    Paragon 3000 in CV joint ?

    What's the consensus on using TRC Paragon 3000 in a CV joint ? Seems to be an ideal grease for my VW GTI race car...we have had a CV joint failure and I am putting in new axles, figured I'd upgrade the grease while I am at it and I have many tubes of the Paragon 3000 grease here.

    New Porsche race engine. Checking on suggested oil.

    Wowza !! We raced 944's for 20 years in various series here...alweays used the NA motor though, 2.5 and/or 2.7. The 944 was one of the very best handling cars I've ever raced, very forgiving and predictable...Won a lot of races with my GTS1 NASA 944 2.7 liter. Nice job, I am eager to see how...

    HP-3 Fram or a Baldwin B233 may work ? The shorter the better here.

    Need help with a MANN 719/5 "shorty" equivalent

    This a 1996 VW GTI purpose built race car that has a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder...It was a tight fit but the install is clean and professional. The clearance for the oil filter is extremely tight and we have to remove the radiator to change the filter...There has to be a shorty equivalent to a MANN...

    Need help with a MANN 719/5 "shorty" equivalent

    Hi ! I am trying to find a "shorty" version of the MANN 719/5 oil filter for a VW 2.5. This motor is in a VW race car and we are experiencing clearance issues with the radiator and fan shroud that we need to use. Is there anyone who knows who to "convert" the same filter into a shorter version...

    2.5 VW 5 cylinder in VW GTI race car.

    Wal-Mart Euro M1 with black label. I run Motul 300V 5w40 in all the other race cars, seems like overkill in this motor ?
