Default The car is getting there . . .

Here are the latest jobs completed:

Corbeau Forza compliments of SlowSER (loaner). As luck would have it OG Racing just happen to have the right bracket in stock. This is really a plus because OG Racing doesn't stock Corbeau brackets.




My pimpy Longacre 14" convex mirror:





Now I just have to figure out where to get a set of tires from and I will be set.

Nice! How do you like the new mirror with the cage in the way? With just my rollbar in the R, I can't see a damn thing with the stock mirror. I'm going to need something better in the CRX, too.

Blue really stands out Color contrast like that should be good for a few HP

The mirror is awesome. I have NO blind spot on the passenger side. I can see the cars next to me in my peripheral vision out the window while I can see them in the mirror and this is good for 2 lanes over (more distance than what will be found on track. It doesn't help much out the driver's side though. That is where vision is bad because of the angles. All I see is this big white ball (my helmet) and tons of black/blue rollcage. I still rely very heavily on a slightly re-adjusted driver's side mirror to compensate for this.

I figure the blue contrast is giving me a good 33HP at the wheels y0!

Nope. You want to buy and install it for me? Personally I have not seen enough conclusive evidence in regards to mine's ability to absorb forces in a crash. I have read that guys words and although compelling, they don't have any real facts or data to back them up.

If my **** didn't do its job then we wouldn't be allowed to use it.

I have not read anything that says this location is not acceptable.
-grip tape in the floor pan?
Sheet metal painted with gloss enamel is pretty slick - and when it gets wet it is even worse. The tape keeps my heels from sliding around.

sorry... from the first picture the bottle looked different than in the last picture...

That location is where I put "Yack"-0ff's. I just hope his monkey arms can reach it.

That isn't a JC Whitney catalog you see. It is actually the new APC Performance Parts catalog. Thanks for ordering the stuff for me though. I couldn't decide which color lights I wanted in the nozzles. Those indiglos are going to be sweet! How much power do they give me?

once again, were proud to sponsor you this year, and thanks again for signing up to appear in our booth at NOPI this year. your car is going to look great with 8 12"s boomin in the hatch of your ride!

checked the rulebook ,they arent legal unfortunately. instead i sent out purple neon tubes, and blackouts for front and rear lights. they should help because none of your oponents will know when your stopping, therefore going off track
