squarefour Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hey Dion, looking good! How did the car do? I can't remember if you've had it at the track before. The car did fine. I, however, was on the slow side.:ack: But steady improvement over the two days, so I guess that's good. I did have it on the Streets of Willow once, two years ago. I've done a few track days ~5 years ago in the 'vette. I put the Hoosiers on for the second day, when it was aboout 25° with a bit of moisture on the track in the morning. I gently accelerate out of a turn, and, bang, I'm on a Tilt-a-Whirl. Full 360, pointed straight down the track again, never touching dirt. Chuckling nervously, I go on. Eight minutes later, exactly the same thing happens. No longer chuckling, i park it and wait 1.5 hours for the track to dry out. After that, the slicks worked great!

squarefour Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Former vette owner, mind you:) '99 FRC (Z06ish, without the extra power). Once I got done with the 7, I found I was never driving the vette anymore, so i sold it. A buddy has it, and he's having a lot of fun with it in HPDE3 in AZ, so that's cool. another knucklehead!

squarefour Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I assume you use the large red pipe wrench in your picture on the 7??? I'm afraid so. My crescent didn't open quite enough for the UBJ jamb nut. Gert actually brought that red monster with him on the tour (lucky for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert actually brought that red monster with him on the tour (lucky for me). Before somewone questions my sanity....actually I brought that thing with the idea in mind we might need some solid lever to straighten or bend some chassis parts or brackets. But it came handy for the suspension adjustment, anyway. The nut looked a little ugly after the treatment, though Gert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
