Okay, Z, I'll through a little jealousy in the pot, also. :jester:

I do like that red interior. :cheers:

Hey, Z, A photo of the wheel faces are on page four of this thread. I haven't weighed them yet, but the wheel/tire combos (both front and rear) are noticeably lighter than the my previous front/rear 15x10 setup. Anyway, they're mounted . . . . . here ya' go.

Stalker, chassis #85 dash. First photo--across the dash, left-to-right; volt meter, water temp, tach, oil press, oil temp, 20psi low press warn light, single turn indicator light (upper), low voltage light (lower), speedo and fuel level. Far left, just below the volt meter (barely visible above the steering column); park/head light switch and dimmer switch for the LED gage backlighting. To the right of the steering column (visible at the top of the shifter ball); red LED shift light. On the pedestal, forward of the gear shift handle, LH side in a vertical column (top-to-bottom); horn button, ignition switch and turn signal switch. On the RH side of the pedestal in a vertical column (top-to-bottom); pusher fan (red toggle), puller fan (red toggle) and low/hi beam headlight toggle. Just below the 'SUPER 7 EMBLEM'; power outlet. Second Photo--track day setup; Traqmate Traqdash mounted atop the steering column. Third photo--my 'almost daily' driver; Falcon 2000 EASy, buncha' Honeywell stuff.

Been a while, but I remember that dash. :seeya:

Obrigado! :cheers:

That doesn't say LOTUS! :jester:

Mike, Thanks. :cheers: The wheels are the result of several months of research on my part as well as collaboration with Roger Kraus Racing, Keizer Wheels, and eventually, Bogart Racing. Nothing against Keizer, but Bogart won out because of Rich Bogart’s above-par willingness to work with me one-on-one in meeting my wheel needs. There wasn't a single time when we talked that he didn't treat me like I was his only customer. After committing to making the move to the larger Avon 16” slicks, Rich began working with me on ways to reduce wheel weight and decrease rotational mass. This twofold goal was met by keeping overall wheel circumference (in areas where practical) as small as possible. We settled on using 15” wheel centers and basically built 15” wheels until you get to the 16” mounting flange. Below is photo that illustrates the result. I haven't weighed the wheels yet, but I believe overall un-sprung weight will very likely end up being reduced by around 20% with respect to the heavier Summit Racing 15" wheels I've been running.

Mike, They're whoppers! :ack: Avon (A11 compound) 10x23.5x16 front (10x16 wheel) and 11x23.5x16 rear (12x16 wheel).

Thanks, Bill.

The Bogart's arrived today.

Thanks! I've been hitting RJ, and I'll give the other links a shot.

I've been beating the bushes to find a 'used' trailer that I like. No dice, yet, but still looking.

Another article that may be of interest; it does mention an R500: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motoring/ultima-gtr-smashes-0-100-0-world-record

Very nice trailer. :iagree: But, your killing me, dawg . . . . . the pressure's on. :svengo: . . . . :cheers:

. . . . . :nopity:

Man's got talent. I'm just happy to get an add-on or a mod to work out in my favor. :jester:

Two fast is nearly fast enough! :jester:

Sorry you're having to endure the DMV nonsense and lack of internal hand-holding. . . . :dupe: . . . :cuss: Stay the course; the squeaky wheel gets the grease. :cheers:

I second your 2 with my 2; that's 4 cents worth, sir.

Never mind the Seven (or Six)! Somebody get this man a bra!

And how crossing the road resulted in poor decision making and an endless barrage of inconsequential jokes . . . . . :svengo:
