What's the best source for replacement rotors and pads?
I had my first mechanical failure with the R yesterday. Had it out on Lightning for a Member Day and both front rotors broke away from the hat!!! I believe they were the original rotors.
My guess is that it was caused by the...

What parts are available for our cars? Belts and hoses are now over 7 years old and should be replaced regardless of mileage. What can we get ?????:shrug:

I couldn't help but notice, as I looked at Dave's cool article in Hemmings Muscle Car, that our R's have a similar blip in both TQ and HP curves on the dyno sheet. Anyone else notice this phenomenon with theirs??? When I get a chance, I'll post a pic of my dyno sheet. In the meantime, what do...
For those who accused me of only trailering my '00 R.......

Perhaps some of you have seen this piece on Ebay. After I saw this guy sell two of them, I contacted him to ask where they came from and how many he could possibly have???? He claimed he had 3. 2 were bare metal and one he had painted? Since then, he has sold at least 2 more? Seems like he...

It was great seeing everyone ! :beer:

My car just started making this noise. Seems to be only when I let the clutch out in first gear. I have about 7500 miles on it now. Put it on the track one time at Summit Point ( Jeff. Circuit ) about 1.5 years ago. Yes, I drove it hard with no cooler !!!!!!!!!
Any ideas? I know the R's...
If you did not get the binder with your '00 R, let me know. I made one last year for a friend of mine. Last weekend at Carlisle, Dave from Boston indicated he needed one too. So, I figure, why make 1 when I can make 4 at quadruple the price!!!! Let me know if you do not have an original and...
I recently got pulled over in my '93 L in Atco, NJ. This black and white pulled out in front of me and was going really slow. When I caught up to him, he pulled over and let me by, after holding me up! Naturally, I squeezed the throttle a little as I went by, not enough to make the truck...
One of our fellow R owners managed to get in touch with the right guy at Borla. They will make-up new side pipes to replace those old scratched/dinged tips. Cost is around $185 for both sides.

The exhaust on my 2000 R seems to be getting worse. It has
been "tin" sounding since I got it, with lots of rattles and vibration as well. Does it get loose over time? Have any suggestions ? I do plan to replace it with the Bassani system soon, but in the mean time, I would like to know if...
Just purchased 2000 R #126 from the original owner.

One has already ended with Reserve not met. Highest bid was
$42,900. Car had only 99 miles on it ! Mint. I can send you the auction if you are interested.
The second is still at auction. Currently at $30,500, reserve set
at $36,500. Seems a little high. Car has lots of mods, some...
If you're looking to save a few bucks, you may be able to get
Mobil 1 at Target !? I usually can find the 10/30, which I use in
my '66 coupe racer, but recently they also had the 15/50. Both
were only $ 3.39 per qt. Not bad ! No, I don't own stock in Target !!!!
I hate to seem cheap...
