sorry i don't race with methanol...

you know how much money i would spend if i followed the specks?

i would have to replace my rings every 2 days in the summer
maybe three times a month in winter

gscx · 12-26-2007, 01:59 PM

my rings were the orginals until I rebuilt the motor earlier this year, 6 years old and no real signs of wear.
