Call the local CHP office and ask for the Vin Officer. Explain the situation and see what he says.

What year is your car listed as on your registration? California is smog exempt pre 1976. For kit car in California, you can basically claim what year the motor is from, so you say it pre 75. However, you can only register a Kit Car in California if you built it yourself with out the intent to...

My frame #280 didn’t have the tab. I added one

My fast lap of 1:49 was about the pace of my fastest laps in my Supercharged 85 VW Golf. Muscle memory is a funny thing. I would be disappointed if I can't get into the mid 1:30s. The car has the capabilities, but do I have the cojones... I'm very much looking forward to dialing in the...

Yeah, to clarify, I actually don’t think those codes are related. I think I’m getting those codes when I’m using my battery disconnect before the car has had time to sit for a while and completely shut down.

This last weekend, on two separate occasions, the car lost communications with the Throttle Pedal and I'm looking for answers. Both times, the throttle pedal suddenly became unresponsive. The first time, it fixed it self when I turn the car off and back on. The 2nd time I had to clear codes...

I got the car out for another weekend with some pretty good results. The car still has a lot of kinks to work out, but it’s feeling really good. Here is a session where I’m paying less attention to gauges and more to driving. There is lot of pace in the car still. I just need to work up the...

Been off the forms for a while and just saw this and have sent in a email to request the purchase. I’ve been tracking this development for ever and am stoked it’s been finalized. Going to have to sell those hard to find LNF knuckles and ZZP control arms to offset the costs. I’m also hoping the...

First time I put the motor in I put that bolt in when installing the sub frame before the rest of the subframe bolts. The second time, I forgot about it and had to loosen the motor/trans mounting bolts and use a ratchet strap, jack and a hammer to make it work.

Well it finally happened. Kit #280 has been on it's first drive! The first drive was actually three days of testing at Laguna Seca and I'm pretty happy with the results. After replacing the rear main seal, I was crunched for time to get ready so I just zeroed out the tow and didn't mess with...

IIRC, If you move the ball to the upper hole, it shorts the throw of the shifter

Dark Blue and Light Blue.

For what its worth, I'm starting out with 550lb Front, 450lb Rear springs, 3/4" front adjustable sway bar, and 18mm rear non adjustable sway bar. The car can theoretically make up to 450lbs of down force at 100mph, and almost 900lbs at 140mph. The car is purpose build for the race track. It...

I haven’t put hydraulic fluid in my clutch line yet. Is it possible the throw out bearing need some pressure to set?

I have a borescope coming. if it’s the transmission, I should be able to see fluid though the inspection port, right?

Well ****. I got the car together in about 40 hours, and it fired right today. I tightened up one loose oil cooler line and snugged down a fuel fitting and all seems to be great. then I noticed a steady drip of oil coming out between the trans the motor. My only thought is the rear seal. Anyone...

The Car is still on jackstands. I guess before I do anything too drastic let me get it on the ground and see what the bar does.

Thanks! I’ll flip it over

Similar, but I want to use the DF fenders that use the sway bar mounting hole, so I’m thinking I need to thru bolt the fender and use a rod mount for the end link.

I’ll take a look and see if it clears if I can get it rotated down. The adjustable links won’t be used to add any preload, instead they will be used to ensure there is no preload when the corner balance in complete
