+1 - Hope to make it...I was only able to make 2 trips but was a great time - nice to meet new people and have some fun...Esco had some gnarly spicy beef jerky :).

Been a long time - but two red light tickets - in both cases I argued the duration between when the light turns yellow to red was not in spec based on posted information available on the net (I.E - IF speed limit is 45 MPH the duration time should be 3 seconds, if 25 MPH, it's 2 seconds, etc). I...

There's a few pics in this thread - but can others post pictures of their throttle cable setups? Given I'm doing a mid-engine I don't plan on flipping the intake

None of the desert racers seems to use Ron Davis anymore. CBR is my vote - back in 2001, Ron Davis

me too -but I was being nice haha

Nice looking -it would be hard to beat a KTM or a Husky though

Sold my Goldwing yesterday - guy drove from Phoenix to buy it...Just didn't enjoy riding it much anymore - and using the money to help fund the wife's buggy project. Next bike would be a dual sport I think...something lighter, offroad capable but still fun on the street Enjoying the rain...

Plan to have 15x 5's / 5.5's up front and 15x12's in the back...I like tires to look proportionate to the car size, but also functional...some cars have huge and or too small of tire and makes it look odd. For the fronts I'm thinking these - 28 tall (it's that or the 8.5's - but that might look...

I'm not sure if I agree with the slower flow being not good...I'm no expert of course - but water will cool more in the radiator if it sits in there longer...but to your point the water will then heat more if sitting in the engine longer. I'm surprised I couldn't find a YouTube video where...

Sold it for 900

if you happen to have more pics of this car showing the sears and can share I'd appreciate it. That's a clean car!

Figure I'd post an update as to where I am with the project. Sold the 002, VW Engine, and the trailer the car came with...got ~$2500 back, which is helping fund the project. Spoke to Matt at Alumicraft to get his thoughts on a mid-engine 3.5 vs keeping it a rear engine - and after speaking...

Few people mentioned no thermostat - I use one and have never gone above 195 - but it's also my understanding that a thermostat also slows the circulation of water through the entire system - meaning, it keeps the water in the radiator longer allow it to cool down more (make sense to me at...

Getting close to putting together a 3.5 - and was wondering if someone could post all the mods you need to do to the stock engine to make it function in sand car? So far it seems like: EGR remove and block off plate? Weld some cap thing on the water pump? Questions I'm still figuring out...

Dude - shhhh, secrets.

Depends what part of CA you are in - avoid the coast, and live in rural areas...have a well, some land - if that's your lifestyle the cost of living is pretty similar from state to state from what I've looked at. If you want to live in a housing track - then ya, cheaper outside of CA.

In my case none of the nice take off were the right dimensions so I had to buy new. That file is Fox's aftermarket shocks / not the shocks that come on the units from the factory fwiw.

It makes me sad - the little chatter bumps are everywhere...people with old school buggies, quads, etc won't be able to experience what most of us had the luxury of experiencing...which is to say, no chatter bumps in the dunes, anywhere - and with the suspension on those vehicles, it's...

I have the same setup and had the same problem...Spend the money on internal bypass shocks - night and day difference for me. It's $, but worth it. My fronts and rears are for a side by side...the difference is they come with a rebound adjustment (it's a needle the goes up through the shaft of...

Figured I'd share since I have the same setup...I have a heat exchanger and an oil cooler as well (just for the oil) - but I've yet to see over 200 degrees. No windshield either, I'm sure that's a factor.
