Please send me photos of the car that you have. The email link on the
site where your ad is hosted didn't work for me (something to look into?).

1. will car fit 2 - 220 pound 6 footers in the car, & not bottom out &
be drivable ? Well I weight around 175 lbs and 5.9

the previous owner is over 6 and the car have the tall man kit, and he
had students on the track, so it should not been a problem.

2. What does the car weigh ? around 1300 lbs

3. What size & type tires does the car use ? DOT tires ? Racing Slicks ?
I run on 205/50/15 Avon Tech R
It does have a old set slicks, have 4 set of rims

4. Is rear suspension a solid axle type or varient ? It used to be
spool, but added the wedge lock on it.

5. Does the car have optional seat & harness for passinger ? You do not
need the seat for passenger and yes it does have an outdated harenss
Also the drivers side need to update belts unless you just to T.T

6. Does car have an alternator to recharge the battery ? Will it also
run the car Ign & FI along with headlights, wipers, etc & still charge the battery ? Does it have enough amps output ? It does not have the
headlights but have wiper (Took it off, no need in CA)
Yes it does charge the battery.

7. Is the car a CHAIN drive car ? Yes

8. Does the car have a SCCA log book ? Or ?
It does have a TCRA log book

9. How may races on car ? Where raced & how many owners in past ? The
previous owner never raced the car,

I raced it maybe around 5 times only

10. Is engine dry sumped or Acusumped ? Is not dry sumped

11. What does a replacement crate engine cost - same type in car now ?
Can a Suzuki DSR motor fit with out to much modification ?
The crate engine we got from Diasio cost me $2500 brand new. Other
owners have put in the Hayabusa in the car
Not an expect so can't tell you how much modification it takes
Thanks/Edmond

Engines can be re-fitted. I have R-1's with dry sump in my car. You have
to be careful to maintain as close as possible the location of the
engine output
shaft...as this determines the pivot point for the chain-to-differential geometry...bottom line is these cars have hayabusas, R-1s and Gixxers in
them. It can
be done.

Edmonds car is a relatively unmodified car. These cars need development
to make them quicker. Big issue is aero. They need a front splitter as
the front of the
bodywork is totally open underneath...the engine bay is open, so lots of
drag at the front and rear of the car. A little work and these are
corrected, and the
car immediately will be a bunch quicker. Edmond's car also has the
limited slip differential versus the original spool. This was done to
allow easier
turn-in...the locked diff cars tend to want to understeer...
If I understand correctly, Edmond's car still has the YZF engine(s).
These cars are also under-tired. I now have 9" and 14" wide wheels on
mine (front and rear respectively). tires are 9.50's front and 11's on
the rear. They are 15 dia. Car has LOTS of brakes, with big Wilwoods all around. The chassis are well built, being made by FABCAR. A little
over-built, but are
quite stout because of this. A good, strong, chassis, easy to set up suspension, room for immediate aero improvement, and roof over your head.
I know the same can be said of my motorhome, but the Diasio is a bunch
more fun to drive.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

Tom, yeah do have the YZF R engine on my car. My next step was going to
do the splitter and the rear.
However with new baby and 3 race cars, so the race cars got to go or the
the baby.
Tom is correct the Diasio is a blast to drive.
Thanks/Edmond

So, how did the run at Button Willow go?

Do you figure the engine is mostly broken in now?
Was this a race event or just an open track day?
(or, in other words, were times officially recorded?)
As always, wishing you well.

We ran with AROSC/TCRA
They both have Open track and race group
I was in the race group.
On Sat practice I only did 2'16
And on the qualify race I did 2'08 without pushing the car too hard.
I know i can shave of a few seconds and maybe with faster driver it will
be under 2 min
We #13CW

Yes the engine is fully broken in now, just have a few minor things.

The left front shocks need to be re-seal or swap ($100) and small leak
from rear end which is a easy fix
Beside from that the car ran great.

Helpful statement from MVS elsewhere:
"Here's a link to BW's website, which has all their track maps: http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com/ "

What track configuration did you run?
I have 'on line' found some results from that organization,
but have not yet found that weekend's results sheets.
Can you provide a link?

Hi Manfred
Nope did not have the chance to fix those problem, would most likely
leave it that way and just lower the price.

Sorry your offer is way too low.
Thanks/Edmond
