DipstickMotorsports replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.my 2014 carbon hood did a moon mission when I forgot to latch it other day, went about 20 ft in the air. Surprised there isn't more damage, I've patched her up and it will live another day - Fiberglass version wouldn't have had the same fate.-

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.Someplace around here I have a set of shims, if you need any let me know, they are expensive if you have to buy them
Ken R replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.Thanks blacksheep, yeah I really got into the weeds on this haThe main thing I am trying to avoid is the over extension of the ToB and having to replace it sooner than expected, I suspect that the design intent was to create less clutch pedal...

TMSBOSS replied to the thread Gen2 Engine Rebuild Needed or not?.The gen 3 short block is about $3k. I suspect there will be a warranty with the block also. Ask the dealer to confirm.

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 3V Clutch ToB Spacing.Boy is this a can of worms, I replaced my stock clutch with a single disc Spec. The pedal was always low, I would occaisionally miss a shift. After a few years, along with wear, I had enough and went to an Evedy dual disc which has worked out...
mavisky replied to the thread Gen2 Engine Rebuild Needed or not?.Technically you could pull the one rod and piston combo by just removing the cylinder head covering cylinder 8 and the oil pan. Depending on what went on you could potentially just put a new piston and rings into that cylinder and re-use the rod...
Date of Lap time:There is room for improvement, but I'm happy with my time considering this is my first time doing full-pace laps on any road course. Minimizing coasting seems to be what I need to focus on next.
mwjscn replied to the thread Gen2 Engine Rebuild Needed or not?.If you're just replacing the rods & rod bearings, the crankshaft doesn't need to come out provided it has no damage. Getting a new shortblock may be a viable answer, but just wanted to give clarity to both options. It appears that the OEM Gen 3...
JeffV8 replied to the thread Gen2 Engine Rebuild Needed or not?.That would be the way to go. You would still need cam chains and I would install new oil pump and good oil pump gear.
biggsy replied to the thread Gen2 Engine Rebuild Needed or not?.Watched a few videos of YouTube online … to replace one rod/piston assembly, is it essentially the entire engine being torn apart? I know everything from the heads and up come off but does the crank also? I’m just thinking with the labor cost, I...
Stangra replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.BTW The gelcoated carbon hood is clear carbon on the underside except around the edges... Love the look!-
Stangra replied to the thread '05-'09 fiberglass vs carbon fiber Tiger Racing hoods?.14 lbs. vs 22 lbs for a 2014 hood. I think the carbon might be a little stronger though, and even at that mine flexes a bit. Haven't road tested yet to see how well it holds shape, but others here may have experience and more info.
