What's going on! That looks good! Are you going to run with us at Willow next year? Represent!

I might venture outside of the socal region in February though, I want to head for Phoenix and run PIR, my old stomping grounds. I'd like to take the track record away from Tage Evanson. Haha

Awesome part looks good. How was it layed up? Vacuum bag, pre-preg or wet layup, any core used or just solid? How are you going to attach it?

Hopefully! I should be getting my panhard on soon. Then brakes and another set of NT01's and it'll be ready to go.
what's for dinner?
black beans and rice with pork. Damn roommates lil brother eating up all my food!

Hopefully. It will be mounted with breakaway in mind. Looking to get a bike to daily then the car will be a full time weekend ****.

I might get it hard mounted this weekend. If so, final pix will be up.

It's like 10 layers, hand layed. Cant get into specifics of it as it's proprietary.

Now my car needs side skirts and a big dumb GT wing. I am taking donations.

OMG it's like driving a completely different car now. It's rock solid at any speed above 50. Even a tiny shimmy i had from the shitty Dunlups I run is gone. Drove through Angeles crest the other day and the car is completely different at even speeds as low as 30 mph. The front end has so much more grip its amazing!
