Nice! Did you just cut a flat sheet yourself, or is someone supplying pre-cut rear windows for our cars? It doesn't seem like there's any real curve in it.

Also, another random question: anyone tried running our cars without power steering? I've been reading about doing this to (other models of) track cars, seems like it's a nice way to shave more weight and complexity, and it's only annoying at parking-lot speeds. The basic idea being to remove the PS pump and reservoir (and electronics and cooler and tubing, etc), and just loop the fluid lines down at the steering gear box (filled with... grease instead of PS fluid?). The pulley system would then be down to just crank + alternator, not even sure how you'd route the belt at that point.

It's a flat sheet from Home Depot. Being the rear its no big deal IMO. The front I will order custom for sure.

The power steering mod I'd keep. Even at high speed its more responsive.

None. Truly passioned tracking with no spec. I do track days for the love and personal lap times. No need to take it to the next level in a series. But I still incorporate safety.

threeseventy 12-18-2013 09:28 PM

I see.. where are those times posted?

Kingbaby 12-18-2013 09:34 PM
