I used high tensile wire inside .250 DOT air brake line for my shut off, leave the DOT line free to move at the guillotine. them attach another driver controlled cable to the DOT line! when driver pulls the control, both the wire and outer liner will pull away from the shut off! if rear shut off ring is pulled? it wont mess up your on board system! just a thought?

5 bolts a side for the base-grade 8 hardware preferred.also use grade 8 too if you are bolting the cage to the base, don't forget the front brace tubes! remember you want to save your life someday?

a lot of visors seem to fog quite easily! so you either can't see where you are going or take the chance on leaving it up? don't know what's more dangerous? take your pick?

good luck? when they said" we are going to open your eyes" we found out that wasn't a lie after owning the first 7030 sold up here! i think you might have a head ache or 2 with that rear end? but then I could be wrong?

so let's carry this silly theory a little further? you say if your front wheels can't break off? you don't need the cage, skis, wheelie bar,and all the other equipment?because by golly I feel perfectly safe with out them? The driver here walked away from the wreck and lived for another day! you put all this stuff on for the rare unforeseen mishap? You do wear your seat belts when y

will likely take less! have found the closer to intake you go, the less time for water to vapourize? stay as far away from engine as possible! just my experience! am sure others will differ?

do you run stock intake and exhaust manifolds? if running a header system? don't run any more tubing between the turbo and head then absolutely necessary! too much internal volumne can cause surge!

depends on your turbo? roller bearing turbos don't use near as much as a floating sleeve bearing type turbo? still I would put as big a drain line as possible, regardless of turbo type? a hard line( solid tube) will flow better then a flex line of the same inside dimensions? make sure the outlet back into the motor stays well above the oil in the pan!

works much like an ATV,chainsaw, snowmobile, ETC. weights that you either add or subtract affixed to the clutch fingers control the amount of engagement pressure! You still have a release bearing activated by your clutch pedal, this way you can somewhat control when the clutch engages? of course this will depend on the strength in your left leg? drawbacks?-clutch will release if you loose too muc

I keep telling our scraper and wobble wheel guys to start moving as soon as the sled leaves the line! track people have to be on their toes! but then they are expecting equipment moving around them! and leave the nervous turtle (sm

depends on how burnt? and if the local FD tried to put it out? was told when cold water hits the hot motor,will cause cracks since differing metals will shrink at different speeds? Am sure others will offer opinions on this as well?

most turbos allow you to rotate both the exhaust and intake ends to any position while allowing you to position center section like "builder" has suggested.

have seen various ideas used! some have just extended the shifter arms from the tranny up through the floor. I put two shift levers on the left side between the seat and roll cage with a double cross shaft under the seat. does not have to be fancy as all you are doing is moving it from one gear to the next,it can be challenging to find the right gear as you are now going mostly by feel?
