Well it has been a while since I updated this thread so here goes. The car is now in race form and ready to rock. First auto-cross is 03-22-09 at Des Moines. Haven't ever been there before but at least I will get to give the car a try before running in front of everyone I know.
Anyhow in race trim it came in with 3/4 tank of fuel and the muffler still on at 2165. Not quite as low as I was hoping for I am now glad I did the doors. As far as the doors go I see my last post I was trying to make plastic ones. Couldn't find glue to work so wound up making fiberglass doors from scratch. About 10 or 11 lbs each and didn't come out too bad as you will see in the pictures.
I finally gave the car a short run with the slicks and yes it will turn them over quite easily. I hope the have a bit stick once the weather warms up.
Got the car tuned to the point I am at least willing to run it. Might take just a bit more fine tuning but is set pretty good right now. Starts and idles when cold and runs great all the way to red line which right now is set at 7000. Will eventually take that to 7500 but for right now 7000 is good enough. Gets there rather quickly too. I hope to have the graphics ready for the car by next weekend. The car is named "Donner Maus" - "Thunder Mouse" I hope the design comes out OK. Basically a tear down the side of the car with the background revealing a blue lightning bolt on a black background. Then the numbers placed on top of the that. The same theme is then carried to the hood and the roof.
So some pictures of the car as I hope to run it next. A true pile of C.R.A.P.
