Sway bars ordered........ >:]

Which bars did you wind up ordering? Different bars front and rear?

Went ahead and got the Hotchkis set. I'll run the rear full soft to start, maybe find an OEM nismo to change to later.

Hotchkis med setting is best. Remember the cage is going to stiffen things a lot. But I guess with all mods there subjective to owners opinions.

I usually run the Hotchkis at medium rear also, at least with race tires, stiff damper settings and dry track. For a wet setup the soft setting would be ideal.

Well the sway bars are back-ordered 3 weeks. So blah.

And the fabricator is still waiting on the dies for the tube bender to come in...

He does mostly drag racing and some circle track, where apparently the material of choice is 1.5" 4130, so he never had a reason to get 1.75" dies.

So my builder is going to do some stitch welding of this structure:

He's also thinking we'll be leaving the factory cross brace in the car.

I figure it weighs less than 5 pounds and definitely adds some cross-chassis rigidity. It'll be sitting behind the harness bar, so it won't interfere there...

Should be interesting.

Caution, lots of racing classes don't allow stitch welding. Do you know what club and what class you are going to race in?

That's many years away. Not going to worry about that for now.

To clarify what I mean since I'm not on my phone now...

I won't be worrying about club racing or NASA TT/Solo 1 for several years on.

For now, I'll be doing track days and Autocross with BMWCCA/PCA and MAYBE the odd SCCA SOLO II event.

If it becomes an issue in the front where I need to not have the stitch welds, I'll get in there and cut them all.

Little something I'm working on...





The fittings are probably gonna go, just thought I'd throw them on there and see how it looked.

Really dumb question but what is it for?

It's an in-tank surge tank. A first draft design for one, anyway.

Looks like a device for a new Saw movie.
