Project "Payback"

[Vegas69]

It's their 600 racing fluid. http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/290-6209/10002/-1

I have a lokar throttle arm and sparco pedals. I'm not sure I can make it work either at this point. The lokar arm does move the pedal over closer to the brake pedal.

Hey Todd, you have the Lokar pedal too? I messed with the splines for days to get the height right but it wasn't coming out right, so finally just added ~5/8" thick worth of plastic sheets underneath the pedal pad. The spacing between pedals isn't so bad, it's the height offset.



Nice rubber!

My thought is to get the brakes bleed back out so the pedal is normal and figure out the right height under max effort braking. Then I'll add a throttle arm stop to keep the stress off the throttle cable. I'm sure it's going to be tricky and doubt I get to it before buttonwillow. I'd rather have Dave's set up!

'Liberal Ronnie...,' Gigg-ady!

So glad you finally came over to the aluminum darkside. Big Torque + fast R's = Title Contender! Also, +1 for the flywheel balance. I made the mistake of not doing it one time. Never again...

I remeasured heights and wrote them down this time and these will be from floor to fender lip:

Passenger side front 22 1/2"
Passenger side rear 22 7/8"
Driver side front 22 3/4"
Driver side rear 23 1/2" Due to Fays 2 Watts link plate sandwiched under leaf spring/shock plate.

Do you have any shock travel left?

[Track Junky]

Are you kidding??? With all that flex in my stock subframe.........I got tons

Actually, measurable travel up front is barely 3" and rear is probably a bit above 4".

I can gain travel if I relocate front sway bar above subframe like on the Penske/Donahue '69 but it hasn't been an issue yet with the 700 lb springs.

Bringing the hub out 2" with the spacer for the vette wheels may cause some issues due to increased leverage but I'm going to bring my Torque Thrusts out to Buttonwillow just in case.

Finally some pics of T Junkies car. I've been looking and could never find a thread about it. Looks great, More info please!! Sorry for the high jacking of your thread. Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

What fluid were you using before? This reminds me to upgrade that stuff.

Absolutely. People keep commenting on my track vids to use heel/toe... I welcome them to come try in my car. My height difference is so far off it's not funny.

Well yes you could cheat and join the really really dark side..... Todd, I am your father....

Sorry for the hi-jack Todd.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll throw a little something together when I get a little more time.
