So this weekend did not turn out well for one of our members Shane (JetsetSurfShop). We ran his awesome car at the 14 Hours of Sebring and unfortunately a driver suffered and off which bent the front of the car in pretty bad. In my opinion, the simplest, most cost effective fix is to replace the front clip with that of another car. Luckily there are several options nearby.
I know that Shane has not thought that far ahead yet and I'm sure he is still very upset about this weekend. But though I didn't drive the car, he's a good friend of mine, and I'd like to help him get it back on the road. The question is, when a clip is changed on a car, is this the one and only time it is then acceptable to cut out the old VIN and swap it to remain with the chassis? Or is the acceptable practice to retain the vin stamped fender with the new front clip on the old chassis? Attached thumbnail(s) |

What is the black goo dripping down from the trans mount? Looks like the trans mount got a little hot from the exhaust.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Might be part of why it broke ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Could be, I've run those WEVO bushing for years. They never were affected by the exhaust before. Guess I need to build a heat shield and wrap the header. Found those cups for the trans mounts. I think I tried to install them before and they didn't fit with the WEVO mounts. Maybe I remember this wrong, its been a while. |
