Initial reaction is a definite improvement to initial turn in and response, its going to be a month or more until my first event of the year so i wont have any real race feedback til then

As always I like the progress of your car. Do you know with this new class will you be allowed intercooler upgrades ?

 

[Sprayed150]

nope, still no modification allowed to the IC, i keep sending letters, they keep saying no

 

[Plainrt]

Maybe I'll send also. Good old scca lol

 

[Sprayed150]

did my radiator install today

yes, i had forgotten the fan guard, taking this picture reminded me and i installed it before putting the nose back on

Glad I found the instructions to pull it out from the bottom cause that does not look fun

I went mountune for the whole reason of not doing the nose pull and install it from underneath

mishi is too big to install like oem from what i understand, the Mountune can go in and out like oem as its smaller

 

[Sprayed150]

i still havent decked the trailer, im just lazy

 

[Sprayed150]

few from this weekend, managed to kill a tire too

Oh man, the more pics I see like this, the more I think a big front bar would help overall grip and control with ours cars (at the cost of more understeer over the limit). That passenger front must be close to bottomed out.

 

[Plainrt]

Love that last pic.

Love that last pic.

+1!

I REALLY must get a REAL, 1"+ lowered suspension under my car!!

 

[Sprayed150]

lol

my issue is the car sits a bit lower than i want, but all the springs that sit higher are too soft, ground control seems to be getting close for a coilover conversion, we are working out the top hat choice

Yeah, I am leaning towards a GC setup on either Koni Sports, or Bilstein B8s myself.

Given where I live, and that this car is used year 'round as my ONLY vehicle, I wish that there were a permanent coating I could put over the WHOLE assembly to stave off the inevitable salt corrosion/pitting which will happen (and possibly even prevent the adjuster threads from being able to move).

 

[Sprayed150]

im thinking if i get something from them, use a 225lb spring in all 4 corners as the current swifts are 212lbs, and bring the car up half in front and 2/3in rear


im still trying to figure out tires so i can at least make it out to the pro events. my co driver cant buy a full set of tires anymore, and im changing jobs so replacing the destroyed nexens is getting tricky

anyone want to buy a solid antminer s7?

 

[Sprayed150]

So, registered for the Ft meyers pro, going to reg for the dixie champ tour next week. got my tire situation figured out, going to toss some indys on the black wheels, and some 205/50/15 rivals on the TD wheels for now

also, tire trailer is coming together

I am thinking of going with GC also. i have used them in the past on other cars and they where good. I wonder if GC would do a combo like they did for the honda guys.
Anyway, i am planing on staying on 17 with a 45 series (daily driver, bad road btw, not a autox or track setup) but i cant lower it alot with that profile, also i can lower it (with a diferent wheel/tire, jumm 15;s lol) and change springs if i ever want to auto x or track it
