Yeah custom built cage by yours truly. Gonad I’ll eat you any day of the week :lol: Them fighting words. hehe I’m running her at Dunnville this Sunday and possibly tow her to Mosport in October and thats all for this season. Car has been good to me this year, I’ve done 7 track days since May. Gotta love stock SOHC’s with well over 265k km on them. I learned the hard way last year. This past winter I droped my money into chassis, suspension, seat and tires. Most fun I’ve had in a while. Power = waste of money. Andrew. ---

And now, last two years, such a pain. I’ve only done one thing and thats visit Cayuga, at which I ran horrible time (and blew a turbo before I went). Karma’s a bitch. ☹ There’s always next year :dunno: ---

So I parked the car last Saturday ☹ After an awfull track outing 2 weeks ago I screwed up the motor, tranny and my exhaust. I don’t think my worst off of the season helped too much. Slicks don’t seem to give warning when they loose grip :lol: ![http://www.son240sx.ca/cpgallery/albums/userpics/10140/normal_IMG_0711.JPG](http://www.son240sx.ca/cpgallery/albums/userpics/10140/normal_IMG_0711.JPG) I have a bunch of plans for her this winter though: - finish repairing what rust there is left - fabricate sidebars for cage - full multi-link (rear and front) - new inner and outer tie rods - Install the aluminum subframe bushings I’ve had collecting dust - out comes the SOHC and in goes the DOHC - lower the car more 🙂 - new steering wheel - have wheels refinished, they are getting rough - set of new toyo RA-1’s - have a new exhaust fabricated by Ian - sway bars - and I’ve been toying with the idea of dumping money into a Kaaz 1.5, my VLSD is spinning one wheel on corner exits now. I’ll update with more pictures on the weekend, I cut half of the passenger side rocker. Andrew. ---
