I found out something today while working on my rail and i thought i would pass it along.When i was tring to put my fuel tank in i noticed i couldn't tighten one of the tank straps up because the tank was hitting the starter.Fortunatly i have a IMI high tourqe starter and i figured out that i can clock it around for more clearence,i did not know these starters had this option.

Cmon, Bucky. Open them eyeballs.

J/K. that IS a real nice feature of those things.

So the 16 rib is no b/s I have heard bout it but never was told it was a real thing.

He's talking about a 6 rib with an aftermarket gear set installed.

Yeah i over exaggerate a built 6 rib a bit,but i gotta say that the porta-band saw cut the KP spuds off with the quickness.Im buying one soon as i can.Ive sent the money for my wheel adapters,gotta weld the BJ spuds on,buy calipers and do the normal little things and im ready.By the way i have been doind some research on calipers and i cant find the wilwood knockoffs any cheaper than $139 and they are at Drews.hell i can buy the real wilwoods cheaper than that.Can someone tell me where i can find the knockoffs for less than the real thing?

NOW GAS IT!!!!!

Im going to buy the real deal.Ive always used to run Nissan calipers but those were always in lightwieght 1 seaters and they never let me down,but now im in a little bit heavier buggy and will be hauling my son most of the time so i want it to be as safe as i can get it,plus there is nothing wrong with buying quality parts,especially for where we take these things.

Wilwoods are better, but I used to run Sentra calipers on that buggy, and they did just fine. I switched to teh Wilwoods about 6 months before I sold it to ya, because I kept having brake problems after replacing the Sentra calipers with brand new ones, and when I put the Wilwoods on I still had the same problem. It turned out to be a bad master cylinder, that was only 2 months old. I agree with buying the best of the best, but if you're on a tight budget go ahead with the Sentras, they never let me down. Charlie has been runnin em for years too. But, those arms I left on the buggy already have mounts for the Wiliwood calipers. Just my two cents. Get that beast done, let's ride!

summit racing has 4 piston brake calipers on sale right now made by ssbc for 89.95 a piece. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SSB-A22173/?rtype=10
i haven't used them on a buggy yet but my uncle runs them on his drag car and loves em. i plan on using them on my new subaru stalker fox coilover buggy build. i would get the comp s calipers instead of the comp r because the comp r doesnt have dust seals. the only downfall is they wont ship til march 12th but i live right down the street from them.

That is a hell of a deal plus it includes the pads and hardware.Thanks for the heads up Mjb600.Now i dont want people thinking i think knockoffs are a bad caliper,but they are called knockoffs,so they should be priced like a knockoff product.

I talked to Brain Drew he said $100 for knockoffs. just say you saw it on woodsbuggy. They are $119 normally. He said they are sorry if you where priced $139 .

Has anyone ever rebuilt a high torque IMI starter? This damn thing worked on my last buggy and now it decides it just wants to click,i have beat on it a little and nothing,i took it off and it clicked a few times and then finally started to spin over,but when i stuck it back on it just clicked again. Ive checked the battery,all connections. Any ideas???

Just take the solenoid apart and sand, clean the contact disk,use dielectric grease to coat the contact areas.
Reasemble and seal it up good.

Are you talking about the round copper lookin disc,if so i did take that apart and clean it but i didn't put any dielectric grease on it but i will get some and try it again.Thanks for the info.

how much do u like on this buggy

The grease is just to slow down corrosion. It should work if you cleaned the disk,check the other contacts too.

Well if this damn starter would work,i would just have to get some front tires and tune the motor in.Im gonna take it back apart and do all i can to it and if no luck,i'll get a new one.So hopefully it will be running this weekend.

ok,i took the starter back apart and sanded the contact points a little and basically cleaned it up,now the POS is acting like i have it wired up wrong,when i try to put the positive cable on the battery,it sparks and is causing the battery to boil,plus i dont have any warning lights working now or my fans or headlights.It has killed everything.If it wasn't for Dakota and larry id burn it to the ground.Does anybody have any ideas before i lose control.

does it have a bad seleniod you reckon,sounds like it definitly has a dead ground somewhere.hope it didnt fry everything,but sell me that motor before you burn it,id hate to see that go up in flames.i know thwm high torque starters aint cheap but do you have a stock one to use just til you can get another one.chad

I dont know what i done but it is working now.I probably over reacted a bit but damn this buggy was half way complete and it has kicked my ass finishing it up and it has been mostly parts that have given me the most trouble. I plan on being at D&K next weekend so everybody wish me luck.

lol,hope it all works good for ya,goodluck.chad
