Working on changing the master cylinder today and giving Penny a new look for SEMA.. we stole all the Anvil CF parts off the shelf for the Track Rat. lol

We were going to run the sheetmetal spoiler from Jakes, but even though it was said to have shipped it never arrived. Anvil was nice enough to save our bacon and send us over one of their CF units.

We couldn't mod the parts or the car since the old parts needed to go back on and the Anvil parts needed to go onto the Rat, so fitment is what it is, but I will say thier stuff fits REALLY GOOD right out of the box.

Thanks to Larry we also got the right hood struts for the CF hood. We will weigh the whole car when done. I'm hoping for under 3300 with gas.

Looking nice Steve. I really like the look on Penny. You want to get another set just for her.

Andy idea how much weight your saving with all the pieces?

Steve,
Did you purchase some S03's for Penny?
I have been considering these since I can no longer get wheels from Fikse...
Could we see a full pic?
Ps. The car is going to be deadly:yes:

Steve, Penny looks amazing. Good luck at Optima.

Are you going to be selling your wilwoods? I'm in your backyard now....

Putting the shocks on was way more work than I thought it'd be, but the results were worth it. A car just can't function right with insufficient suspension travel, and we've been suffering with that since last year. I was pretty reluctant to even cut or weld on Penny at first! Often an improvement creates other problems that must be dealt with. The front spindles are drop spindles, and position the shocks at a more extended length, so we are nearly out of extension travel. It doesn't seem to be hurting performance, but it's one of those things that just isn't right, and we won't really know if there are "real" gains until we lengthen them.

I love the S03s.. if you go to my fquick page linked at the bottom there are lots of pictures. Good wheels and light.

I will weigh the stuff tomorrow.. I imagine about 60 pounds.. heck the hood is about 30 lbs alone.

I do this stuff for SEMA but I like the all orange look for Penny on a normal basis.. more stealty and less like it's trying to look like a race car.


Wilwoods are going to another project. Hey, now that your down here we will have to meet up at some events.

Yea, gaining the extra compression from the spindles was nice but loosing the extension was unexpected. But, we seem to use compression more than extension (not many jumps). Still, it would be nice to have both. Will give us something to do over the winter.

I would say the car is more capable than it was a year ago and that's what I call "moving in the right direction".. I figure in a few years the car might actually be "done".. :lol:

That would be great. I'm down here Mon-Thur now. What kind of car stuff goes on around here during the week?

Lookin good! Whats under the wrap:unibrow:

my guess is forced induction...
