That time of year has come again, and I am happy to announce this year's bbq & open house. We are expecting another record turnout this year, and we are preparing for that. This year we will again have free food, but it will be professionally catered texas style bbq! We will have beers on tap...

Hi Everybody, We're gearing up for another great event this year. Festivities get started at 6:00pm... Bring your friends! Cheers,

Had an opportunity last week to get a couple pulls, thought it would be a good base line for planning future mods. All in all I'm pretty happy with the results, really not bad considering I Haven't done much to the car and it was only running 15psi. Enjoy! Having trouble getting video to...

Went down for a day to check out the show, meet some of our suppliers in person, and get some new ideas... Next year I'm gonna need more than a day, it was a lot to take in! RSI will likely have some new products listed up in the next few weeks as we get some details worked out... Here are some...

After having totalled our chump car last the weekend, and spending some time on bring a trailer, it got me to thinking, does anybody know if there are any of the original Escort 740 Turbo Race cars in the US anymore? I found a few pictures when searching when I was searching, also revisited the...

On my 142, it has a LSD swapped in, I was under the impression that it was a axle with the carrier swapped out (the panhard and torque rods look to be 140 stuff)... I took my rotors off in the back, and noticed that on the passenger side, there was this crown washer: And the drivers side...

Well as most of you are probably aware, I decided to throw in the towel on turning my 242 "Vurbo" into a full blown race car... So I was in the market for something I could make into a fun weekend cruiser that was sporty enough that it could be pressed into track use if wanted... I have always...

So the harmonic balancer on my 940 has started slipping, but hasn't really started wobbling yet. Has anybody tried taking it off and using some sort of adhesive to get the rubber to bond back on both sides? Or am I just trying to be too much of a cheapskate... Seems like it could be worth a try...

What we have here... Is an epic showdown guaranteed to please all... Bergen's 11 second wagon is finally ready to flog the 1320, and there is a good likelyhood that it will be lining up with Cameron's 16 valve... Vurbo will hopefully be making an appearance as well, with hopefully not as...

Well I just got a '94 940 base model from my mom for a new daily driver. All in all it is in pretty good shape, but it is getting terrible gas mileage and running pretty rough. Something that I have always been questionable about with this car is that it has an air pump/egr system which I know...

Is there a set of bushing inside of the steering column that support the upper column where the wheel is attached... and is it replaceable? My car has a terrible amount of play in the axis which the steering wheel should be rotating on, especially in an up and down motion. When driving the car...

To precursor this, I have been having issues with megasquirt not allowing me to rev to redline, and getting errant resets. Sometimes the car pulls strong, other times (like when I was at the drags last weekend) not so much. So trying to find the errant issue my car is having, one of the things...

Drove the car around a bunch today with Jcrump84, in the process got some tuning done, had a total brake master cylinder failure... and then had a chance to stop on the way home, and snapped these:

I'm getting really frustrated... After beefing this thing up to this... still getting cutouts... I'm tempted to start over on the bracket as the alignment seems to be a little bit less than perpendicular to the trigger wheel... But other than that, does this look like it would do the trick? It...

So tonight Poik and I did a bit more shakedown tuning with vurbo. After swapping to his MSQ (with some req fuel scaling), and finding a potentially hazardous wiring issue... It starts up and runs pretty good. We were able to drive it around a bit (probably 20 minutes or so)... But when it gets...

So this is an 8 valve question, but related somewhat to a 16 valve in a way. I'm wondering if putting a b21f intake manifold, probably with a larger throttle body adapted, would have similar flow issues as the b234 manifold when boosted, where some cylinders get more air than others. It seems to...
