I have a 2018 Maverick X3 Turbo R. It has a tuner and running 195 hp so same as a RR. It is mainly driven by my young adult kids when we go to the dunes or on trails. The secondary clutch just starting making a god awful noise and the belt is slipping when starting from a stop. I put a new belt...

Recently went back and re-read @SeanRitchie great thread that lead to his input on clutching or not when shifting a sequential gearbox. His thread is here : Sequential vs. Synchromesh, The Difference Makes me wonder how many of you clutch your sequential or simply lift off throttle and shift...

I'm thinking about getting my wife a 911. Any experts here? I'm looking at good condition, low mileage used. Probably in the 2016-2018 vintage range. Found a nice Carrera S but curious if it is worth it to spend the extra $$ to go up to a Turbo or even Turbo S model? I have researched the spec...

Curious for those with fueling stations in your trailer. Do you connect a static ground before you start pumping fuel? Where do you connect it to? Just a decent conductive point on the vehicle you are putting fuel into? I also have a 28 gallon fuel caddy that has a 12v pump. The tank itself is...

What line of tools are folks using these days? I'm talking mostly hand tools here. I used to buy mainly Snap On, Mac, Matco and similar if I could find decent deals. I've recently bought some HF Icon and been happy with it thus far. I've bought a few things in SunEx that have been good too. I...

I'm curious what folks do, if anything, about securing your sand cars at the dunes? I'm not necessarily talking about at camp but when you go to the Beach Store or Vendor's Row, Duner's Diner, etc. I was watching a YouTube Vid this morning of a guy videoing nice cars parked in front of the...

I’ve seen a few of the new Racer front engine sand cars now. I’m curious what the benefit of the front engine is? Is the car better balanced or something? Seems like the weight up front would be much harder on the front suspension? And from photos engine maintenance and repair looks like it...

Curious how many of you have a Lowrance, Garmin or similar unit on the dash of your sandcar and do you actually use it? And by use it, I mean the navigation feature, not just for a back up camera screen or GPS speed. I was planning to put one in my new car but mainly just because the Holley dash...

I've been searching the web for a 32" -34" wide tool box to go in my new trailer but not finding anything. I need a top chest style to sit on the counter. needs to be 32-34 wide x roughly 18 deep and max 20 tall. I would have never thought I couldn't find something. If you come across something...

I have an LS7 built for my new sand car that I intended to put a Whipple 4.5 on. Problem is, you can't Whipples now due to a foundry casting issue. I already have a thread searching for a 4.5 with no luck thus far (at reasonable price with what I need). So I'm looking to go to small twin turbos...

Looking for a Whipple 4.5 for a new LS7 build. Apparently Whipple is having issues with their foundry and is rejecting the castings and thus is unable to deliver. Currently no credible delivery date that we’ve heard from Whipple. If anyone has one or knows where there might be one, please send...

For those of with you higher dollar, higher hp sand cars, what type of insurance coverage do you carry and where do you find it? Do you have liability only or a more comprehensive package including fire, theft, collision, etc. ? What range of premiums are you paying for what type of coverage? ...

I ordered a new 26" Intech custom aluminum trailer for my soon to be built new Funco. I really like Intech's process. They provide full engineered drawings and have a comprehensive review and sign off process. My trailer is now in production and they upload progress photos to my customer portal...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good shipper for a new 26’ enclosed trailer? My new Intech will be done in a few weeks and I need it shipped from Indiana to Oregon. It’s about 2300 miles one way door to door. I have a quote from my dealer but it seems expensive at over $2/mile. Maybe...

I'm in the que and will have a new Funco built starting this fall. I will need to make a decision on what trans to go with here shortly in order to get a trans in time to support the build. I've already selected the engine and have the long lead items ordered there. The car will be a GTU based...

I realize this is a long shot but figured worth a try. I'm having a 26' trailer built at Intech in Nappanee Indiana. It should be ready in July. I need to get it towed out west. Any chance someone might be going through that general location on vacation or for other reasons and might able to...

In my quest to get my sand car build right I would love to get some input on intercoms, helmets and helmet pumpers. For the intercom and car to car I haven't discussed with Grant yet as build date is still kinda far off. My quote has this:  Intercom & Car to Car Communications...

Happy to pay for your time and expenses or a rack of beer or whatever you like. DM me. Thanks!

Curious how many of you have to R&R your paddles to get your sand car in your trailer? How much do you despise having to do it or no big deal? I would prefer not to have to mess with it but going to a custom over width stacker trailer big enough to haul all my junk is getting up there in...
