Clean install, not overdone, completely sleeper. Quick, ballsy, and yes, badass. If only it had three more seat belts, Al.

I've been running 185/65R15s in VT for 3 seasons on two different GVR4s. 280 isn't going to see much winter duty anymore, but I guess I don't see how this tire size is any more or less dangerous than 195/60R15. The taller aspect ratio was a nice thing on crappy VT winter roads, and even with...

Another sad reality it that many of these cars saw duty in the rust belt of New England and the Upper Mid-West. They aren't particular good at avoiding frame rail rot, so I'm sure plenty of the cars delivered to their original owners in that area have simply succumbed to rust. 53/1000 was very...

RockAuto.com - Raybestos reman. unit w/o pads for the front - No problems and quick shipping. Just > $100 before the core charge.No parts house in my area either had one or could get one in less than 7 days.-Jim B. 280/1000

Enough of the ugly Galant, everyone lusted after la femme tres jolie, the Matra.Yeah, I need to concede I'm not really building the GVR4 for autox, but since I haven't really had the time or the budget this summer for track or hillclimb weekends, autox has been a very fun diversion. I'm...

Quote: A stock engine that is relatively healthy should get you that 3200 number, and the fairly significant bump in compression, plus careful cam selection (Like this: click or this: click ) should net you much better results.Liking the second option you posted for sure. Restrictor...

I believe there is one person I know of that went with the Evo III gear set plus the actual Evo III final drive as well. He hill climbs a 1G and says if he had it to do over again he wouldn't have gone so short with the gearing. He tops out at 115mph now, is shifting all the time, and at a few...

Definitely seems like it would address the 2-3 and 3-4 shift, and bringing 1st gear higher would help at autoxs for sure. I still need to do my p/s pump mod to get rid of p/s cut out above 6500 rpm, but 11% taller than GVR4 1st gear would give me more head room there regardless.So there is...

Long story short - for the types of events that I do, the gap between 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 could stand to be shorter to keep me in the power band. I'm honestly not sure if I have the DSM 1st gear or GVR4 1st gear, but either way, 1st gear is just about perfect for autox and hillclimb starts and I...

So it turns out some crazy tire width fully stripped down 89 CRX showed up, and due to our crazy classing rules, ended up in my class. Normally this type of car would be in D-Modified if we were going by SCCA rules.Anyway, that car got co-driven so it was actually entered in our Class twice...

Beginning to think it is a dry/bad carrier bearing. Got rid of all the other irregular noises and got a better bead on the noise. It's clearly rubber on metal, not the grinding or roaring of a bad wheel bearing.Will not make the sound when coasting backwards, makes no difference if the car...
