RTS. 17x4.5 on the front if they will fit? Im looking for a set I can test fit my spindles. if not I have to order one a find out myself.

I think Im gona get black. I have my polished gregweld/prostars Im gona use use at track wheels.


The improved racing oil pan baffle came in the other day. This thing is really nice, I didnt get any pics. I get that in when I pull the trans out to get freashed so I can shift fasst agian. Gona sent it to RPM, and get a quick time bell housing from them also. I think I can get the oil pan off with the trans out with the motor in the car, Ive done it on some other cars. With the BMR Kmember is should be easy.


Got most of the seat brace done, came out the way I wanted. One bolt to get the seat out (plus the stock nuts on the floor) and nothing poking off the rollcage, and light weight alum. Nick at new era welded it for me, came out really nice. Fit the profile perfect. Just have to weld the steel tabs to the seat bar, and paint it.

Spent a bunch of time on the dyno, tested a lot of different exhaust setups. After about 20 pulls noticed messages on the shop phone, some crazy lady about the cops coming, and it was almost 11pm I lost track of time. haha Have to get some more tubing, and weld some new things up a little different still but found out alot.


Nick welded the seat tabs in so thats done, just gota get better hardware. And paint them, and touch up other spots anyway. Did it with the carpet it in, and the car on the dyno One time he was using his knee on the pedal with a leg over the console or some weird thing like that.

Trailer video for WCF, my dumbass is in there.

Pulled the trans the other day, still not sure if I should just get a freshened, or get it faceplate? Some of the little things, like manual steering when driving slow. The skinny front tires handling. I kinds miss the stock way there


Noticed the trans mount is getting a little beat? Not sure why it looks like it getting twsited? anyone see this? The TA is not mounted on it, and I have poly engine mounts, so it not like it moves around alot?

looks like you overtightened the trans mount bolt and twisted the insert a little if you only used 1 mounting bolt. If you used two, then the motor was definitely moving around on you.
