Kieth, that was a great read. Thanks. Sounds like you had a ball

More importantly, would they admit to it

As my 5 year old puts it, It needs an upside down "i" And it's supposed to be "The Best Sportscar EVA!"

congrats mang

The regulars won't have much trouble with Frankn7 in autox. Local stores here don't have the Nov issue yet :banghead:

heh, your tax dollars at work

I'm out this weekend should be beautiful. Are you gonna make it to the autox on the 13th?

That's awesome

#7 EMOD has joined the party. I have decided to run my worn out Nitto 555's rather than buy the RA-1s. I'm hoping over the winter the R888's will become available for my fronts (rears are already out). So, if there is any rain, i'll have to sit it out.

Tom, your message says Oct 11, but it's Oct 13

that was fun to watch

Jon W's car is in the back row, all aluminum. I'm the WIDE body in front of him. From what I remember the rest of the back row was comprised of people who got caught in rain on their way to the shoot.

That's the way to make your first post :thumbs:

Don, it looks great either way. Thanks for sending the material in!

I paid 400 for a pair of WIDE rear fenders... so, 400 for 2 fenders. These are big enough to cover 305 18" tires + 2" gap between the tire and body.

can you just run autox with no fenders? mine don't take much time to take off.

My friend Sam, is in trouble again. This time for forgetting his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds... AND IT BETTER BE THERE!! ' The next morning Sam got up and left the house very early. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a gift-wrapped box in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe, went out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Sam has been missing since last Monday. Please pray for him

I switched to rod ends all the way around, and really didn't notice any downside. Theoredically, you'll get more noise/vibration to the chassis. Then again, I've seen people to a mod, and rave about the drastic difference it made. I do the same mod, and can hardly feel anything, so I'm not a good judge of that stuff.

certainly alot better than mine... we're at 499 now :thumbs:

I tried it, and went with new uprights, Aarms, rear axle and fenders I do have a ton more traction to show for the effort though... whereas before, I could blow away RA1s in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th by simply rolling on the throttle, I can now only get it spinning in 2nd when the car hits the power band (ofcourse I can still easily get it loose on shifts). Part of that is due to more traction, other is due to going to 3.42 from 4.10 rear. Having less traction IS more fun though. As for your problems, for the rear fender, if you think shaving the fender a little will solve the problem (doesn't sound like it), you can get really good results with a pneumatic sanding disc. Otherwise, I had custom fenders built for mine for $400. I don't know enough about your front headlight bracket, but that sounds like something that'd be easy to fix.

Tom, do you have any kind of data collection capability right now?

A fellow was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first golfer said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the two-some. They were even after the first two holes. The second guy said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?" The first fellow said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the terms. The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with ease. As they were walking off number eighteen, and while counting his $80.00, the second guy confessed that he was the pro at a neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers. The first fellow revealed that he was the Parish Priest. The pro got all flustered and apologetic offering to return the money. The Priest said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your winnings." The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation. And, if you want to bring your mother and father along, I'll marry them."
