Not great quality, but some action from the 2011 UTCC. At around 42 seconds into the video, you catch a glimpse of John Meyer's Stalker.

Besides the spacer, there are a couple of other things that suggest to me that this A-arm has been removed and possibly repaired: a) The mounting hardware for the lower ball joint on the LH side is reversed in relation to the hardware on the RH side (lock nuts on top of LH A-arm vs. lock nuts on bottom of RH A-arm). While this could simply be an oversight, Brain Anderson was the original builder, and Brian, as methodical as he is, would have most likely assembled the A-arms side-by-side (at the same time), the same way. b) The LH A-arm paint/powder coat has a dull sheen vs. the RH A-arm is reflective (perhaps a clear coat). This difference may be due to shadowing, lighting, etc., but worth a look. 'If' the A-arm/shock mount has been damaged, the best course of action might be to simply replace the A-arm. Loren Edwards (aka, WestTexasS2K) should be able to help you out with a replacement. X

Any chance the weld joints on the shock mounting brackets (tabs) could have fractured and broken at some point in time resulting in a repair that left the tabs welded off-center? There seems to be more of a gap between the mounting tabs on the LH side than on the RH side (notice the spacer used on the LH side and no spacer on the RH side) . . . Just a thought. :rofl:

Bonjo2, You are correct: SR 15x10 along with Avon tires 10.7 x 21.5 x 15 (A11 compound). I picked up the tires from Roger Kraus Racing: http://www.rogerkrausracing.com/ (510) 582-5031 If you call, ask for Roger personally. X

The cover looks great! Getting ready to get one done for my car. Thanks for sharing.

Hopefully . . . any DMV guy or gal reading these forums are true 'car' guys and gals . . . hopefully. :ack:

Might consider Arkansas; no inspections required. X

Just sent you a PM

seafarer, I'll pass your question on to the Stalker forum. X

As for down force, don’t know yet; still ALL THEORY. Doing a HPDE on June 1 at MSR Cresson . . . we’ll see. I’ll keep a keen eye out for small, furry rodents. :ack:

I wish; got family commitments (vacation, etc). Maybe next time around. :willy_nilly:

#85 gets a rear diffuser. http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=22874

Well, let's see, I currently have an LS6. This V12 behemoth should be a shoe-in if I simply stretch the chassis, lengthen the steering shaft, change the spring rates and, and, and . . . :rofl:

I'm going over for the day. Is anyone else planning to attend? X

Frank, Welcome to the forum. I'm a 51 year old guy who lives in a small town in south Arkansas. Most folks around her don't even know what a 7 is; never mind having never seen one.

subtle, All those shiny news parts! Try these guys for a shifter assembly: http://car-part.com/ X

It's good to see Goldie again. I took the car for a short drive one day back when Brian Anderson still owned it. Give the new owner a congrats for me. :cheers:

Wheels and tires are still for sale; taking offers. X

Fine looking ride!
