cv129's slow build

cv129 · 11-17-2013, 10:43 PM

Last, car on the scale

Corner balancing. Car itself - no weight reduction, 150lbs driver, almost full gas tank (or at least 3/4, forgot to record the gas level when I took delievery). Total weight 3541lbs.

I do not have adjustable end links. I've read some arguments on whether a true corner-balancing can be done with sways but w/o adjustable end links. It's not ideal, but I can accept this.

That's it guys, the only other post is my driving impression with this setup, I'll do that tomorrow.

ZSpeed aluminum undershroud is finally here!

Stock undershroud was getting beat up. Homemade fix until the new undershroud arrived. The middle three clips wouldn't hold any more. Sealed off all holes to prevent flapping noise from bad air flow.

One bad thing about the stock plastic shield is its elasticity. When heated up (engine heat, Texas summer), and the middle three clips not holding any more, the shield will sag with the middle section hanging quite low. You can see my home made fix was taking a beating.

Also added 13mm spacers and ARP extended studs. Studs were trimmed back to length, I wanted to retain the stock look and the stock lug nuts.

Front tires are 265/35/19. Rear tires are 285/35/19. Stock alignment.

Nice. You need to do my fix. PM me your address, and I ship you a couple of the nuts, when I get home next week.

Fix for the rattling front under tray.

Did you get these installed yet?

You'll like the Racing Brake rotors. If you look at the rotor rings. You will see a dimple where they checked the hardness on them.
