Default got some completed pics of the car/motor

Okay guys here goes... Took the car for a little spin down the road and got my buddies camera to take some pics since mine is freaking out. Sorry about the gleam and fog look in some of the pics. My buddy was trying something new with his camera or he was previously taking glamour shots of himself... Either way i've got a video of the car idling later on down there somewhere.... Years of work finally coming to this. I have to connect a few wires to make my tranny temp gauge work and put on some interior panels when i'm done (like under the steering wheel) but other than that she's complete and ready to be scaled..... I'm working on uploading the video right now and it'll be up in a few minutes or so......

When the car gets scaled we are going to center the tires front to back (I have madman outlaw lca's and they are adjustable).... However my back bumper is trimmed so it might give the appearance that the tires are closer to the front than they actually are. The rear bumper used to be closer but i trimmed it for my ET Drags... I'll ask Theo what he thinks about the current location of the tire and we'll just extend the lca's.... Yes Track times to come at sac provided they prep the track well..... I am not allowed to run on wednesdays anymore so it'll have to be either a saturday grudge or a friday test n tune...

ya trimming the that bumper does throw your eye off... but you are going at it the right way with getting it balenced on all 4 corners! not messing around!

good luck finding a good day where the track is prepped! lol even on sat. now they dont prep it... it sucks big time! but i went to a Chasis Works et event and they prepped the track very nice enough to hook my 150 shot and just break through the ring gear! haha

Sac has gone downhill on track prep... The only days I've had it hook was the saturday night grudge or special event days like when they run ET points races.... maybe it's from the assload of cars laying down rubber or they prep it really well i don't know.... i'll probably end up going to Infineon if I want the best times... they always prep the track.....

You want to set the rear to the motor plate or the front of the engine block if possible. The rear end is going to want to follow the motor.
