I talked to you briefly about the color in between rounds, love it! I think your car and your attitude are what these events are all about.

If you haven't already, you should post a picture and a lil back ground on what's been done, whatever it is it clearly works! Subtle lil car with mufflers hangin out the back haulin ass!
Nice work!

Hello Dan,

Yes. I was having fun, and thanking my lucky stars that the event was just a little more than an hour from home at a great track with great weather. I really hope the event returns to Laguna Seca next year.

The car is pretty basic. Here it goes:

Suspension: Global West Springs front coils & rear leafs, Koni replacement shocks. 1" Addco front AR bar & 3/4" rear bar modified to reduce stiffness. The geometry is stock (I tried the Gulstrand, & it didn't work for me). 16:1 manual quick steering box.

Tires: 255/40-17 BF Goodrich Rival's.

Brakes: C4 Corvette 12" front & '96 Z28 Camaro rears. '77 Malibu master cylinder. Summit proportioning valve. Need 12" to fit with the stock rally wheels for normal use.

Motor: 1st gen Iron block 350 with a 400 crank. Comp 274 cam, AFR 180's, Edelbrock Qjet RPM manifold, Summit 750 carb, Custom modified Hedman headers.

Transmission: TK500. It cruises down the freeway at 1900rpm: ) 3.42:1 gear out back.

Hello Rob,

Yes they are. Here's what was put on:

(2) 2 1/2" Walker Super Turbo mufflers 17733's
(2) Walker hangers WLK-35103

Ordered from Summit.

36" of 1.5" angle iron for connecting to the bumper. There was a little sawing & drilling, but it was pretty easy.

You can hear it at the 12:00 point on this video:

I luckily got on camera during a Big Muscle Episode. I did the test day Mary Pozzi recommended with HOD.
