Grrtrude - Ready to go

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:30 am

My thoughts are that a side exit would probably be laying on the ground seeing as I'm using 3" pipe and the closer to the ground the car is, the more aerodynamic it is. I'm leaning toward just a turn down right in the middle of the car.

The 8 point is almost done. Ran out of gas late last night, so had to postpone until this afternoon. I'll just run that until someone says I have to use the front loop.

I also got the motor all put back together how I want it, and it's ready to go. Once I finish the chassis stuff today, it's just drivetrain, and then I can drop it all back together and get the daunting wiring task done.

Another update... Cage is done all the way. New transmission is built. Yes let's do get motor mounts. Then I can just wire it up and race it.

Looks good! Much different than last time I was in her.

You can probably remove those stock seatbelts now.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:54 am

Yea, probably. You can have em if you want em.

hul kogan · Post by **hul kogan** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 12:57 pm

I'm good, I have enough uninstalled/useless stock belts sitting around.

What harnesses are you running?

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 1:28 pm

Actually haven't bought them yet. Any suggestions are welcome.

takata for baller status

hul kogan · Post by **hul kogan** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:26 am

^ Heh, those would be so random on this car! Probably look kinda sweet with the red, though.

I have Corbeau's and quite enjoy them. Sparco's are also nice as well. Hell, there are tons of companies. But I've always had good dealings with those two.

Going 5 point, or 6?

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:29 am

5 point. Anything else is unneccessary. Simpson's got some stuff that seems decent and reasonably priced. I may have to go that route. But I'll check on the Corbeau and Sparco ones as well. As far as the Takata ones, I took one look at the price, and decided JDM is for dummies.

The brands I know off the top of my head are:

RJS
RCI
Simpson
Impact

All are available in a variety of colors.

I'm sure there's a few others if you check Summit and Jegs.

Looks like an angry chipmunk. RACECAR!!

Just got the motor back in it. Woot! It's barely hanging there though. I can't find the torx bit for the passenger side mount... I guess I'll have to dig in the piles of tools some more. I really should stay more organized.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 8:26 am

Thanks, but it would be cheaper to just buy one than ship it.

I don't happen to have it, do I Erick?

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 11:28 am

Haha... who knows. I kinda doubt it. I pulled the motor out somehow.
