Well --- there's a few more things being done besides wheels... HAHAHAHAHAHA


The ClubSport wheel has additional lightening done to it - and deletes the center cap...

Spindles/uprights - big Howe ball joints - big race bearings - JRI's with custom valving and reservoirs - composite springs in the rear - Sway bars front and back... bigger brakes... geometry massaging... rod ends...

We're just doing most of this to piss Charley off... Well - that, and because it's fun.

Greg,
your giving up all your secrets.. Charley is quietly
building his without you knowing

Have you put the Jerico in it yet?

His car is "fine"..... besides --- it's a REAL race car where mine is a clone... so If I had his - I wouldn't mess with it either.

It's ALWAYS had a Jerico.


Not giving up any secrets -- because the secrets aren't the parts themselves... although some are - but it's how they're set up!! That's the sauce right there!!!

LOL

Sounds like the recipe for a reliable vintage racer to me.

YUP! It's a little rehab mixed in with the "while we're here".... and as I've said in past posts in this thread -- try to make it a little better than it is... because after driving the Lotus.. you want that kind of braking and turn in etc. We won't get to where the Lotus starts but we can move the needle a bit.

Any reason why your running a 245 on a 9 1/2 inch rim? I would think that might be a little to much stretch of the sidewall. You could have easily put 275's on a 9 1/2 inch rim. Unless the fenders don't allow for that much tire.

The recommended wheel width for the tire size I'm running according to Hoosier is 8 to 9.5"



Section width on the tire is 9.9" AKA "skinny"

I forgot that we're also doing a full floater as long as the rear end is out and being rebuilt with some different parts.
