Curious on Details


GBOLT

Recommended Posts

Just curious, what is the one small detail on your car that most people will never notice, but makes you smile everytime you see it? So far I have to say the fittings I just made for the turn signal wire looms are mine. Simple, clean, finished the look, and I made them. Makes me smile everytime I walk by in the garage, turned out just like I wanted.

Very nice! I need to upgrade my wire covers which are silver colored. slitted plastic conduit .. How and where did you get the parts?

 

My favorite detail is the momentary left/ momentary right/ center off toggle which activates the self-cancelling turn signal circuit ..

Have to agree. Very nice and cleaning looking.

 

I would have to say the plaque that sits out for everyone to see that was made by a friend (Joseph D. Garrison,M.Ed.,LPC) for letting him drive my 7. Just makes me smille when I think about the smile on Joe's face during and after the drive.

My second reply and to answer Glenn's question. I have made many mods to my Stalker. This was the third or fourth Stalker to be completed and running. It is chassis #10.

 

Each up-grade and mod generally has worked out well.

 

Taking the chance on fitting up the Caterham clams was a gamble and I would say it has worked out beyond my expectations.

 

Here is a shot taken by Larry Metz at this last weekends test and tune at the Indy Region test and tune. My son, Christian, has been co-driving with me since last June. That has even made auto-x even more fun for me. This is Christian taking a passenger on a spirited lap around the course.

 

The down stroke...Your slicks will not last a whole season with two drivers...The up-stroke...Doing something you love with your kids involved and having double the fun.

That is one of the best front photo shots I have seen of a Stalker.

 

The commentary is also very good and is what sharing is all about.

Jack,

 

I agree on the kids involvement. I smile everytime I think of littleman putting in the engine mount bolts, I don't know how long he will remember it but I'll never forget his smile and pride.

Martin,

I am convinced you have the sharing part figured out as well.

I ordered Lokar's basic Wire Loom Kit, and then machined some adapters out of aluminum. Depending on your setup the stock fittings might work for you. They came as a set and ran about $60. Kinda steep, but it would drive me nuts to look at.
