I just got back from the machinist. We are going to start fixing everyone for the 1 out 6 case. It will get rid of step 5 and 6. Doug remembers one other race car a long time ago that needed the modifications. If anyone would like to exchange the already sent parts for ones with the modification. Please get ahold of me. It's a very easy fix, but I will exchange them, none the less.

I have gone through 5 times that much effort to replace rack bushings and 10 times more to replace a rack, this is easy even if you have to use a sand roll or dremel

Not a problem!!!

Some are on back order, I had no idea we would sell 15 of these in under a week. They are being plated and should be back in stock very soon, maybe by the end of the week, so hang on guys.

I have one in the customer's hands. He said "it's cold out in the garage" I told him "get on it, you don't know what cold is" He asked "how cold it was here at our shop" . I told him "-40 with the wind"
I hope that got his butt out to the garage to work on it.

Got mine today, look great I am still working on the back half of the car, as soon as I move up front and start the control arm bushing replacement I will do the steering bushings as well. I will start many other projects up there at the same time

Thanks, I was at Pfadt today checking out some pretty cool things going on there. It got me all wound up to do even more to my car than planned for now and I have to stop adding to the list or I will never be able to drive it!!!

Since I am starting out with TT before I step into W2W I was happy to hear they added 3 more to the schedule at MMP today Race license school is the end of Apr and then the real fun starts! I was planning on waiting until the end of this season or start of next season to get into W2W but may just start as soon as they let me!

If you spend 3 years building that will be 2 less years you could be out there getting fast. A fast car starts with the nut behide the wheel.

Yup, I was in Seattle helping the Naykid team, but jobs/life changes and i moved to Houston. Better weather and more tracks (sports car and karting) here anyway.

Looks like a really good idea Randy. How long do you estimate the install to be?
