Re: The dreaded click

FWIW, I've also seen someone hook up cable directly to the leads on the starter, and then tapping a battery with the other ends to see if the starter tries to engage. (Make sure car is out of gear, and parking brake is engaged). But this will tell you if the starter is any good.

Re: Stick with 888Rs or ...

So guys, I assume some of you live in "colder" climates and might not have heated garages, so I wanna ask this tire related question. Do you guys do anything over the winter to keep your tires from getting too cold? Wrap them? Park on wood? Here in the PNW of the US where I am, we had a we...

Re: Stick with 888Rs or ...

I've done some research, and the kumho v730 is highly rated. Anyone know anything about them? (Plus they come in the right sizes for my 3S).

Re: Tennessee Registration?

Just want to throw this out. I recently bought a 3S that has a TN VIN sticker on it. So it WAS registered there. I have no idea the hoops that the original owner had to jump through, but it has the sticker.

Re: Helmet and gloves

I would suggest getting a helmet with a duck bill on the chin as it helps stop the helmet from lifting when going at speed when the air tries to get under your helmet and forces your head back. YES, if you don't have a wind[shield|screen] you need either a duck bill on the front, or a spoiler on th...

Re: Helmet and gloves

Also, if you don't have the windscreen WEAR THE HELMET when you go out for a drive. I was on the freeway here in the US and had a stone of considerable size whiz by my head. I shudder to think what would have happened had it hit me, and I hadn't been wearing a helmet. That even cemented it for me.

Re: Stand alone Satnav - is the writing on the wall?

That's probably why Garmin has branched out. They now make a "Racing data logger" thing that supposedly includes realtime coaching delivered to you over bluetooth. (Garmin Catalyst). If anyone here HAS one of these, I'd like to know how well the coaching works, and what the battery life is...

Re: US Atom: Roll Call - Who's Active?

Peter S. here from Atlanta GA. I just picked up a Brammo AA2 for road and track events. This one has some exposure on YouTube from the previous owner (Cleetus McFarland). Congrats! I posted a thread a while back asking if anyone recognized it. What can you tell us about the mods and tune? (Also, wh...

Re: Project WEEEEE Building my dream car

There's a guy over in the "For Sale" section with some lights for sale. He doesn't want to ship to Europe, but might ship them to the US? (They're already wired, and have the proper mounts as well).
