Hahahaha..... I met you at Portland a couple of years back.... I took heaps of pics of Morgans car and noticed the tie downs when you guys were packing up.... I said to you guys that I'd love a set of those, and you said you made them.... Good times!

I looked like that cause I'd had a long week a big Saturday then got to work with shitty fibreglass on a saturday night all when I should have been living in my van somewhere far far away, stupid doctors. I think Ben was near a few empty bottles when he wrote that last post, and the back end of that car is looking as wide as yours how many kg's you loose this week? 35kg's is is good for a tenth or two isn't it.

With a rake like that my car, was a handful at the top end.... The cross winds are murder at the Motorplex here in WA, which I'm sure doesn't help!.... So I stacked two caster shims (4 in total) which really helped..... But as my car is getting revamp, I will be chopping the framehead (to build in some caster) in the very near future... And lifting the transaxle.... Hoping this will help with the topend stability...
But back onto this one..... Jeez Ben you gotta be stoked with your 60' times!!!!..... This car is a bloody credit mate...

Definately the caster is a problem, linkpin shims will also need correcting to get the desired pack total and set correctly for camber.
Well done on getting back on track. 👍

why did you not just get std size guards and paint them?
did you find out how much lighter the car is now?
good times and fantastic 60ft.
good on you

I know how you can reduce the weight by another 40 kilos and it wont cost you a cent? Let me take it for a spin lolwhathaveidone wrote:Of course its not worth the cost!!!!!🤪 nothing in dragracing is value for money. I dont count what it cost me. The value is in getting on the track.
It weighed 600kg with an empty fuel tank. Still have a few more bits and pieces to remove. Now Ive almost got the car looking how I want, Im going to start chasing mor HP🤪
