Nice scott. That garage looks small from the outside but wow, it seems pretty spacious in the inside. Yeah its big from the inside, definitely enough space for me. All the tires on and balanced. Just finished priming and painting the wheels. If the weather is what they say it will be, ill be hitting the track again tomorrow

Went to the stip today. My first "shake down" pass that I feathered out of the hole was 11.2@132 with a 1.9 60'. Went to go again for a real pass and they told me I could not run anymore due to no safety equipment.

They will let you get away with it at least once. Hit up Stanton, Martin, and then go back over to your side of the state. lol

I think my new plan is to go to the NO ET nights at Milan Dragway that are once a month. Apparently you don't get booted for no cage etc...

Thanks guys.
I'll be attending the Buschur IDRC sport compact shootout at the end of the month. Hopefully get my 10 sec pass there!!! Going to drive the car down there with my slicks in the trunk.
I'll try and get video/pictures of the event as well.

Yeah, its bad ass. The two solid bushings alone on the diff ears fixed that issue which have been on the car for a while. I've been dreading installing the mustache eliminator for quite a while (dropping subrame and diff, drilling a perfect centered hole in the sub frame, lol)

Weighed the car yesterday. 3170 with me in it. 3090 with the drag wheels on it (with me in it again).
Pretty good for wet weight. Still looking into more options of loosing more so I am in the 2900 range with me in it. Would really like to eliminate the sunroof without having to replace the roof skin.
Things I have planned: D2 AWDmotorsports coilovers ABS removal Both firewall carpets All sound deadening Sunroof elimination
Any other ideas?
