[QUOTE="iismet, post: 14200299, member: 15250"] The last time I ran the car I became increasingly irritated at how slow it was thru the corners. I found good rhythm in the last session and was able to dive fairly fast, but I was at the limit of the front end. With the aero on the car I could run flat out on the back straight but the car seemed to wander a little. I called Maximum discussed the changes we had made and told them I wanted to re -spring and re-dampen. They asked me some questions and sent new parts i.e. MM3 525F 700R. They also gave me toe and camber settings. We also added a set of Hoosier R6's and a street roll bar tied to the shock tower brace. I sent 2 of the younger guys who work for me to PIR last month. One of them has driven the car on numerous occasions and stated it was a completely different animal. The one that had never driven was easily hitting speed in excess of 130 and that was without using 2nd gear. I will drive the car at the end of June so we have been building around the roll bar. I purchased a street bar and then added to it. One of my requirements is we have to be able to put the car back to a street configuration if I ever wanted to. I purchased some Stiffler jacking rails and welded them in. I purchased some convertible door bars form Maximum and tied the B hoop and the door bar feet to the jacking rails. We are adding a jacking plate near the center of the wheel base. Convertible door bar. We will gusset the bend. [img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/842/rye5s.jpg[/img] Cross tube welded between jacking rail and sfc and welded to door bar plate. [img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/838/u2iu.jpg[/img] This will become our jacking plate. [img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/843/ch6tz.jpg[/img] B pillar foot tied to cross tube. The MM SFC do not touch the body here so we added a vertical plate tied to sfc and floor and attached cross tube to that. [img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/844/2v3j.jpg[/img] Using the jacking rails as a reference plane - I plan to sheet from front to rear with aluminum. We won't cross the tunnel but can still clean up a lot of surface area. I can hardly wait to run it. chr [/QUOTE]
