    Dylan's 1976 Datsun 280Z

    Background: About 1 month ago I got scammed during the purchase of a turbo kit for the S. After all that blew over I decided to say 'screw it' and buy a car I've wanted for a while with the money I would have spent on said turbo. I'm the third owner of this car and right now it sits at just a...

    Drevans_satx's (Dylan's) s2000

    Well recently I traded the ITR #01-0148 for this 2003 Honda s2000. The ITR was great, but I daily drive my cars 5 days a week about 55 miles round trip. I didn't like putting that kind of mileage on it and the guy whom I traded with was absolutely in love with the car as soon as he saw it. He...

    A Wild Chirp Appears.

    So on my leisurely drive to work last night my car began making a 'chirping' noise upon deceleration, only below 3500 rpms. The best I can describe it is when your serpentine belt tensioner goes out on a domestic motor. I know for sure its not a belt squeal so I'm asking for some ideas and fixes...

    Check Out Your VIN For Free

    Alright folks recently I've stumbled upon a way to check your VIN number for free. It uses Autocheck, which is pretty much CarFax. What I assume happened is this dealership got a 1 year sub, or maybe unlimited sub to this site and embedded it in their own website. Either way this stuff actually...

    Traction Bar on a DD/AutoX Vehicle

    I understand the concept behind the traction bar. It's pretty great. Eliminating wheel hop is always nice. But from the way it installs it seems like it would have some issues on a tight turn or a sudden pothole (binding). So my question is, does anyone here DD a car with a traction bar...

    I'm not quite sure of this is the correct section, but lately I've been thinking about getting in to Auto-X. The rules are rather clear on the required rating and such, but I was wondering what helmets you use? As I've seen a large number of people on this forum go to track days, this should...

    So as the title says, my ITR refuses to start. When i turn the key I can hear the fuel pump priming (Walbro 255) It doesnt even attempt to turn over. The pump just makes its sound as long as the key is turned to start or the push to start button is pressed. I checked the main relay and it...
