(I cant remember how to embed on Nico..)


So back to the building..


I finally got my handbrake welded in before the last event. It locks instantly and I am really happy with the outcome.

Image


But during the event, both of my rear calipers seized...

So I picked up a set of reman'd calipers

Image


I also made a purchase that I am really excited about..

PBM Super Angle Forged Knuckles and Steering Rack Eccentric Bushings

Image
(and some beer)

I also have some other plans for the winter, hopefully a cage and seats and a few other pieces to be more competitive.

So the last event of 2014 was cancelled due to weather reasons. So the 2014 season is over and the prep for 2015 begings.

I picked up some PBM FLCA/Tension Rod combo and inner tie rod to go with the Knuckles. So for 2015 Ill be running:

-PBM Super Angle Knuckles

-PBM FLCA/Tension Rod

-PBM Inner/Tein Outer tie rod

-PBM Ecentric Steering Rack Bushings

Image

Image

I also picked up a Bride FG Seat Rail and a Corbeau 5pt Harness for a bucket seat I will be putting in

Image

Image

The LS is healthy and running great. I have no plans for it this winter. Dont mess with something that works.

Image

I will also be having a full cage welded in this winter also, but Ill be be putting on the new front suspension parts first and get that all sorted out.

Wise!
I've seen a lot of people try to change something up, and it totally bites them in the a**.
