Talking Porsche or Lightning? (race pix)

Here's shots of me driving my 5000lb porsche around last weekend. Soon I will take down that Carrera-4 ahead of me in the standings. :)




Just for reference, you can see I've done some suspension work, this was a shot last season of the body roll that I've since reduced:



I definately need to get my harness setup though, it is hard to hold yourself in place in our stock seats. :) lol... I have full-res shots if someone is building a Lightning photo collection.

Hey, my suspension set is:

ROUSH Springs (front & rear)
HAL QA1 Shocks (front & rear)
Hotchkis SwayBars (front & rear)
M&M Sports Panhard

It gives me a 2" drop and a much stiffer ride....the shocks are adjustible.

Currently the R compound tires I'm running are BFG Comp R1A's, but they are now "out of print"... I havn't found a suitible replacement yet, so when I wear these out I'm searchin...

Lookes nice. I've been wanting to do something to my truck to help it out in the twisties. I was thinking about a new front sway bar and a rear one. What size did you go with?

I'm also thinking new shox,

Talking Tires to get

I am in the same position, when the current set of R1's are done, I want to get some Hoosier DOT radials:

part#,..size,...............width,dia,...circ,...r ec.rim,.rim,...section
45835, P305/30ZR-18, 11.8", 25.6", 80.4", 11-12", 11.0", 13.1"
45840, P335/30ZR-18, 12.7", 25.6", 80.4", 12-13", 12", 13.6"

They might need the wheels to be widened, but you are in ESP anyway...

Black -- I think I'm going to try the Goodyears Spike posted up...if not, I'd be willing to try those Hoosier 305's. The thing that was nice about the BFG's were they were not very much shorter then the stock fire.

Spike -- Thx, I'll have to check those out!

Capt -- :P :P :P

Nostro -- Was great to see you there again! One of these days, you'll have to bring the beast...Bring it to one that does Solo2 rankings though, you'll be on more level competition in F-stock then in Grouppe D.
