Sounds like a lot of fun! Good to hear you got some track time with the car and are out enjoying it!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Man this car just looks right... love it. And congrats on getting your feet wet... get ready to get better, faster, spend more $, and bla bla bla.. :lol:

Lemme guess... is your rear end a Currie? Lots of them been whining like heck on a lot of newer builds lately....

Ironically no, it's a strange center section :(

Yep about 600 miles on it

Great looking car and congrats on getting out on the road courses. That Rear end sounds like it has improper back lash and or the pinion depth is wrong

Way ahead of you. ;)

Should have them shipped out tomorrow.... *crosses fingers* :)

Hey Max, where did you put your dakota digital fan controller? just got my autorad system in and wanted to know where people where putting it. Didnt know if it needs to be installed in the car or close to the fans.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Well, it was RSE time at the Car Craft summer Nationals in St. Paul, MN. I was really psyched up for it. The finally made the track bigger, but still extremely tight and my car doesn't have the turn radius for it, which totally sucked my times right out the window.

I think I ended up 4th after everything was said and done of a field of 10-12 I believe. Jimi's AMX and the Crusher were just too much for either myself or my friend Nate to over come. Both of them were miles ahead of us on the AutoX and the Stop Box. Still, I had a lot of fun and naturally, there's never enough seat time. Btw the end I had whittled my AutoX time down to be very competitive but it didn't amount to any winning times.

I'll be back at it for sure soon, for now though the car performed well, it just needs a better pilot LOL

Here's a video of my car a friend of mine took... notice how short the course is? It's a lot worse to navigate, trust me, it was TIGHT.

So I think the next step is to take it to some more AutoX's and possibly step up shocks to something much more adjustable, these single adjustables were just a dog the entire weekend, I couldn't fiddle with squat.
