Hey JP,
She has mandated a "zero windshield cutoff" policy, but other than that, the mods are free for my choosing. It's amazing, but there is plenty to come off the car quickly and with slight effort that will yield some nice weight loss. Bill P. |

Wow, what a beautiful car, (as well as Doris). Just my style - simple and functional. I'd like to get my fiancee tracking one day. She just got a Miata and seems interested. If you get around to selling that car oh, say, 10 years from now, let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Keep up posted on the updates. The rear valence looks AWESOME! |

Well it looks like the cool shirt is going to be handy for the CA racing. Some things you might want to do to help the car and the driver:
- Raise the rear of the Targa top about 1 1/2 inches with some aluminum spacers, through bolts into riv-nuts that are into the roll bar sheet metal. This will allow more air inside the car, break the vacuum behind the read window and allow additional air for the air cooled engine. - Remove the stock windshield wiper mechanism, it weighs a ton and if you have to have one, get a small one from a boat supply company such as West Marine. Saves weight and is good to well over 100MPH. - Get a memory type of tach such as an Autometer recall so she can see how tight the engine is winding. - I don't remember seeing a shift light, if none is present, I'd suggest one as watching a tach can be distracting. - Tilt the gas pedal over to the left with a spacer under the right side hold down bolt, makes it much easier to go from gas to brake. - Install a bis ass'd dead pedal so she can stomp down with the left foot when stomping down with the right, makes the driver happier! Great looking car! Makes me surely miss mine. |

Yeah I can see a ton of weight that can come off but honestly I'd keep it like it is. It's a very pretty car and has enough power to overcome the weight of pretty chrome bumpers and other metal bits. I'd focus more on suspension and tire development. |

Beautiful car and that she's perfect in it. If you don't already, I'd take those euro lenses off for track days. Expensive lesson learned before I discovered that. They don't like tire walls, even gentle ones!
I'm running the same torsion bars and sway bar in the front as you are and I like the combination, but I'm agreeing with the splitter addition along with a rear wing if it's allowed in your class. Transforms the car. Shiny side up! |
