I'll put the engine back in on Sat.

You? I'll probably be the one puttin' the engine back in while you tend to my muffler.

Bet it'll need the tranny bolted to it first. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) Where's my socket set? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I've been buning the midnight oil and should have the engine in tomorrow night.

Paul,
I'd think that with that car you could weigh it with a damn fish scale!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Good one, Jake...

Next week I'll start a "Guess how much it weighs" thread.

Sure, no problem; I'll bring the gas. Premium OK?

Man, you've got that stinger, right? You must have some awfully understanding neighbors!

If someone would come up with a way to fab an adapter for some Wilwood Superlights, I'l be 15 pounds lighter. Hint, Hint, Hint...

Paul is correct. What I meant by sold out was that they are no longer accepting club race entrants. There is still plenty of room for spectators.

Point #1- At this point why don't you just get some heavy duty bathroom scales and weigh it at each corner.

Point #2- Seeing that deflection is directly related to load, and seeing that your load (weight of the car) is significantly reduced, why do you need reinforced trailing arms?

If I could change over to stock trailing arms I would. But the reinforced ones are left over from my heavy stock road race days.

Anyone want to trade me for some stock ones? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I'd make the swap, but right now I don't have time to do it. If your not in a rush, maybe in March or April???

I'm trying to get a dozen mods to the car done before my next event at Sebring end of this month.

Not a problem at all, I can wait. Mine have poly bushings.
I'll PM you.
