Just put the 'Flyer' .......

..... back on the ground and out the door.

The road test was a blast on the new suspension.

The brakes will stop the T/A on a dime and leave at least 3 cents change now.

Added a couple of new pix showing the new stance.

Next - manual rack -n- pinion setup.

Can't wait until the trip to Watkins Glen. 2 days at the most infamous road course. Full course - 3.48 miles.:hail:

Hey PF Flyer, First off... AWESOME CAR!!!! You definitely have the right formula going for your car. Lots of GO and plenty of WHOA! How do you like your Sophn stuff? I have ordered the same stuff you did and I am looking forward to getting them and bolting them on. What kind of power are you making with your engine and all the mods? My next project is a engine build up, wanting around 320-350HP @ the fly wheel. Ive heard alot of good things about the alum. L98 heads and some of the other componets you have. I would love to hear any feedback you can give about your parts and power they make.
