Hello folks,
Just wanted to let you know that I am new here and will be lurking frequently for the purpose of building a G92 IROC-Z for "track day" fun for around Austin, TX events. I am an Auto Tech for Chevrolet (and multi certified for other makes) but knowledge from there to here has minimal transfer compared to the experience that doing this brings. I have already read the write-up sticky which I found to be informative but I am strongly considering reading much more literature on the subject so I can get a better grasp of suspension dynamics. Current progress of the car is a rolling chassis with glass that I have completely disassembled from a complete car for a complete rebuild including chassis and paint. I have bought numerous parts for it but I am awaiting for my "appointment" to have subframes welded in (TDS/Alstons) so I can begin the suspension portion of the build. I did have the pleasure of meeting one of your veterans in person one afternoon while buying a rear end. I was very impressed by the car and wish I could have talked further but I was in a hurry to get back on the road. IIRC, he really preferred the Global West Suspension products on his car and had many season wins. Anyway, I don't plan on muddying up the water with "build my car for me" questions but I will probably need some pointers here and there to make sure I am not wasting money. lol! I know this will be a long process and I am just going to strap in and enjoy the ride. Thanks. |
