R Spicy 1 Build coming soon.......

[hat1018]

She will be at Toledo and then a run at BeaveRun.

Returning to the scene of the crime eh?
So glad to hear that your healing process is going well enough for you to run the auto-cross. I am also happy that Spicy is getting dialed-up a notch or four. Looking forward to seeing you and Lauri again, been too long.

Lateral arms installed after a bit of frustration of dealing with rusty bolts, nuts etc. Thanks again to Marc, Evan and Josh(for use of his torch) we got her done! Now on to getting an alignment and getting ready for Toledo.

Can't wait to see Spicey in action. I think most of us are running in SMF. Young Mr. Kulish isn't liking this to much There is a pretty quick Mini that runs at the TEA events in SMF. Should be a good time.

Really happy with the cars performance yesterday, left time on the course but Spicy held up with two drivers. My opinion is seconday, as Lauri's matters most and she said difference was night and day. The upgraded rear suspension and replacing all if the motor mounts were well worth it! The car was on rails on the Toledo concrete surface and I know I left time out on the course, but after not auto-xing fir three years I was happy overall with my driving in a new car. So I am on a new learning curve with Spicy. Will be upgraded the rear bar, thanks to Phen. So more surprises for me.

Will be looking for track day for testing and tuning before going back to Time Trials.

Spicy looked great out there!

+1 It is awesome to have another MSP out on the track. Racing a rare breed is way more fun than seeing the same kind of car at every other event.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Thanks guys, we'll see you at September's event!

I got some video of a couple of Spicy's runs with you and Lauri behind the wheel. They aren't the best videos but still fun to watch, I'll get them up tonight. I bet it was great to be behind the wheel again, boss!

The car felt really solid and it now I need to start a new learning curve to see what her new limitations are! Thanks for all of the help you and Marc gave me while I was down physically, it means alot that our family does look out for one another. I always tell my co-workers that our Team Ohio folks are the best and will offer up the shirt off of their back to jhelp one another. Looking forward to the video, Lauri has some in car of her runs, I will upload once she reviews and gives me the OK!

Just ordered the AWR Rear Sway Bar Brackets for adjustable 21mm rear sway thanks to Phen. Also the car is going back to Big 3 to have the cold pipe re-routed to get the Mishimoto Radiator to fit. Still waiting on the 3" DP from the Pope. So looks like we are almost done with her for 2012, big upgrades coming for 2013.

 

[rally2003]

I would use energy suspension camps for the 21 AWR bar. I broke 3 sets of the black OEM clamps that mount to the AWR aluminum block. Probably because I have it almost as a straight bar and has very little flex I can show you how I did it or take some pics for you. Just look the greatest, but they are almost 3 times thicker bushings and the metal clamps are made for off road trucks. The best part is they have grease fittings.
