No, I just think the extra stress from the SC was just too much, but I have heard others with the blower have done the ac delete like this and not heard of this happening.

Had an amazing time at VIR. Car had no major issues minus the fender liner getting ripped out.

Built a quick release mount for the splitter. Getting under the car everytime it goes on and off the trailer was annoying. mcmaster.com makes doing stuff like this like playing with Legos

Had to get a new hood because my hood latch (quik latch rip off) failed while I was going about 50mph! Local guy had a black one and I guess it worked out. Used OMP hood pins for this one.

Sorry to hear about your hood but it looks pretty good black!

I scrolled through your thread and didnt see anything about that chassis mounted 9 lives wing. I need to know more about it! Also. Which rear bash bar did you get?

Yeah, I can't believe I didn't add anything about it. Basically I ordered a "builders Wang" at 69" and used the trunk latches as mounts. then cut a slot in the trunk, and welded a bar from the trunk rail to the bottom of the mount. It has survived 130mph on a NASCAR track so far.

This is brilliant.

Does the builders wing come with those uprights? Do you have a picture of the outside of the uprights mounted to the car? Just trying to figure this out.

I meant with the trunk off but no biggie. Do you remember where you had the mounts welded? I am thinking 41.5.

dude I love this car! I'd love to see it at TougeFest. I've seen Casey post pics of this car and I'm currently building my car in similar spec to yours and Takumi788's.
