well its done - I drove around our neighbor hood and didn't have any rubbing, normally they would run in a turn above 5mph.


fingers crossed the alignment is good - both bars are the same length, so unless the car is tweaked I should be good. It appeared to track well for the 2 seconds I had it on a real road. Either way adjustments are easy now.

all's well that ends well!  Now you need a bigger tire!

[nocooler]

need more power for a bigger tire - just need to make this chassis work again. It's funny the rod ends are quieter than the poly bushings.

I would expect them to be

Took it to the track today - ran mid 11s @ 120 all day and then drove home. Still can't get it to leave like I want to. Still chasing my ass.

Looked like a solid run to me!

Does yours weigh 5000lbs too?

Banging gears is awesome!

The car's consistent. You'll get the suspension dialed in. Bangin' gears all day with the bro...and being at the track. Now that's fun!

Well it was a day - we were supposed to leave at 10am....
Damn ford ate a starter and I had to got tow start it, then we went and got a starter for it and changed it. We got to the track at 1pm and had it pretty much to ourselves.

Stang went 12.8@108. Megasquirt goes on next week.

I made some calls and made some changes to my car, hopefully for the better

Made a "test" hit the other day. Pulled out of the subdivision on to a 2 lane highway that was clear - and let it rip, pulled 2nd and then coasted another drive to the subdivision. The car definitely puts more weight on the rear - and pushes forward rather than just trying to keep the nose up.  We shall see.


Wife was less than impressed..... and it was pretty stupid, but fun.

Found my problem - damn tire pressure gauge.


Car went 11.3@121 all day. low to mid 1.5 60'

Best pass today - yanked the front hard.


Gonna need more power to play with some of the cars. There were some CTSV's running high 10's@135ish. Might have to change the plugs and put the pills to it.
