Update pics of my 2nd gen FP Project

Nothing major. The wiring can be seen mounted on the firewall. Still sits too high with the current suspension(Ground Control soon).

You should start then. I've heard there may be another co-driven car running in FP this year. As long as your car is running you should bring it down. Mine is far from being what it needs to be but I should have fun.

FPrep2ndGenRX7,
Looks great. I really wish I did not have to sell my car so we could compete in F-Prepared against each other next year. We could both add 500# of balast weight to our roofs to even the field for that red BMW.

I finally pulled the racing seat out of my car last night (that is the only thing I get to keep out of it). It should be gone next week so I can get started on my next project car.

BTW: If you would rather go with bigger wheels I will trade you my set of T2 wheels for those teardrop wheels in those pictures. I can't use the 16" T2 wheels in ITS. (These wheels have some Z rated BFG tires with good tread.)

Did RotaryMiata get a new clutch for his car?

LOL about the red BMW. Is 500# enough?

Those were the rims I had laying around. They actually have some R-compound tires on them, although they are old. I'll probably get some Azenis to run on those till I get some real rims and tires.

Alan picked up the clutch disc yesterday and already has it installed and test drove. It drove fine thru the neighborhood. Hopefully it will hold up at Twin Mountains event this weekend. The disc was basically brand new.

I forgot something. You can co-drive with me next year so you will still be able to beat up on the BMW

The way I get out of the car I put my had on the sell ever time. It hurts to put it directly on the lip under the plastic sill. I still have the weatherstripping in it also. It keeps the door from rattaling to much not that you could hear it with the header on it.

Thats what I had laying around. When I get the real rims they will be three piece aluminum rims measuring 16 x 10 with real racing slicks. I just don't want to spend any money on something else that I'll just replace soon.
