thanks...

GUYS again wish me luck, my next race is next weekend. My second race.

first time ended up in 5th...stockported 12a, running with rear drum brakes, no LSD.

I have now a new 12a engine. Has a MONSTER EXTENDED port and huge exhaust ports, mindtrain stage III header, bad thing is am missing a side seal and have yet to close the engine up. I shooting for 200hp and that should put me in first place with some agressive driving.

The wheels are American Racing Libre wheels 110mm, 13x7 I'm running street tires in 215/50/13 size. I need to get some stockers so I can run Proxes Ra1 in 13s.

The decal on the hood is basically a cut view of the internals, a housing and a rotor. My GF copied an avatar in this same forum and we made a logo out of it.

I'm in Panama City, Panama

I made this one last night...maybe useless but might work. I kept the whole rear suspension loose but added this to prevent some chassis flex

basically a bar going across the top shock towers.


Forget to mention I have some weird spring rates, I went with stock rear springs (very soft) and a set of modified integra race springs up frt. Around 300lbs/in. Cost me $20.00 pair.

sorry it's all custom made and not all that nice, pictures make it look better...I don't even need it for my class.

I suggest getting an autopower rollcage if u are not too serious about racing, if it's all out racing then have one made but it's not going to be cheap.
