Hi All,
Been browsing the site for a day or so and just want to say I really like what I see. Looks like most everybody here is into some form of racing. I started NASA HPDE in 2002 and moved up the ranks fairly quick into Time Trials when it first got introduced back in 2003. I ran as often as I could afford to until priorities changed at the end of 2006 season. I am just getting back into Time trials again this season. I know there aren't to many first gen f-body racers here but hell I really cant find many anywhere except for VARA and I'm too modified to join them. Here are a few pic's from a test and tune I was doing at Buttonwillow. Ran consistent 2:10's my last session with a best 2:10.125 13CW configuration. I had just lowered the rear another 1 1/2" and my rear tires were hitting my inner quarter panels and tail pipes, heating up my tires, and creating a loose condition. I have since installed a Fays2 watts link and will be back to Buttonwillow sometime after May to see if I can knock my times down any further.

Nice looking setup! So you're still running the factory front sub huh? Here's the lowdown on mine in it's current stage.
Front sub built by me to hold C5 components and Brakes, Front Rack. Rear is an IRS from a donor C4 with C4 brakes. For power I'm running a 377 (destroked 400) with about 435hp and a Super T10 4 speed. It's almost ready for some shakedown runs on the chassis before I tear it all apart for final painting and fit and finish. I may run fiberglass front and inner fenders with a carbon fiber cowl hood, steel doors and trunk. Cage is going in this spring, just a 4 point with front down bars. I hope to have it track worthy by next season. I have an LS1 and with the computer and harness I may decide to swap in before final assembly. One question, How did you narrow the tank? I don't see any seams anywhere? |
