Some updates...

Re move to Florida, I think we've narrowed down our next house options and unfortunately won't be buying the race track neighborhood! lol I did start an official Florida thread on this site, however, so please join and contribute if you're in that part of the US The Official FLORIDA Thread

Did some internet shopping today... bought the stuff below... I'm excited about the tow hook - will save 1.5 pounds on the nose! lol

1 LAR-78295 Digital Caster Camber Gauge w/Dunlop style adapter $251.15
1 LAR-22589 Longacre Coil-Over Wrench (Billet) $37.50
1 LAR-79500 Longacre Toe Plates (Set) Includes (2) Tapes $57.95
1 RPW-2606 Master Switch Decal $2.00
1 RPW-TIE15ORANGE Tie Wraps - 15" Orange Tie Wraps $8.99
1 RPW-TIE4ORANGE Tie Wraps - 4" Orange Tie Wraps $4.99
1 RPW-TIE8ORANGE Tie Wraps - 8" Orange Tie Wraps $6.99
1 SFQ-TRF Tow Ring Fixed 8.25" long $16.50

I'm also thinking about ditching the OEM winshield for SpeedGlass branded Lexan windshield... thoughts on that? which thickness should I order?

Quote:

SpeedGlass is G.E. LEXAN with a propietary coating that is applied to both sides of the window after it has been molded. This coating provides a very thin outer "sheel" that is virtually as hard as glass. Underneath the coating "shell" is "HO"(High Optics) LEXAN polycarbonate, which is very soft and somewhat flexible.

* SpeedGlass is 50% - 75% lighter than glass (depending on thickness) 1/2" the weight per equal thickness
* SpeedGlass is extremely shatterproof
* SpeedGlass has excellent optical clarity
* SpeedGlass windshields and windows are coated on both sides with a very scratch resistant coating
* SpeedGlass windshields and windows are formed to factory curvature of steel bodies
* SpeedGlass windows are approximately 1" oversized in all directions, bigger than factory glass windows

Other Cool Facts
* Highly scratch and Chemical Resistant
* High resistance to pitting or sand blast effect
* Can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner, no extra polishes or cleaners needed
* Excellent water shedding capabilities

Three different variations to suit almost any budget
* Formed SpeedGlass (Best Seller)
* Flat SpeedGlass
* Flat Lexan (Low Cost Alternative to SpeedGlass)

if its legal for your race class, get rid of all the glass....its heavy and high up in the center of gravity.

Travis, what stops that toe hook/strap from flapping about?

travisjb · 02-14-2011, 05:10 PM

Chris, nothing... suppose you could put a cheap zip tie on it that would break free when emergency tow situation arises

travisjb · 02-14-2011, 05:11 PM

Hey all, quick favor to ask... can someone please measure the height of windshield top to bottom in the middle of windshield? I need to send to speedglass and my car is not with me... THANKS!

Top of glass, but not including upper moulding, and to bottom of glass, but not including lower plastic valance that runs along the glass for cosmetics and wiper penetrations = 29 inches clear glass.
