dang... your car is going to be a true track car, huh?

SPOHN

That's right. Still trying to keep some streetablitiy to it though. Maybe one day full out track. It's hard to imagine not being able to street your car just out of the blue if you wanted to.

Awesome. I've seen guys at these competitions pull up in small inclosed trailors for this. Talk about serious.

Not sure over all. I'd hate to even guess. My car really needs to be cornered balanced again. Then I could find out. Seats are about 35-40lbs, spare tire 35lbs, interior pieces, Cats are gone (running test pipes), windshield reservoir, and more little things. So it's really hard to say in the end. But the cage is going to add so not sure till later.
No it won't be. All welded in. Then I still have to paint it.

I went to give her a proper bucket wash this afternoon because it's in the upper 60's and really nice. Wouldn't you know as I was rinsing her off and unfurling the hose to get more length, I look back towards the house and see a large plume of water where last i checked, there wasn't one!

I walked over to where the plume of water is spouting and realize that the dad-blessed spigot had snapped off! I'm all like oHHhhh Sh!t! It's a good thing we have a shutoff valve just inside the garage, so acting quickly I kill the water.

Unfortunately, this is not something i have the skill set to repair so I'm sitting out in my garage waiting for the plumber dude to show up, which is going to cost at minimum $125!

mr.happy- doh! that sucks. hope you get that fixed soon and bill isn't too big.

my water spigot is inside the garage so i have this hose winder reel thingie next to it. which means even if i yanked real hard the hose reel would take the blunt and not the spigot. not sure how your hose is setup, but something that might help in the future?

SPOHN

Is that a trash can? I love that!

Man my hose is just old school. You just coil it up and hang it on the hose caddy that's affixed to the side of the garage. You gotta remember, I haven't quite reached baller status like you have my friend!

those reels aren't that expensive. im not a huge fan of the auto-wind or the electric wind types. mine is the good ol' hand crank type using a high capacity kink free rubber hose (griot's sells the hose).

check these reels out.
