my car loosing it's street features.

Post by 85levin »

since i moved from california i have only driven my car at the track. so, i have decided to "never" use it on the street again and put it on a diet.
here is the list:
stock rebuild (in progress)
build 5 gal baffled aluminum fuel tank with external walbro fp (in progress)
fit heim joint rear links (in progress)
fit heim joint lca's
upgrade cooling (in progress)
finally install a working tach
remove dashboard
redo under dash harness and install kill switch
get rid of all glass
replace head,corner lights and grill with carbon fiber panel
align and corner balance
break in and dyno tune engine

planning on doing all this before sept. 18, hopefully i reach that goal. will start adding pics shortly.

Only on the internet could a man spend a lot of time and effort doing a high quality job only to have everyone rip him a new hole for not having the same exact taste as everyone else.

"Muffin Filters," definitely something different and nice all at the same time. I can't wait to see your Levin in action again at the track!
