So none of the other places were genius enough to realize you just need a few boards to get the car up onto the rack? Jeez!!

Like was mentioned in the alignment thread, a lot of places just don't see the hassle being worth it. Plus they don't want to be responsible if they rip your front bumper off, lol

Pretty much. Lol. I kept telling colton that when I was getting my car aligned.

LOL...

At least you are reasonable about it. Some idiots pull the springs out entirely and just drive on the bumpstops.

I might raise it up a tad after I take it to carlisle. As of right now the car is manageable, but my downpipe has very little clearance from the ground.

but funny that you raise that point, makes me think of this video

here is a cool pic from when I was replacing my broken header/headlight panel.


Also, if anyone is interested, here is a write up on how to recover corbeau CR1 seats yourself. I can copy the stuff over here in a thread if anyone is interested, or just click the link.

Car is pretty much ready for Carlisle, just need washed, clayed, and waxed. Has a couple minor things that still need fixed but nothing big and they probably won't be fixed before carlisle next week.

My buddy in the stickered up Mach 1 won the Autocross portion. How many were entered?

[SlowSix]

I did not see a stickered mach at autocross. That pic was the Sunday autocross, not the real street competition which was Friday. There were 10 cars in that. I'm guessing your buddy may have been in that.

There were two heats of autocross on Sunday, the first one that I was in had 26 cars.

[Mark Aubele]

He was in both, Friday and Sunday. Black supercharged car.

He must of been in the second heat Sunday. I don't remember there being a mach 1.

He said he ran in the first. Steve Lewis.

[Monkeygrits]

I think this is who Mark is talking about. I don't know him personally but I see his car a good bit over on the Mach 1 registry. I also saw it at Carlisle. I took this pic from the registrys 2015 Carlisle thread. Next year we are planning on going up all weekend so we don't miss any of this cool stuff. uploadfromtaptalk1434402076592.jpg

[Mark Aubele]

Yeah that's him. He hillclimbs the car have been racing with him for years.

[SlowSix]

now that I see the car I do remember seeing it at carlisle. Don't remember seeing it in the same heat as me though.
The AM drift car was in my heat though, lol

[cwh19]

Eric, we were the second heat.

[05mineralgt]

Yeah, I remember seeing his car, no idea what it ran though

[SlowSix]

Well, small update.


Had a bit of damage from doing autocross with my car being so low. Rubbed a hole in my fender liner.



I've since raised the car a couple coils.


random BIG MEAT picture. 315s ftw.



So if anyone read my thread about the fuel pump failure -
This was lodged in my fuel line after the car was broken and had to be pushed into my garage




stupid broken racecar



I since switched to a Deatsch Werks 340 LPH pump, no issues so far. Forgot to get some pics before I put it in.


Thanks to Rodeheaver's Hot Rod and George C, for staying late and re-working my exhaust to fit through my tube K. Might kill my power a bit but if I'm really going for the gold I can unhook it up higher and run the open down pipe. Turned out pretty bad ass.
This is when we were trying to figure out what the hell to do with the piping. It would have been easier to ditch the front sway bar, but I like turns and stuff.



this is how it ended up once finished. I'm gonna heat wrap it some time when I get a chance.



band clamp at the top.



comes down over here.



U turn around, with a v-band.



through my tube K



coming out of the k member, under the starter. Another band clamp there.



and then runs back to the rest of my exhaust.





also, finally had my oil leak fixed. Crew at Rodeheaver's dropped the pan, welded a bung on it, and re-did the gasket. Pan is now dry. I think both my tap for the oil return, and the oil pan gasket were leaking.
Bad pic but you can kind of see the new bung.

[SlowSix]

Small update. I haven't done a whole lot with the car besides drive it, but a few minor things.

high temp paint and heat wrapped my downpipe

changed out my front coilover springs from a 12x200# to a 10"x275# spring



and got me some rear coilovers as well. Maximum motorspots, bilstein HD shocks, 9"x225# springs
