I did. The original rack blew a seal for some reason while at the Fall Fort Worth GG event, and I was leaking fluid all over the place. So I replaced that with a remanufactured unit from Pep Boys. For some reason, that rack never 'felt' right to me. Sloppy, a bit too soft. So I started hunting around for different options and ended up with AGR. I ordered one of their 'stock replacement' units from Summit. They can do all sorts of customizations, with perhaps the most interesting being the internal spring that affects the feel of the rack.

I've been happy with this one. No leaks, no slop in the feel, all around works well. The original one was fine also, just sprung a leak. :\

Looking bitchin! You guys are hustling on this thing. The totality of my progress over the last month has been turning it around in the garage so I can stare at the back end instead of the front end for a while...

Those numbers are a pleasant surprise.

Of course Rob refuses to believe them. Even though they are from his scales. :computer:

Funny Dave, my Mustang was within 50lbs. of that, when in a similar state. Car ended up at 3160lbs. At least that is what it was before I got crazy and started installing creature comforts like side glass, wipers etc. Figure you'll end close to the same, liquids are heavy.LOL

I would be STOKED if we came in somewhere around your 3160. Although this thing does take darn near 100 lbs of oil. :ohsnap:
