Good productive work man!!...I am getting closer to that build thread....

Looks like you got quite a bit done.

Matt, I can hardly wait to hear your impressions of the Strange Spoil when turning corners on the street with both wheels spinning at the same speed.

hahahaaha, I will be fine on the street... what I rear want to do is lay some vht down on a street and set the tires to 10 pounds and luanch at 45-5500 and dump the clutch

700 points? How? You plan on poisoning the entire field?




Get all the points you can, Slick. When I roll into Atco Raceway....The Onslaught begins.

If everything goes according to plan we should be at our first ever NMRA event ( Atco ) . The car will be sporting all of this years mods . Hope to see you there and check out your set up

Hey Matt... I really like the black dash with your paint color. I have no idea how you are gonna drop 100 lbs though. You are pretty well stripped as it is. Good luck either way man.

Is that a quick release steering wheel? I want one for my car so when I put the 6 point roll bar in, it will be easier for my fat ass to get in the car...

Any leads? You can PM me if you want.

When you say cut the axles is this for narrowing the rear 1" each side ? I was wondering if there is enough spline in the axles to cut each of them for narrowing the rear 1" on each side if the c clips are eliminated ? If there is then I could just cut the tips off and remove the spacer in my Truetrack an I should have the 2 " needed. I have Moser axles but I believe the spline is the same length as the stockers.

I ment just cut the C-clip part off. Right now im trying to get it done for spring break. But when I get back im going to narrow the rear end .5" on each side. The stock axle will not work, not enough spline on the ends. I will be buying strange 31 spline axles

Well I use the sparco hub and wheel, Sparco sells the quick release to adapt to any sparco 5 bolt hub. I was going to get it but it's just over $300 x.X Im still going to buy it eventually... But yea Sparco makes a nice set up

i think fleabay has them for like 100 right now

Some big let downs in the last few days

Well I just relized after grinding away on my axle tubes yesterday that Strange sent me two driver side caliper brackets -_- So right there the rear end isn't back together. SOOOOOOOO My new holeshots are suppose to be arriving today so I wasn't that depressed... Open the box's they sent me the wrong front skinnys!!!! suppose to be a one piece front they sent me the two piece -_- AND the centre caps don't even fit -_- my black carpet was suppose to come in today and it didn't Everything that could go wrong is going wrong. End of rant will have updates shortly.

Tommy is helping me out talking to strange and Jim Jr is working his magic with holeshot to get the new rims here asap. Thanks guys , it's the big manufactors that are screwing up

 

[US-1]

Sounds like a typical February at my shop.


I hate February.

 

[rford426]

Well Guess what, You ain't alone Matt.

I got a extra piece in my rims too. They told III that they will get em fixed and out by the 10th! WTF MAN! so I am told him that is fine I am running the 2 piece ones until then!

I'm so cheesed right now... im not even going to bolt up these 2 piece front's. They make me wait a month and then they show up wrong

Other then that the coating and the rims look amazing as hell. Just got word from Strange... they are just shipping the bracket by reg ground so no chance of me making fun ford next week. Who knows when I will see the new holeshots..... what fakin mess, not a good way to start the season.

 

[waketek516]

That sucks dude

 

[Matt D]

Since I have the rims I will show everyone what they look like... lol

Rears...

Here are the front's (I removed the 1" spacer for this pic, the rims are tucked right under the fender )

Black centre caps are sweet

The tires that were suppose to go on... lol had them waiting

 

[Fastmover]

Yea I told them though shit, I was using these for the race. NO WAY I am missing that race because they fucked up! Mine were in finishing and due to ship by sat night with the rears, there are getting the beadlock on them now!
