Street tires

I took the old wheels we used in the GRM Challenge back in 08, I mounted a new set of street tires on them, and mounted them on my Daily Driver. you can see pics here www.rede30.blogspot.com. I took the old wheels I had on it and mounted them on the race car. They look pretty good.

Autox preparation continues.

At the last PCA autocross, I had to bail on one of my runs because the entire gauge panel popped out halfway through the course, and was flopping all over the place. I cut up our existing panel of carbon fiber, and using the original heater controll panel I mounted all of our gauges. It came out pretty good.
To Do list before the next event...
Today I tested the compression on our spare M20, and all cylinders were within 10% of each other.

More work completed.

Well, while I was working on the suspension, I noticed our front sway
bar mounts were coming apart. I made a quick trip to the junkyard, and
was lucky enough to find a convertible with urethane mounts... I paid
less than $3 for both! While I was there I was able to find a one way
valve for our broken brake booster.

Motor mounts replaced.

After destroying both stock mounts, I bought some material and had it
shipped to my father up in Va. I took the measurements, and using a
lathe, he was able to make these super cool solid motor mounts for me!
I even have trans mounts to match! Thanks dad!

Finally the front suspension rebuild is done.

i've also just figured out how to post directly from my phone which will be super cool now when i'm in the shop and too tired to upload photos to my comp, then sit and post!
