Have lost another 28 lbs off the car up front. Main wire harness was removed of all pointless wiring that a racecar doesn't need. Started car back up today. Still running great. Next weekend my buddy will be finishing up full cage but adding more reinforcement. Custom steering column made. Deleting main bulky gauge pod and will be running Tach only. Seat will be mounted to floor as low as possible. Mine was to high. Never liked it. Also he will be performing corner balance and track alignment.

looks good.

did you use lizard skin (rubber stuff)? still haven't done that to mine. i like that it helps cut noise and heat, but not sure about adding the weight in a semi-permanent way.

still owe you pics of the brackets, will try to do that tomorrow sorry

I used something different. But striping some of it this week.

Travis I think your going to like the steering column I'm having made.

At what point is it not street legal or street safe or did you already cross that point?

Looks awesome so far!

SPOHN 12-28-2013 07:31 PM

Already crossed that point. It's all in how much your willing to risk. I've seen plenty if guys drive there racecars to shows. All it would of take is someone lightly bumping you and slamming your head into the side if the roll cage.

cool. look forward to seeing that... did the same on mine for the reasons you said, simplify and get rid of the b-s / weight. just a simple steel rod with splines... rolls through a custom bracket that allows up/down ratcheting

That's how this is going to be.

The steering column's on my list too, but my fabrication skills probably aren't up to task for it, I may have to farm it out to Lucas here in town or something :)

God loves you..what an amazing adventure.

Ordered Spek Tachnometer. 5". Deleting OEM gauge display. It's big bulky and will definitely been in the way of my vision due to mounting seat to the floor. Fastest drivers are the most comfortable ones. Will not be running speedometer or gas gauge. Because?

Have you considered running an mxl, motec, or something similar? I've been kicking around the idea of replacing the gauge cluster with that. Saw it in Kevin Parlett's G and it fit really well.
