Man, you have sooo much information here. I need to reread this a dozen more times.
Thank you. From a guy just starting down the slippery slope. Thank you.

See, I bought a cheap fiesta with an autopower bar, whoosh suspension and thermal catback because my street legal nascar was turningintotoo much work.....

Well my weeks of working late nights and building all new parts was for naught. Worked till 0200 this morning to finish the car for Barber, got the last bit of the alignment done by 0900 and loaded the trailer. Headed out and made it 30 miles down the road before the new truck's water pump failed in spectacular fashion.



Had to rescue my trailer from the side of Highway 431 with my trusty old V10 Ram. She has been a solid truck for 15 years. Unloaded the Fiesta and backed the trailer into the gate and locked it up. Fuck it. I am done for the weekend.

Get back to work on the Duster. Also take that damn LS out you barbarian. Chrysler makes good engine and you have plenty of room in there for all kinds of hemi or V10 powered activities. An R7 would look beautiful in that engine bay.

Anyways, enough whining, back to the Shitbox.






10deg of caster and -3.5deg of camber. It does clear the fender liner.







I had set the car up with 650lb front springs and 700lb rear springs, swapped in the track pads and all I got was a drive back to the house in traffic. How lame. maybe this week I get a clean lap up my test road. Car feels different for sure. I am surprised how well 650lb springs ride on the street. LOL
