Looks a lot better without Okkerse and teeth all over the car! Thanks for the comments Emiel.

Here is link to full res. Let me know if there are any sizing issues with it.

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Was able to get some work done over the weekend.

Got the Ohlins out of the car. Will freshen them up for 2010.

Image

Dropped the rear subframe and noticed a cracked RR upright, and bent RR upper control arm which was most likely due to the hit the car received at Watkins Glen in our last race.

Beadblasted the front uprights. Came out nice and clean.

Image

Ordered a Tilton aluminum 2 pedal, 3 master cylinder pedal box today. Was looking at an AP 3 pedal box, however it was nearly $4k. Considering this Tilton was just under $200, we will see how it is. Will be removing the power assisted factory brake system.

Image

That's all for now. Hopefully have some more updates soon! Have a great New Year!

Nice update, love the Öhlins! Did you notice the beaten subframe while racing?

Any upgrades on the engine or do you have to leave it like it is at this moment due to the regulations? Still with the KKK right?

Didn't notice too much considering I set my fastest laps with the upright like that. Seemed a little loose in the rear on left turns, but that could have been many things.

Engine is going to stay as is. Our class basically runs on a modified weight:hp ratio, and we are right on the limit. There is a lot of competition within our class, hence why we want to stay there!

Now to repair the Tractive. :shock:
