Re: Adjustable irs spring plates

I've also used adjustable spring plates with no issues. I prefer the center torsion adjuster, but that is a lot more fabrication work.

I like the new top, especially the stickers on the underside.

Re: NORRA 1000 2022

Thank you for the kind words, Bud. NORRA is such a great event and to be able to do it in a Manx is the best. We just like to see all the teams do well and we hope more can give it a try.

Re: NORRA 1000 2022

It was a standard Sway-A-Way spring plate. I now have some chromoly plates from Sway-A-Way.

NORRA 1000 2022

A little late, but I figured I would post this here for my ten's of followers. El Gusano has raced quite a few miles and the 2022 NORRA 1000 was the eighth race for the Pioneer Buggy Meyers Manx. Prior to each race the buggy gets good prep and usually updates from things learned in previous races. T...

Re: Corvair Powered Myers Manx

The first post in the Manx Club Gallery explains how to create a gallery and post pictures.

The Rebel Wiring kits seam to work really well.

Pretty sure that the 42 1/4" measurement is correct.

Re: Help to Identify buggy please

$500 for a complete chassis is is a pretty good deal.

The dash does not look like a Manx and I don't think there were any bodies that just had the battery well and not the tire well on the other side.

It's still a good looking body and if the fiberglass isn't too bad, it will make a nice car.

Re: Fuel gauge sender - hood removal

Good looking buggy. Grounding is always an issue on a fiberglass car. It looks like there is a ground wire on the speedo and the fuel sender, but I would make sure they are well grounded.

Re: Sand Tire and Rim Selection

The Desert Tracks work real well with a smaller engine. They give you good floatation and traction without digging in too much.
