    [QUOTE=Martin0660;331285]Which one? LOL, actually I would lean to a SN-95 or New Edge car for this class believe it or not. You are allowed up to a 28-10 slick but have to have stock wheel wells ... much better fit if with the later cars over a fox, plus if you arent running "class legal" you could get even more tire on the car for other racing. That's one of the pluses of this rules package, they race at 3200#'s on a 28-10 (several guys run 26-10) ... That said, it would be tough for me to skip over a 4 eye car ;)

    Oddly enough, buying a "good roller" might not be the best option because you are leaving contingency on the table. As an example, there is $300/$150 for using the Maximum motorsports roll bar ... just making the finals a few times pays for it versus buying a car with a bar in it and loosing that chance ... same thing with suspension, brakes, axles, etc, etc ... To make this work, you sort of have to build within the contingency list otherwise you leave might leave a lot of purse on the table.



    I ment my white car til i read you cant have mini tubs :( it has all wolfe and team z stuff

    Yeah no mini tubs ... They made a guy put back stock wheel wells ;)

    I don't have the list in front of me, but Maximum Motorsports, UPR, and I think Grannacopy are the suspension contingency. I know MM roll bar pays.

    Got the new down pipe and intermediate pipe fit up, welded, down pipe wrapped and ready to go back on the car ....



    I hate exhaust .... I was tempted to just 90 off the turbo straight up the add one of these ...



    Frank talked me out of it ;)

    If that's an original hatch, the car is 85/86 .... see the third brake light peeking through.

    That car also has SVO sail panels.

    We wont be able to prove it with all the changes made this winter ... The plan is to drop the SVO hatch off to get a little attention (scratches and a dent) . When (if?) I switch back we will know.

    Went through 3 heat cycles, roughed in the alignment (camber and toe), and got to go for a little ride :)

    New clutch set up is spectacular.

    Down to a little punch list, tailpipe is hitting something on bumps, need to center the steering wheel, then swap out a set of tail lights and get the other hatch on. At least I can start the break in ;)

    In the sun :)

    Definate show car but you really should buy that flapper and have it chromed. What are those 2 stainless lines for? I can't keep up with all these mods!!

    Exactly Joe, now that I can get a 10 1/2 clutch behind this thing I don't have to clamp load the thing to death with a metalic clutch. Should be easier on everything
