So to lighten up my car i removed the core support...

 

 

Were you nervous when you started this project or have you seen it on other cars? The big question would be how much weight did you shed?

 

Not nervous one bit.. when I'm done I'm thinking around 70-80lbs lost

 

looks nice. id love to do something like this. whats the specs/goals of that motor. with that tiny rad i would assume an alky motor. good luck with it.

 

Should Run 5.20s maybe 5 teens if I want to keep putting pistons in it. It's on c23

 

thats a pretty stout #. keep us updated on how you mount the front end

 

 

We also lowered the car in the rear... added coil over spring adjusters

 

Lowering it to keep this away

 

On the bumper much?

 

What did you break when it landed, after that launch?

 

Bent struts.. cracked windshield. Abd bent racecraft cc plates

 

Small price to pay for such a wicked photo. All four tires off the ground...impressive!

 

Seems to me you are removing much needed weight from the furthest point of leverage on the car. You trying to end up on the roof?

 

Maybe time for some bars.

 

Yeah it was highter than that at one point.

 

Your right... But I have double adjustable struts and travel limiters... Time to make them do their job!

 

[QUOTE=Edwardgp;5691650]Maybe time for some bars.[/QUOTE*]
Can't run wheelie bars in ultra/ultimate street class

 

I love it and against a stang

 

So, I'm confused. You are removing weight off the front, not running bars and lowering the vehicle height in hopes of not doing that bumper stand again?

 

why dont you t just run a bar? keep the nose down

 

If you read his post, he said he can't run bars in the class he runs.

 

Wow I am in awe...at the lift off photo and the great fab work on the front. Its a project I've thought of and your photo show a lot of the answers to my questions....not to mention, it surived that landing...lol...

Question is what stock is used, sch40 and the smaller rods, solid 1/2"?

 

oops haha i must have missed it, thanks

 

Lowering the car will allow me to change the instant center of the car farther out. The front of my torque arm has 4 hole of adjustment in the front.
Plus before the car sat up 2'' higher in the rear and would rotate on the axle and wheel stand. Plus with double adjustable struts and travel limiters I'm not worried.

 

 

 

That must have hurt the pocketbook to have each of those things break. That leopard print tape is priceless!!

 

Heads up racing hurts the pocketbook.... The girl did all that pink n cheetah **** on the box

 

 

I'm going to apologize for assuming you're a man. Looked at a few of your vids. Would you be Shelby? The pink box and engine parts make much more sense now. I so wanted to ask but feared insulting someone if it was a man.

 

Shelby does drive... I'm not Shelby. That's her crafty art work

 

 

Lol I own the car.. shelby drives sometimes. This user names is 10plus years old. It was created as a joke.

 

Very cool. I just seen all the framework, car on it's bumper and think that's a mans car. Then I got to looking at the "artwork" as you say, I don't even want to say what crossed my mind. First thing wasn't woman though. Tell her she's awesome.

 

Yeah she does good. She can **** some **** up. LOL. The reason for the tape is because in ultra street you cannot have a forward facing scoop. So when we race the ultra we turn it around and in the back of the box there is 3 holes, gotta cover them up also. So i gave her the scoop and thats how i got it back.

We turn it around when we do 28x10.5/275 shoot outs

 

Stiletto, can you send me a link/info on where you got the radiator AN hosing? I can find the -24 ish hose but nothing for hose ends. Help please? Thanks!

ps: sick build!

 

I used -16 and i bought it all from jegs

 

 

I also finally installed my aerospace dual nitrous bottle bracket

 

Very cool thanks for sharing
