Just a little update....that group buy on the front and rear crash supports bars went through and hopefully they should be here this week if not next week. Just looked at the tentative schedule for the track near me and the first test and tune is April 13th and we should have some great DA here (usually in the negatives). Now the question comes can I install everything and still order what I need/want before that day? Unfortunately my car is still in storage and prob won't come out till late March/ early April. I better get busy!

Are you also keeping track of dollar amount spent?

kjkjr27 · 02-24-2014, 10:22 AM

No haha. I was at one point but accidentally deleted the excel spreadsheet I had, and I can't remember how much I paid for everything so never tried to make a new one. I may try to again though.

Always fun following your mods. I am anxious to see how much is shows up in your times at the track.

Thanks me too! Which is why I want to get all this done before April 13th because it will prob be the only time until later in the year where I will have a chance to run in great DA. Lets just hope the weather holds up and it isn't cancelled!

Another little update: I decided to sell my pfadt toe rods and instead order these billet aluminum toe rods from LSR (they are so shiny for now lol).

Two reasons this happened lol 1. Pfadt went out of business and figured I could find find a buyer for the toe rods, figured someone putting more power down would benefit more from them than me and 2. The LSR toe rods weigh only 2.5lbs while the pfadt ones weighed 3.8lbs (stock is 4lbs) so I was able to save 1.5lbs, hey every bit helps right lol.

Also crash bars should be here any day

LSR Ftw, love my stuff from them...

HP Turbine · 03-07-2014, 02:35 PM

LSR has some really light stuff from what I've seen. Nice choice.

I agree. I should have looked a little more when I originally bought the trailing arm/toe rod package from pfadt awhile back. I wonder how much the LSS trailing arms weigh compared to stock. The pfadt are about 1lb lighter.

Jason@JacFab · 03-08-2014, 07:32 PM

Nice thinking on the toe rods. Sell the Phadt parts while people are desperate to get them!

kjkjr27 · 03-18-2014, 02:46 PM

These just arrived today

.

As long as it doesn't snow anymore, especially from now till next weekend I should have my car back by April 1st! Pretty much all I have left to order that I want is a 17lb braille battery and a set of drag radials before April 13th. Hope I can get all that done so I can get some good runs in during the beginning of the season with great DA that way I can see what else needs to be done to get that much closer to 12s. Stay tuned all!

KMPrenger · 03-18-2014, 03:57 PM

Nice. You've gone this far...no reason not to finish strong and at least get the DRs before the season begins...which is coming up soon!

kjkjr27 · 03-18-2014, 04:04 PM

Glad I was able to pick more hours up at work and get some OT the past few weeks, just wish the DRs weren't 300 each lol

717Stunna · 03-18-2014, 04:16 PM

Look on craigslist got my Hoosier radials with 17 inch Pontiac rims for 200 bucks
