Default Racing Season #3 prep / mods

Last year several issues poped up.

1. The clutch had intermittant problems. Solution: I'm installing a 7/8" bore Tilton master cylinder and an adjustable clutch pedal stop.



2. With the R compound tires I would get oil pressure fluctuation in long corners. Solution: Accusump accumulator and oil cooler install. I used some angle iron I had laying around, so she looks like a piece of farm equipment. LOL some time in the future I'll make something nicer, but for now function over form.

If you look close at the brackets I welded to the sub-frame you can see I incorporated tie-down / tow-hooks.



3. My front street tires, sucked!! ( major push on an auto-x ) Solution: I sent out the front rims and had them widened to 10" and mounted 275 BFG KDW's.
