So I've been floating around awhile but haven't posted much, mostly reading and enjoying. So I thought I'd post up what I've been working on for everyone. My pride and joy is a 2001 Trans am Ws6 (not anymore technically) haha. I've been slowly building and driving the car since I bought it in 2012. It was in rough shape and didn't seem like it was taken care of. I've upgraded and removed alot, and still have alot more to go. The short story of the upgrades are full suspension, cage, custom exhaust and any weight removal possible. Thanks for viewing!

Well up until recently I was shooting for AI. But starting to just lean towards a fun autox/HPDE/test and tune car. Then once I have more seat time maybe I'll build something for a specific class. I still need to do the 6spd swap and remove alot of wiring. Brake and hub upgrades. Some other odds and ends. I'd also like to remove more weight and do lexan. But once I start doing that I feel like it'll be harder to get inspected and drive on the street. So I'm putting that off till very last haha

Do I see poly/poly LCA's in the pic of all the parts on the floor? I'd advise against those for track use (or are they rotojoints?). The only other advice is to avoid lexan. When I built my 3rd gen I bought a lexan windshield, but I was going to put glass back in it instead. Glass lets you keep the wipers and it's much easier to care for. If you're not racing in a class for an actual "win" (as Mitchntx once said "You can't win practice"), it's hard to justify the "issues" with Lexan for such minimal gains. It can pit and scratch and craze and you have to dump your wipers. Do what you want, but I'd save lexan for the very last thing if you need just a bit more to win a championship, particularly the front glass. |
