Don't be raining on my parade bastard......

Seriously though, why? Is it "might as well go all out while you can" or is there an issue with the locker I should be aware of? I was going to go with a tru-trac but decided to go with the locker. I thought the locker would be more reliable, less chance of failure.

Wow, looking good Paul, I havent followed up on the build in a while, loving the front setup. Do you think that brake setup would be ok on the street or is it a track only kind of deal? I am going to get a Tubular K-member setup at some point and seeing yours just makes me want it even more now. Cant wait to see the finished product.

i like ur exhaust :) looks like mine, hey did u get that a/c pulley yet? i dont thing im using mine anymore

I did get the a/c delete pulley through GI Joe at BGG Performance. Your the one that I got the idea from. It sounds pretty good---like a cobra.

They say that its race only. I will give feedback when I drive it. The calipers look good, but the rotors have much less mass then the stock ones, so I could see how the typical driving would overheat them.

Sounds good Paul, how long till everything is complete? Im waiting for some track vids. I bet with that K-member you have alot more room to work with now to get access to under and above the car. Mind me asking how much the entire front setup was, K member, a arms and what not?

Less rotating weight and no moving parts to fail. Period. It's a real race car so put real race car shit in it, man.
