    It is a custom splitter that was made for the previous owner.

    It weighed 2880lbs right after filling the tank. Track weight should be just under 2800.

    Awesome, build. Can I ask what material your door cards are made of?

    The panels are .040 grade aluminum.

    Oil filter housing is leaking oil, so I have to replace the gasket in order to pass tech. I also have a few bushings that are worn out, so I figure that it is time to replace those too. They also had a set of ground control camber arms that are being tossed on.


    You may be able to notice some of the oil that has been leaking in this picture.

    Do you still have A/C and the heater core installed? Weight seems heavier than I thought but I can't remember how low in weight these cars can get. Still a good loss in weight.

    Yes, I do; I am thinking about taking it out. I have since taken about 20lbs out of the car. There is a lot of weight to be removed from under the car though, I think I can get another 20lbs out from under there.







    nice and clean

    I'm surprised to see no X brace, any reason you aren't running one? I would suspect you are getting some significant flex with the coils and sticky tires.

    Haven't really had any flex yet. If I find flexing to be a problem on the track, then I will buy one.

    2800lbs is good with A/C and heater core still there! Gives me hope as I want to keep both.

    Get a light weight battery, 2.75-3" custom single exhaust, pass airbag, you can find another 80 lbs easy.

    Yes! I was hoping this car would get LTW risers. This thing is amazing! I hope that I can start a build like this within the next few years.

    Thanks! I've probably removed another 20-30lbs since I weighed the car. The weight should be around 2780lbs + driver when I track it since I will be on a 1/2 tank. I plan on doing a single 3" exhaust sometime around December.

    I can't wait to see how it looks with the risers on! If you have any questions when you start your build, let me know.

    Looks good! Install a X-brace it makes a huge difference on these cars and saves your oil pan from death.

    Update from the shop












    Ground control rear camber arms





    This picture displays the bolt that had originally given me so much trouble. The tech that initially aligned the car described it as "frozen." This troublesome bolt prevented the car from staying aligned, according to the tech. I can't wait to see how the car performs now that I will have a proper alignment!
