After getting hooked on the track days, I thought I'd get a few things going on the old C3 for the winter.

headers and sidepipes


6 point roll cage


Billett steel tie rod ends


and brake ducts.

Cool, I like the billet tie rod ends, where'd you get those? Except I don't see any flats for a wrench.

Where are you going to mount those brake ducts?

The tie rod ends went on today, they went on so smooth, that I was able to adjust them by hand. The flats are where the bolts are on the inside end.

The ducts are going where the front side lamps are. I'll put them in when the front flares are being put on.

69autoxr - you got mail.
