Did pretty good yesterday. It was more of pulling everything together, being consistent and getting much smoother. I only got out for half a day due to rain but well worth it. Today will be a sunny beautiful day. Should be passed off as solo by the second session today. I was running cup2s and am swapping to slicks so really want someone in my car since the slicks are new for me. Not too bad for 5 track days. I was offered pass off after the second day but decided I could benefit from further instruction. The more I can get the better. AI said I can ask for an instructor any time which is awesome. Just because I will be solo does not mean I won't have instructors in my car many times in the future. @Coz ya I'm pretty sure I will need a more aggressive compound in the near future. After yesterdays improvements my speeds are way up and much harder on the brakes. Even at the slower speeds I wasn't using the brakes properly. R12s are not going to last long now.

Stupid bump stop brackets were given me grief at full unload when changing wheels, especially with the 18's. I looked at removing but saw the relocation brackets might not be friendly with regular style springs.

Found a compromise. A little "precision" cutting with and angle grinder and a little "love" with 2 lb hammer. It still maintains plenty of structural strength and doesn't affect the contact of the bump. Plenty of room now.

a little "love" with 2 lb hammer.

That 2 lb hammer love works every time!.....

I like my shopvac but love my beater garage dirt devil. No dust like when you sweep and no hoses to mess with. I dumped it in a dust pan just to show it will grab everything up to 1/4 stones and small leaves.

LOL…good to see some things don’t change. We remove the front bump stops on the vintage cars. Limits the front compression too much.

I still have the rear stop. The tires were hitting at full drop when changing. Had to piss around with the jack in 1/4 in increments to get the 11" wheels on the whole way. Cut away and pounded in the area that was hitting.

There's ways something with this hobby! If it's not the car it's the accessories! Now I need to check and see if they have the same quilt pattern for a shirt!

The only problem Sal, is just like your car, you will never get done modifying your underwear, haha!

 

[KazarS197]

Clean it up boys! This is a serious build thread! Unless you have some kind of special underwear that can make me go faster and a fancy name I'm gonna have to shut it down... What about some drawers with better "air flow" ?
