More of a track/auto x pad. Streetable but probably noisy.

Yeah noise and dust are my two things I will be looking at when getting new pads. If I come across anyone looking for some good pads I will send them your way. Thanks though!

Well, thats kinda the idea! We'll see how the splitter holds up. Its all mounted now, and Im in the process of painting it...

But it should be easy enough to trace it onto dibond/alumilite, or get it into CAD for easy reproductions.

I still have the other half of the wood sheet. I'll probably make a SCCA compliant version as well where the sides don't extend any further than the widest side of the bumper looking from above.

actually alumalight would work really well. i hadnt even thought of that. this weekend though im doing bushings. i got poly bushings for the front control arms and steering rack. yay for cheep black friday deals. and i should clean the filter on that grimspeed intake i got from you haha gotta clean the filter in my cobalt as well...

What bushings did you end up going with? Did you get the steering rack lockers/braces as well?

If you got steering rack lock down I would love to hear what you think of them

I got the energy suspension bushings. I didn't get the steering rack lockers but I did get poly steering rack bushings. I was gonna have a machinist buddy of mine make lockers for me at some point

Honestly the same result could be had by machining a replament from aluminium for the bushing and pressing it in.

I'm pretty handy with autodesk inventor. I use regular cad at work everyday so I've been looking at designing my own parts when it comes to braces. Cause some of the ones online are too expensive for what they are... Or not exactly the best approach there was to making the brace

I am 100% down with that!! Me and a buddy of mine who has a FRS do that every now and then when we go to BP's haha!
Edit: If you do make some parts I might buy some
