I just thought id stick my rolla into the Projects section. Most of you have seen it.

But now its finally hit the track and will become a track car.

on this page you can see I'm Famous already Bottom right.

Here is its first track day captured by a pro.

 

I think i did alright for my first time and on standard street rubber.

 

I bought these 3 days later for the next run in a few weeks, the the other tires where too scary.

6 new tires and 8 spitfire2 rims for $600 how cheap it that:). These tires are around $220 each. I just couldnt pass them up.

These rim/tire combo stick out around 1.5 inches out of the front guards so a set of bolt on guards are coming too.

 

I thought i had it almost good to go, Now after getting it on the track i have a full A4 page of things i need to do to make it faster/safer.

hope those Koni's help a bit dude,

nice tyres btw!!

NickZ is making me subscribe to HOW MANY MORE THREADS!! :P hahaha

Nah, good stuff dude! Top pic he took, hey? :D

That pic looks awesome on that other page!!! Congrats dude

Got the wheels back from being redrilled, did a quick flare job on the front, I was going for bolt on flares but money is a bit tight at the moment so ill just have to live with it.

The tires seem better, but ive only run them around the block and havent heated them up, that will have to wait till the next race meet.

 

Falken_KE30: Hmmm the koni's, About .01% better over the old shocks. Theres nothing wrong with them, they just didnt fix my problem.

 

Someone here maybe able to give me a clue on how to fix it, I get lots of axle tramp and hitting bumps makes it feel like its skipping in the rear or shuddering Kind of like there isnt any shocks at all.

 

I finally got the chrome bits for the front from Falken_KE30 and put on the chrome strip along the bonnet YAY.

 

 

with flare that would look even tufffffer :P

:P :P :)

 

3 stars, I mean, paws for me :(

Only thing I can think of is getting either a panhard rod, or adapting a watts linkage.

Watts link would be better, see if you can adapt something off of a Ford, shouldn't be to difficult with a little fabrication.

ive fixed the axle tramp :wink:

its now got 8 leafs in each rear spring and its nice and tight, still have to put in the sway bar.

 

Oh and the big news today is ive paid for my 4AG 20V engine, will be here next wednesday.

Bellhousing turned you monday and i pay for the extractors tomorrow so they should be here early next week too.

 

Ill be working torwards turbo it very soon so i got one of these too.

But I'm still not sure what size turbo to run yet. I had my eye on a hybrid t3/t04 but maybe a little too big.Yes i did say extractors earlier, ill be running it while i look for the turbo and other parts.
