Hey Anthony. The sound system sounds really good. We used nothing but Alpine and it seems to work really well. I'm not sure what gaskets they used in the mirrors, but I do know they had to be shimmed a bit.
Thanks, I'll try again when the time comes...maybe they can be used after all!!
wow! first time i see this car and damn!!! ...are you goin to the speed merchant g2g next weekend ?
I kind of doubt it right now. I'm having it torn down to look for the balancing problem. If it's the motor I'm having it rebuilt the way I want it with a supercharger in mind. Unless it's a flywheel problem, it will be down for at least a few weeks. If it's only the flywheel, then I should make it.
well hopefully is just the flywheel then hehe ....im looking foward to seeing it .
Yeah me too. Id like more power so I might get creative.
On another note I took the wife and the car to Santa Cruz this weekend driving over 17 and on to 101. It was perfect. The car other then the small vibration was great. It handled much better then I thought, I need some minor suspension adjustments but other then that it was a blast.
Funny thing happened on the way to the shop this morning. The left front shock tower came apart and the car hit the ground right down the street from Campbell Auto. I was bringing it in to figure out the vibration issues, when the left front tire started rubbing, then collapsed into the ground. No damage, but I think we are going to look at aftermarket coilovers for this thing. I cannot trust anything fatman has right now. The top of the coilover looks like it came apart as it only has about 5 turns of the thread and for some reason it came off. Bad design.
oh man that sucks ....so no damage to the car then ? do you mind posting some pics ? thanks
I didn't take pics at the side of the road, no camera. Right now they are calling Koni and bilstein to see if they have or will make a custom coilover to fit this setup. This will actually be an improvement over what came with it anyways so this is for the better.
Man what a great looking car! This is the first time I have seen it and just spent over an hour reading through your post. I'm sorry to hear about the wheel and now the shock. Keep up the great work.
