Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I know everyone's still pissed about the proving grounds. But I cant afford to drive to Iowa right now. Im planning on going to the fun day on the 22nd. We should get a good group together for this event.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

My birthday is the day before. If I get this revving issue sorted out with my car, i'd love to go.

I might, same deal with not having the $$ for Iowa, but I have to tighten the FUCKING GOD DAMN flywheel bolts again!! I am so sick of pulling trannies in the damn thing every 150 miles.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Jet, why don't you just tack weld the fuckers?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Sweet!! If Swifty Jet and I all show up and run the times our cars are capable of mabey rock falls will see what DSM are really about.

Jet are you using the shorter 7bolt or Supra/ARP flywheel bolts bolts? I know the stock DSM's are to long fot the twin disks. Ive heard its a good idea to run the auto flywheel spacer with the twindisks too

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

jet? You re-using those? I'm telling ya man, you need help with that fricken car!

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Yea brownman! I wanna see you run again! shoot for 11's? Get that setup going man!

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

11s might be a bit steep, but i will see and try, i think low 12s for sure.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

:lol: So ghetto it just might work!!! ;) I might be able to go. I gotta get a few things inline not car related.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Where have you seen anything about that? On NABR they are recommending using the auto spacer and LONGER auto bolts, but the head has to be shaved down. That is probably what I am going to be trying this time.

Anyone work at a machine shop with a surface grinder or kinow of someone that does? I could do it myself, but I don't have access to one.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I don't remember what I did with mine, but I haven't had any problems, at least not with the clutch or flywheel bolts. Which flywheel do you have?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I used an ARP head bolt washer under the head of each of my flywheel bolts with my twin disc. It didn't come lose even after reving to 11,800, but I never put too many miles on the car, just some trips to Midway and 700whp fun around Elite and on 94.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Aluminum and steel do not weld together well. We had to shave some bolt heads down on a SRT I just used the lathe. I would just take a thin metal ring that would sit just inside or outside of the bolt head and weld all 6 bolts to it.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Actually the twin disks aren't aluminum flywheels. I have the Devo one Steve, so it should be a PTT flywheel. I was thinking the same thing John, if they loosen up one more time I will tack weld the bolts to the spacer from the auto, then I can grind the tacks off and not damage the flywheel itself.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

are there requirements for going to this? helmets etc?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

you'll need a Helmet (snel 2000 or better) they'll check your car. Usually just check that the battery is secured and thet you have a coolent overflow.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

If I get tires before then I'll tag along but no racing, haven't been to a track once this year.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Welcome to the club! It isn't looking good for me either. I think the car's aborted until next year, once the SMIM, fuel system etc goes in.
