Rob Meathead Racing could provide you with trackside support if you need it. Looking forward to seeing you out at the school. What class are you planning on running this season?
Nick,

I'm going to run ITE, a catch all for fast cars. The ITE lap record at SP Main is a 1:17

Could you get me an estimate for all 3 days and for Sunday only?

Matt,

Congrats on the BSR instructor sign-off

Roll bar is out.

Cross threaded seat belt bolt putting it back together.

I hate cars.

Hopefully i can save the threads by chasing them (after I special order a M12 x 1.25 tap). Maybe Racelabz can weld and recut the threads for me. Did i mention that I hate cars?

Yes, I understand. I installed the stabilizer bar I bought from Skip today. Things are not right. It rubs both steering boots and is closer to the brake lines coming off of the Koni brackets than I would like.

I am not even sure who made that bar, so I really can't search for help. (I trust Skip, when he says something is good 100%) I am beginning to think they may have longer links for an AP2? Skip, I am sure you have the answers.

Mcmaster.com is great for these sort of things. Bolts. taps. etc

I stripped out the welded nut that holds the front upper arms on my AP1, They had the right size to fix it.

Lou, adjustable end links?

I had those on every track car, S2000, Vette and Miata.

Actually, the end links appear to be too long. They are adjustable, but were already as short as they get. The only other option I see is loosening the tension with those holes, but that defeats the purpose of the bigger bar.

I installed it as Skip had it and loaded the suspension with jack stands before tightening the bushings.
