Going to put her back together. The D Sport Racer will just have to happen later.
Looking for all good ideas on weight savings. |

So how'd it run Randal. When do you get to use it again?. I just finished installing a brake upgrade that saved 9lbs per front wheel over the previous setup. 12.2" AP Racing rotors, lightweight Alloy hats and Wilwood forged 4 piston superlites. When you think about trying to say, catch 18lbs of something thrown at you really fast then you start to see the benefits of reducing as much weight as possible (unsprung too) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Not running yet, but just need to put the transmission back in and the starter, wire and oil her up and should be ready. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Got the Accusump in and oiled up, transmission and starter on and fired her up. Took a little while, but she finally started. I was using year old race fuel, which was suspect. 222 is now off with a new owner. Packed her up today. Great car, so much fun over the 10 years I owned her. |
