I don't run synthetic on the race engines as you never know how long they'll take to break in - much longer than with regular oil. I also run normal oil on the turbo Fiero, but then I use a reservoir of cool oil that feeds through the turbo for about 5 mins. after shut off, which pretty much eliminates ashing in the turbo. I change every 3000 anyway on that engine so synthetic probably wouldn't add much advantage.

The last 1/24th I saw had terible fit and finish. Nothing a few hours couldn't fix. I chose not to take it home for it's poor quality. I find th e1/18 pretty decent.

Maybe if they hadn't stopped production when they did, the 2010 might have played with such options. As it is, we are just unlucky that they didn't steal the mirrors from another model that...

Do they do a dual pod of the same style? Quote: Originally Posted by Spedee Steering Column Gauge Pod link is on my web page. Link in my signature.
