My S197 Project build thread

[US-1]

We put one on mine before Bristol last year due to the heat up there. I can now run the pump and the fan for four minutes when I come back from a pass and the car goes from 195 to 0 in that time frame. By the time I'm done with the log book after each run the car is cool. Perfect.

Ok lets keep this thread going. Last night I did the rear seat delete and my Fx1 pro installs. Here is the break down, The rear seat top and bottom weigh 25 pounds. So -25 pounds there. Then I took all the plastic pannels off to gain access to the rear deck lid and take the rear seat belt assemblys out along with some brackets that hold the back seats. -9 pounds with all the small pieces. The MMR Rear seat delete is made of thin wood and cloth so that added +9 pounds back on which is fine because I broke even by loosing the brackets. By switching to the Corbeau seats I dropped -42 pounds. I havnt added the harness bar or seat belts which will gain some weight back on but thats for another day.

So total weight lossed

-67 pounds

Everything back in with the rear seat delete and the new seats

That picture is sick man, absolutely. Where did get the 2.5 inch cowl from?

 

[Matt D]

It's a 2.5" cervinis cowl

Well, I don't like short front tires but I got to tell you, that stance worked out and it looks absolutely killer! Is the front lowered at all?

Can you post up some more info / thoughts on the seat install? I am going with that exact seat--what brackets did you use? Do you have any part #'s?

 

[chad05gt]

Matt,
Car looks great! There is one thing you will have to change in order to run Super Stang at the NMRA. You cannot run the bias ply ET Streets. Has to be the Radial version.

Other than that.....looking good!

 

[Matt D]

The car is lowered on eibach springs.

The part number for the seat brackets are

#E1603T
#E1602T

Not sure what side is what, but its a direct bolt in no bs, just enjoy

Doesn't Jim jr. run the bias plys??? I'm about 90% sure he was running them at the Columbus race on the Yellow car.
