Small update.
Installed the front Suspension pieces and got to work on the ARP heavy duty studs tonight.
Looking a lot better than last years set up. Still not as good as a lot of people's out there but headed in the right direction.

Well I finally got everything together.
With karts link putting the rear studs in was a breeze. Front studs were super easy.
Have taken it for a couple test drives and full soft feels like.... terrible.
I put it full stiff just to test it out and it feels better but still understeers. I have to play with it a bit more and get an alignment.

Friends cars. Helped me put my stuff together. Thanks!

Here she is finished.
She'll win some. She'll lose some. But she's a little more ready to scrap than she was last year.

Still understeers though. We will see how it handles after alignment and some more tweaking.

Based on that Mustang's line, I'm guessing it was his first track day?

Great looking Z, I'm jealous of your garage setup.

Nice driving on your part! Looks like the mustang struggled to find a line. His rear end started coming around a couple of times toward the end, looks like the pressure you had him under was getting to him.

Nice and smooth driving. Thanks for the help with my brake temps yesterday! I was only able to go two laps at a time before they started to fade. Lol then again it was my very first time and my setup is nowhere near ideal for the track. But man it was fun!

Thanks bros. Really hope to get the gremlins ironed out. My left front tire is not looking good. Rookie mistake.
Nice to meet timmy and Silvia.
Somehow this video has 237 views in one day? That's a lot for me.

Nice meeting you too! Did you figure out what was causing the smoke? Too bad we didn't have any time on track close to each other.

The smoking is oil burning.

The power loss? I am not sure yet.
