I'll admit, HP is addictive. But truly, it's the inherent 'fun' factor of such a car that really shines. HP aside, the pure joy of a unique driving experience will be what causes Dan to continually pick bugs from between his teeth.

Looking great, Z! :cheers: BTW, relieve me of my ignorance; how do you post text in between photos? :banghead:

Yep, gonna be a good thread.

You're only in over your head if you give up . . . . or if someone is shoveling dirt in your face. Since that's not the case, and being that you don't sound like the 'giving up' type, I'd say your good. And that car . . . . it oozes with opportunity and possibilities. :cheers:

I don't suppose that's a Rutan stuffed away in the corner is it?

NVP66S, Also, you may want to have admin move this thread to Member Rides.

There's those wooden cams I've been waiting on! Seriously, going to be a great build thread for all.

Go get yourself a thread pitch gauge and a bolt diameter gauge (see photos below), measure pitch and diameter and then check out these guys for lug nuts at: http://www.ezaccessory.com/ :seeya:

I have red and green markers if you need them. :jester:

GunshipDriver, You're not alone. My Stalker runs 12x1.5mm in the rear and 1/2"x20 up front; both on 4.75 bolt pattern. :jester:

Blindcars, I just posted on your introduction in the 'So, tell us a little about yourselves' thread, and yes, that is the car I was thinking of. How did you come across the car?

Blindcars, Welcome to the forum. :seeya: As for the WCM Ultralight LM, I think that was the only one Brian Anderson ever produced. If it's the one I'm thinking of (please correct me if I'm wrong), I remember seeing it setting in his shop a handful of times along with a V8-powered Lotus 11 replica he was developing at the time.

Per the above quote, you may want to pm Bruce K. He may be able to help. Just a guess. :rofl:

Excellent!!! :cheers:

My tire specs. The rear is .12" taller than the front.

:iagree::iagree: !!!!! . . . . . but you had me at Brooklands:jester: . . . . :cheers:

And there you have it. :svengo:

Never say never. :jester:

GunshipDriver, Below are two posts from forum members from one of your other threads with their recommendations regarding tire wear rating. And . . . :iagree: with both. So, I'll throw my two cents on the table and shoot from the hip. My personal opinion (FWIW) is that once you begin to drive and get used to the car's potential, you are going to want/need/desire/beg for/etc. a softer compound tire that can mirror the car's performance. Again, FWIW, I drive a relatively heavier Stalker with WMC Ultralite fenders. I run Nitto NT-01 17" (9.5" in the rear and 8" up front; tread wear rating of 100) on the street and have had excellent results with grip and wear. I've had the Nitto's on my car for almost two years now and they still look fairly new. Here's a link to a photo of my car that shows the tread pattern on the fronts . . . the rears look just as good. The photo was taken last month (Feb): http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=24944 I'm not trying to talk you out of a 200 tread wear tire (well . . . maybe I am :jester:), it's just that in the long run, I don't think you will be happy with the performance of a substandard tire on a car that has the performance of your Ultralite. Your car is a very performance-oriented and is deserving of a tire that is complimentary. Don't cheat yourself simply because the price seems right. You can purchase excellent high performance tires from Tire Rack for very competitive prices. Do it nice or do it twice. Okay, that's my two cents. :cheers:

Give these guys a call: http://store.fedhillusa.com/

That'll leave a mark on your manhood. :jester:

:dupe: . . . . . Maybe this guy should run for president . . . . . :rofl:

toedrag, Touch base (pm) jbanker (user name on this forum). I think he can help you out with Gallery activation.

toedrag, WELCOME to the group!!!! :cheers: In the world of Storkers, we're practically neighbors. Too bad you could not have made it out Saturday, we had a blast. It'll be great to see another Stalker at Cresson later on. I definitely look forward to following your build. How far are you from DFW? I'll be back in the area in August for recurrent training at Flight Safety Int. Maybe we could get together if the planets align. If you haven't already, be sure and join the Yahoo Stalker Group and start a build file as well in the Stalker V6 Gallery. Toedrag . . . sounds more like a menacing motorsport term. :devil: :seeya:

nick47, s***p is saying the same thing about you right now.
