I put about 2,000 miles on the car this summer. Drove HWY 1 up to the Bay Area and down to LA twice (Venice and Newport Beach). Just last week on my way to work I broke a lower shock mount because the shock was bottoming before the bump stop. I've got a new mount but need to go through and figure out how to get clean travel (probably shorter shocks).
I've also picked up a set of four polished Cobra R 17x9's. They were cheap and I'll be able to get some better tires, although I'm not sure I'm gonna like how they look on the car. Hoping to fit 275 wide rubber all the way around. I haven't mounted them yet and will need to figure out spacing to get them to fit right. I think I'd like them better if they were satin black and just kinda disappeared on the car.
I'm going to Willow Springs Raceway tomorrow to ride along in my friends 68 Camaro. It's an all out track car that he just started racing in VARA. He also races Lemons with some guys so we'll have that car out there too.
I've attached two pictures from the drive north on HWY1 through Big Sur, one picture from driving South on HWY1 across from Neptune's Net in Malibu and the last picture is from working at the Vegas to Reno desert race. I got to ride in this Class 1 race car.
