So I ran the car yesterday. It did well for its first time out. I spun it out once! but I didnt go off course or hit any cones so it was still a clean run. Its almost too light but after playing with tire pressure I got it to stick a little better. I need to make a front strut brace and start on motor mods to get some power under the hood. I need to do the exaust also! I cant stand it being so quiet. I ran good times but everyone said it was so quiet that it looked slow lol. My cv axle seals in the tranny started to leak on the exaust so I had some smoke under the hood. It was a learning experience and next time it will do better. All in all Im very happy with the car.

The above pics are from yesterday. I had a blast and ran realy good times. Its a little stiff as this track was bumpy. I think Im goint to soften up the suspension and add a couple custom sway bars. Ill post pics of them soon. The car is already on jack stands and the rear is in pieces. The plan is to mount a sway bar on top of my rear beam. I will be at the j/y with a tape tomorow measuring swaybars. Stay tuned!
