The coast muffler is excellent. For $250 buy it and forget about it. It doesn't impact performance at all. The 4.5 x 14 will quiet the car nicely. Order it with the stainless steel scrubble...

I see no reason not to allow mag uprights i just wasn't aware of a VD since 1997 to have them. It's interesting that VD stopped making them 11 years ago. I wonder why.
Here's what I have on my 2000 VD which is basically the same as the 1997. It was my understanding that the rears were used up until at least 2006. There is a newer style front upright from 2001 on...
I've owned 5 VD's (models 1997 - 2000) and unless I don't know the difference between mag and aluminum (black vs shiny silver) I'm pretty sure none of them had magnesium uprights. The 98 and newer...
Probably a stupid question but where will it be held? How many F1000 cars are you expecting/hoping for?
I'm currently deciding if my car will become zetec powered or a Novak F1000.
Has the car run yet? What's the conversion cost?
I must have misunderstood Jeremy. I thought he tested the car a few weeks ago and this was the first race. The car I saw at Beaver Run this past weekend is easily capable of 25s or better at MO. ...
Jeremy Hill's latest Photon VD07 made it's debut at the Beaver Run National this past weekend. He was paddocked next to me so I had the opportunity to see it up close. I have to say he did an...
Stan,
I was one of the FC guys who supported Nationals in the NE this year. In addition I hauled 34 hours to the Sprints and 41 hours to the Runoffs by myself. I raced at one Hankook event...
Very intersting that the FC numbers decreased significantly when Pro F2000 went to the Zetec. Give it time and they'll come back. Mike and crew are doing a very good thing.
Rob,
I believe history shows that a vibrant pro series actually helps club racing in the long run. No question FC numbers were hurt in the inaugural year of the Hankook series however in the long...
I can't believe there is actually discussion about adding two more national formula car classes (see the FSCCA thread as well). All this is going to do is force more FC's to run in the east and west...
I don't know what is more disturbing, that this actually happened or that there is a perception by the BoD that we need more national classes and therefore they are now making it easier to create...
Engine availability and engine of the week/year has been a great concern to me which is why I asked about availability earlier. Mike, you can't buy a 2006 Suzuki engine new from a dealer and I...
Rob, how many Kawaski engines are available, how long will parts and replacement engines be available, how many different engine manufactureres would you expect to be legal in F1000?
As one of the...
One of the biggest concerns expressed by members regarding the Zetec proposal in FC was engine availability. Rick Silver provided detailed numbers on engine availabilty and length of new engines...
I have to admit this is the first time I have ever read a post in the F1000 section of Apex and wow I didn't realize what was going on!
Richard, I agree with most of your points. Having read...
