Wow, where has the year gone? 5 months since I've updated this thread. Well mainly because I haven't really done much to the car but drive the snot of it :drive: Oh yeah and use all other free time on the "other car".

Been to quite a few events this year and have a few yet to come. We did Midwest Musclecar, Nashville Goodguys, USCA Daytona, USCA Road America, & Motorstate Challenge so far. Still to come is Ohio Musclecar Challenge, USCA at MIS. Not for sure, but maybe USCA Pittsburgh and LS Fest, we'll see.

This evening, I had to move the car to back my truck out. I parked it on some grass that I just cut and for some reason it looked so good I had to take a few pics :flashie: lol.

As far as changes, well I did put a larger front ARB in last week. Also leveled the ride height out a bit by raising the front. Tweaked the coilovers side to side and reset the front and rear sway bar end links. I did add a little more camber too, now at 2 degrees static. Plans are to see how that helps out this weekend at the Ohio Musclecar Challenge at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. Awesome event in the past that Bob Bertleson puts on there.

Initial road driving is very encouraging. The turn-in is way better, it reacts so much faster. Really looking forward to trying it out on course.

I really couldn't be more happier with how the car has turned out and held up to the abuse. It has been on the road now for a year with just under 4,000 miles. Most of those miles were at or near the rev limiter too. I feel very comfortable in it and feel connected with it from a handling standpoint. I think after a few more planned changes to the chassis, I'm ready for more power. After, I don't know how many, laps at Gingerman (open track session a couple of days before the challenge, and the day of the MS Challenge), I just could not get anymore straight speed. Every session it was 118 no matter what. My lap time kept dropping each session, which meant I was making it up everywhere but the straights, which was good. But for the road course, I think more power would be beneficial now. Autox, maybe not necessarily.

Anyway, not to bore anyone with my ramblings, I just felt like I needed to let everyone know that jackstands are overrated, lol :gitrdun:
It's way more fun to be out enjoying these things doing what we built them for.

Heck yeah Aaron! Looks great. I'm not up to 4,000 miles yet this year but I should get to well over 3,000 before I'm done.

Did you change anything on the rear suspension to go with your new front ARB?

Actually, this was to balance the car out more as the car was light on TRS, mainly the front (FLLD). I ran the last event with no rear bar and the car felt much more neutral, so I'm hoping this will allow me to run it now that the front is stiffer. There are some hard changes I need to make in the rear, but that will have to be in the off-season.

Pardon my ignorance but what is an "ARB , TRS and FLLD" ?

You need to read this:https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=42467
Then rear suspension and overall tuning. Lots of good info there from Ron.

ARB=anti roll bar, TRS=total roll stiffness, FLLD=front lateral load distribution.
