Re: Building a new track car with just some minimal mods.
Can you give us some info on the rack and pinion? many members are interested in this mod. Also how far back did you move the engine.
Thanks foe sharing,

How big is your garage? And Ceiling height? I want to do a garage in Sketch up and I am not sure how big to start.

315s on all corners. No problems with pan clearance on this one. And Scooter garages are never big enough.

Re: Building a new track car with just some minimal mods.
TVC so this is your new project. Using all you learned from the 1st one. What wheel are you using to get the 315s on the front. I take it you are still using strut suspension.
I am going to be really ticked off if you get this on the road before I finish mine. lol

Re: Building a new track car with just some minimal mods.
No doubt, but I am just looking for a starting point. My current garage is 24x24 and WAY too small small for me trying to work in it. The way you have things situated it looks like you have a good size there. Just wondered what you're working with since you have the 4 post with room all around, plus space around the car on the stands.

Ha, you are so right Tibo. That reminds me when growing up people would ask me why can't you be like everyone else? I guess I don't have a good answer.

Re: Building a new track car with just some minimal mods.
Tvc just what are you doing to move the front wheels forward 2" if you are still using stock K member. Will you be making custom lower A-arms that don't move the lower ball joint back as much as OE.
Your work is always top shelf. Can't wait to see how this project unfolds.

Minimal mods... lol...
I'm also curious what you're doing to move the front wheels forward 2", but my immidiate reaction is with this level of hacking to start with why keep the stock K-member?
I'm not familiar with your previous build, what is the intended use?
