:bigtup: On a car related note. Cage is in and fits amazing. RJ Profab did the job. We went to the track today and waited literally 6hrs for rain delays before we went home. Oh well. 9s will have to wait for another day. ---

> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Man, I really want to see this run again… I’d bet it goes a little quicker. 😉 So tonight we were messing with the chassis some. Rear suspension swapped to double adjustable shocks that were 2" lower. However now my exhaust is resting on the rear. Ill race it as is though. But it might hurt weight transfer. We shall see… ---

Is that going to make a disturbing metal “clunk” as the exhaust hits when you launch? ---

Likely. It certainly isn’t ideal. But I just don’t think I will mess with it today. I have a few options. My 4link setup is adjustable at the springs so I could take the leaf mounts apart and raise them about 1" I could go to a 30" tire which should raise the rear 1" 🙂 (I like this one) Heat up and bend/hammer exhaust for more room Replace leaf springs with stiffer units Honestly all of these need to be done at some point but I will probably add them to the winter list. So a few weeks from now lol ---

I’m just thinking in terms of pants-shitting when you’re on track. If you launch hard and hear a concerning sound maybe you’ll pucker up and ruin you time 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=51) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=53)
