Got most everything done.
A bit of buffing.
Corner balanced, lowered a tad, new front tires & wheels.

A WAG at the weight from the corner balance is 2028 with 180lbs of balast in
the drivers chair. One of them bathroom scale balancers accurate within ???
, but it is within a pound corner to corner (25% of weight shows near as I can tell). It was pretty damn close to start out with.

If I can get it aligned next week, we'll be off to SCCA autocross Sunday....yee ha!

ready to run...that's a good feeling

Yep, I was there to see it. It is a genuine picture, no photoshop here.

Gotta ask, why did you need to change the front wheels?

his biceps werent up to the task of steering

Yes, that's 1848 w/o ballast for the math challenged.....and Joe I'm eyeballin another 50-60 lbs
of road hugging weight.
The W/T set up is my attempt to get the scrub radius within reasonable bounds.
Less steering effort & hopefully, less push in the tight stuff. The tires aren't the ideal choice,
but there aren't any other choices close to what I think I needed/wanted.

Brit did a hell of a job of keeping me working on the damn thing.

JP - I was gonna ask if that weight included you. Damn! 1848# with a rollbar and a six. Impressive...

When does the dashboard come out?

..

SOOOOO I guess your SCCA class is gonna be ??????? Sumpin MOD. and not street mod.

Hay.....that number is on uncertified scales. It's just between us'n.

WOW looks really nice JP..

dunno about autox rules, but that roll bar padding is a no no for road racing...

Should I take it off?

Seriously, every time I go to a local race shop, I look at the padding they sell
.....and this is it. Some direction would be a help....even an on line supplier would be gud.
not that I'm going racin'.

That type roll bar padding is no longer acceptable with most sanctioning bodies..

They want you to buy the SFI approved high density padding that is about 18$/3 foot length

We had to redo the padding on our car last year right before the Mosport race. A steward came around and took a look at our car, and mentioned that we should get the approved padding if we wanted to race

I know SCCA and PCA road racing require this stuff to be SFI rated.. I dont know about the autoX rules

one source is here HMS Motorsports

Im sure there are sources quite near you where you can get this padding

So the pipe insulation from Home Depot is out, then?
LOL!

My cage is PVC pipe anyhow.....what's the big deal?

Thanks, Tim, that gives me an idea of what to look for.
I don't think there are any rules of that nature for AX.

Interesting. I had a guy tech my car at a local PCA DE last year. He pointed out that my padding was indadequate but passed me anyway. Suspect that would be different for "real" racing. A stick of the black foam is $5. At $18 the other stuff should be real good. I think it is smaller in in OD for the same ID. Maybe I should put some on my driver side horizonal bar so I can get my ass over it easier!

oh... crappers...
now I got to find a way to out 3lbs...
dang JP your making me work too hard.

nice weight though!!!

I see a license plate.

You're back on the road? Daylight only, right?

Get 'er done!

Funny you mention the License plate. I was going to take it off, but it required removing the entire rear bumber so I left it. I did wire up the rear tail lights though.

Regarding the dash, that old wood dash that he is soooo proud of has got to go soon.
