Default Fun day at Currie Enterprises...

Very educational, Ray Currie really educated me on different parts and thier benefits.

Thought you guys would like this shot..



The right is a standard ring. The center is a VX style lightened ring and the left is a full tilt race ring that's been lightened, scalloped and REM polished.

The one in the center is fine for a street/track car. The one on the left is pretty much a race deal.

Weights:

standard - 12.6 lbs
light - 10 lbs
race - 7.8 lbs

We also found that a standard nice iron case was 33 lbs while my aluminum case was 13.6 pounds and the cost wasn't much more ($330 vs $445). That's a lot of unsprung weight off the car.

The didn't have smaller than 4.22 lightened gears in stock so a set of 3.90 gears are being sent to get done. For now here's what I have:
