That weight isn't bad at all. Without all of my stupid little carbon fiber parts, I think my car would weigh more. I find that a little scary actually...

look how dirty those front wheels are! your gonna loose like 25 point at your next car show if you dont get those cleaned up!

That will be around the same day I let my old lady carry my balls around in her purse. (We all know that guy) Never gonna happen!

Looks good Todd. Good luck at the events.

Maybe I'll take it down to the super run after the scca and buttonwillow event WITHOUT cleaning it.

Just put a stupid sub box made out of lead in the trunk and you can do it too...

I'm at the end of a very long road..... Up next is likely the back shocks. I have single adjustable varishocks and feel they aren't giving me quite the rebound I need on the street of track.

Had a fun day Sunday. Car felt great and the new tires definitely stepped up the grip level, especially the side bite out back. I was able to set my rear shocks near the middle ground again. The course was a finesse design with no place to put down much power. I was only .5 off the CSP club champ on A6's and .9 off the ST champ that wins PAX all the time. Once again, the fastest car that DROVE to the track.

We had a huge storm blow in at the end of the day. Car got thrashed on the way home.
