Now that the motor thing has died down. What trans axles do you guys run. Thinking about going Weddle over Mende?

Also, wheres all the in car footage? Like Wendels footage, but he like me, needs to get a siren. Where do you get them from?

Actually Wendells car has a siren, the microphone is mounted in the back so you dont here it on the videos. I believe its a Whellen. You might think its a little heavey. but it keeps working. we would go through the cheap alarm sirens like every race. All self contained. Just google Whellen.

Awesome, little beep, beep don't work. I noticed that keeping (foward) lights on that most the time they move over before horn is necessary.

We run our forward lights as well, works great in the dust and people see it a long way out! The sooner they know im there, the sooner they get outa the way.

Ordering my new FORD motor parts this week, im glad the radiator isnt huge!

Whellen has a few. Which model should I get, what should I avoid? Kartek carries a few. Same ? Want the siren, don't care about the PA system ( though it would be fun for a co driver.....)

I wish all the race organizers would make lights mandatory. You can see them in your mirrors way before you can hear a siren. A lot of the faster guys don't even use their sirens anyways. They just punt you out of the way

You pulled the trigger dude? Call me after work today.

Is anyone using the king coilovers with internal bypasses for the front of their car? Any feedback or suggestions on these? I heard some 12 cars are using them

Cant imagine WHY you would on a race car. Weight savings I guess? I don't know that much about em, but it seems like it's more for applications where there is no room for a bypass without serious modifications. For example stock trucks, or trucks with basic lift kits. This is a cool youtube video showing how they work, make sure to read the description as well.

The bypass only engages the last couple of inches. They are basically like running a non-bypass with a hydro bump. The valving is also a lot more difficult to tune and dial in than a conventional resi or bypass shock. I think you would be better off doing the coilovers with a descent bump stop

King has a different opinion and said they are fine on a race car. I cant watch the video at work

I believe it is a WSSC30. I do like to patronize the race shops, but you may find it elseware. This thing is capable of lots of tones including an air horn sound. we just use it as a siren. Keep it simple.
