well its the start of the 2011 race season and the time trial class has grown considerably, the first event at msr-h had a better than 30 car field. in order for me to stay competitive ive got to upgrade the chassis and suspension to accomodate the wider rubber im going to run this year as well as a serious boost in power.
first install on the list are the sp-tec tension rods and brackets
the bracket design allows me to drop my sway bar for faster engine removal without having to remove the whole sway bar and bracket assembly
they install without a hitch and the construction and fitment were first rate
after having the car aligned with max caster, 2.7 degrees negative camber and 0 toe in, it responded with crisp turn in and felt really stable...very nice part
ill be updating as i work, but heres a peak at the next stages slated for the old battleaxe
i wonder whats in this box
or better yet, what about this box?
time for some more upgrades
