Default What a difference! Woo Hoo!!

I installed the Z06 sway bars and Blistien sport shocks today. :smash: :smash: :smash:

What a difference. I couldn't really challenge it, wet roads, damn California sun shine. :mad

I did get about 20 minutes running across the desert and weaving back and forth across the road to get the feel of things. I also caught a green light crossing a slightly crown top road on a 50 mph road. Use to be the car would get real light, almost floating down from the peak of the crown. Today it felt like it was glued to the road when the road started falling away. :D

I think I'm ready to head back to Willow Springs. :thumbs:

The ride is a little firmer then before but nothing objectionable.

Big thanks to Shawn @ L.A.P.D. for the shocks and, Bob at Fichtner for the bars and metal end links. Both provide great service. Thanks guys.

Tomorrow I'm dropping it off at MMS to have the clutch balanced. Hopefully it'll be back in time to run next weekends WCCC.

:cheers:

I haven't registered because I'm not sure exactly when I'll get the car back from MMS. I'm having the new clutch pulled, ballanced and, re-installed. With luck I'll get it back about Wednesday. If that's the case and everything seems to be running right. I may check to see if they're any spaces left.


If not I'll be watching for the next WS or Buttonwillow event. I really want to get back on the big track at Willow.

:cheers:
