Car is almost ready to pick up from ARE. Here is what I had done:

Custom chromeoly six point cage (ala "The Chassis Shop")

At ARE they:

Installed DS loop

Replaced my bent rear wheel studs

Flanged my ORY and my Cat Ypipe for easy
switching back and forth for emissions

Fixed my hard start (CMP P0342) problem.

Installed the battery in the trunk with Kill switch.

I can't wait to pick up the car and have a look at the cage etc.

Car is finally coming along and I wont have to worry about tech anymore hehehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Now I just need to lighten/add more power enough for 10s... <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Then the spray comes out hehehe <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Cheers,
Chris

Chris,

I bent my 1/2 studs his last season. I was launching at 6,500 rpms also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Now we have the 5/8 studs in the Hot Rod now. I think that they should hold up very well. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Good luck this season. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

CHRISPY
