Cool picture Eric. Sounds like you had a good time. We have some pictures of a MN drive from this past weekend on the "minnesota pelican drive 5/31" thread.

looks good, kind of a silverish blue color in the pics. What color is it? I noticed that you took your rocker panels off. How do you like the look? I have been thinking of taking mine off simple because I don't like the black rubber stripe on my car. I have always thought it wouldn't look good w/o changing the bumpers on a post 74 car to something like an Iroc or backdating to pre '74 but I like the looks of yours. It helps that it has a great stance and sits so low.

Sarah,
Yeah .. I had a great time.. the weather was a bit of a gloom.. but it cleared up later and was great for the 2nd day.. Smitty, Yep.. she has NO body roll brother.. nun atuhl... I need some tires because the 350 tread wear turds i have on now suck for cold auto cross racing.. I was a bit over a second off the winners time.. and the guys who beat me where all on race rubber.. they were shocked to see the tires I had on.. all weather turds! hahah.. man they never wear out.. but i have some new rubber to place on her now! .. a great guy Richard hooked me up..I will be paying him as i can for the tires he gave me.. so maybe I'll dish a nice arse whipping at the next REDLINE series AutoX. jmz, She is really gray..yeah I like the look better with out the rocker covers.. I like the look of the oil lines .. plus it shaved weight of the car.. which is the way i like it. yeah she looks better in person.. and she will now with the new softer tires me a bad muther to deal with on the road.. Elmbard. Hey The trip went great right up until I hit Atlanta.. man it rained lieke mad on me and son of a .....! there were 4 crashes I had to sit through because the guys were driving like 80 and 90 while on phones in the friggin rain!!! so .. I was honked off.. sorry I didn't call ya.. i was a bit pissed atthe careless driving that was going on around me.. I was just wanting to get off the road at that point.. it was nasty out .. I thank you for the speed trap info.! hahah Later Guy's & Gal's! Eric

You could have easily won that autocross if you would just lose those darn heavy bumpers Eric!!!! Bring on the fiberglass to that lightweight machine!

ipapilot,
yeah .. I know man.. it's just that my right foot has managed to allow the local POE-leece.. to take all my car funds for .. say the next, ugh... 2 years! hahha ! so the light weight bumpers have to wait.. I have managed to get her very, very light with just removing stuff and cutting away unneeded material.. so she is doing ok.. for now and she still looks 100% stock.. which is cool! Princeton, I have gotten 436 lbs out her to date... eric

Hey Eric,
I can't remember, what muffler are you running? Something loud and obnoxious I am sure!!! Just hunting for ideas for myself. Also, what torsion bars/struts are you running, since you said it has no body roll? Brian |

man Eric I know the feeling...I am running on 420 turds and it's a bit hard to control but fun as hell! I am working a deal here for a set of 16" Cups with good rubber on em...might do the trick! Is your PM box full? Sent you a couple PM's with no response...just wondering.

Smitty,
I haven't been in there I'll go check it out,,, I e-mailed ya yesterday to your work address,,, Yeah I know the tires a re bit hard to control.. they won't allow me to put much power down before they go spinning ... it sucks.. but I know I will be up with them if not kicking some arse once the rubber is on.. Eric

Hey there
Mind if I ask where and how much for the green shocks? My
wrench says I'm needing...had it out for a test drive Sunday and it is obvious. And no point in getting it aligned etc until new shocks.
