I suck for not getting better pics sooner. Here's one:
(IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/IMG_1608_sat.jpg) A pic of the interior and my IP: (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/IMG_1551-Copy.jpg) Yeah, there's about 12 zip ties holding my WB02 in place (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) This piece of aluminum holds the ECM, AutoProm, Fuse Panel, Relays, aux power, DRAC, and globs of wire: (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/IMG_1550.jpg) (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/IMG_1491-Copy.jpg) Hinged at the bottom, remove a wing nut and it folds down.

QUOTE (Mojave @ Nov 13 2010, 11:29 PM) How's the side exhaust now that it's more driveable? It has a deafening rattle, so bad I want to wear ear plugs. I tried some quick fixes but they aren’t working. This winter I’m going to put in solid engine mounts (I have ties from frame to cyl heads now) and use stiffer hangers to support the muffler. The new hangers will be made from sway bar end link bushings housed in a steel tube. |

Feb 25-27 Don’t worry folks, it will get abused next year. Until then, it’s getting waxed (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) You coming up? I'll probably just hang out down there with Keith and the gang. |

Stan Wax increases drag, sure you want to go down that road?
On the other hand it does strengthen your shift arm for better control.... |

I'm not an expert on this sort of things.

Finally some track time:
(IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/Drivers.jpg) (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/Pass.jpg) (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Paint/Front.jpg) It was the first HPDE of the year at Waterford Hills. Car ran good, but I was slow, but this track is dangerous and I wasn’t about to push it and roll it on the first outing. I was happy to get some time in the seat(been 2.5 years), test the trailer loading and unloading etc, and give the car a shake down. Nothing broke on the car but I’ll give it a good review up on jack stands when I get some time. More pics here: http://www.clutchpics.com/Motorsports/Wate...7121547_W2Tf39N |

Looks sweet dude. Have someone put the first ding in the paint so you can really drive it hard. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

haha, its got pleanty of stone chips now and I put a couple scratches on it already (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I'll wait until Gman or Grattan to push it hard and bring those lap times down. Too many walls and I've seen too many cars roll at Waterford. Something that is sick is that I'm already day dreaming about building my next car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
