My New STF project...

[Andres3165]

Well finally got my control arm bushings in, funny story the whiteline ones were out of stock for 90 days (manufacturer) , so I googled for a while , emailed a few places and 4 days ago I got an email from a guy in a little village East of Schotland he claimed he had them, I was not sure but his website seemed legit soo I took the plunge after three days like he said voila ! :

The other ones came from Powerflex directly courtesy of Vorshlag, great costumer service ! Looks like a box of girl's parfume:

Still waiting for my Ksport upgraded springs, already a month they are coming from Japan , but I might not be able to wait longer... Vorshlag has them as well.

Whiteline caster bushing for $95. I ended up getting the powerflex wishbone bushing from a place in the UK. Even with shipping it was $10 cheaper then good-win-racing lol.

If I do the rear bushing I think I am just going fill it with 3M window weld

Are you still running the same custom CAI from earlier in this thread or has it changed? Any updated pics?

Almost a carbon copy of the car that won last year. No excuses, now. Best of luck to both drivers.

 

[CorkSport]

Sounds like you are ready for victory.

We will try everything not to dissapoint you.

I forgot to mention that my good friend / mechanic / sponsor Mihai Costin at Costin Racing provided with an invaluable assistance with every modification and upgrade done to the car from the beginning.

Just remember....If you're not first, you're LAST!




Just kidding.

 

[mykflo]

Good luck.. represent!

 

[02semiata]

best of luck to both of you at nationals. If you replace the springs when you go to ast shocks in the front let me know I would buy them from you

 

[Andres3165]

Thanks guys, today's t&t at Ft. Myers was really good, after a few adjustments to the front shocks the car was very balanced and planted. On a 40 sec course I managed to be one second off a fully prepped str s2000 driven by David Marcus; usually he is 2 sec faster.

Tomorrow last event before the real thing.

[02semiata]

Post the results please thank you
