Uncovered the Oval for the first time in about 2 months and got excited today! Me and Fonz worked on her all day and have gotten stuck in to modifying the rear suspension coil over mounts for multi-adjustable pivot points. Hopefully will be able to dial the rear suspension in for the next race at the end of October at Shakespeare County Raceway. Also, got some 8 inch rear Ercos to go on shortly with Mickey T's 8 inch slicks. The larger sidewall is in theory good for another 6 mph so should be able to see 141 mph @ 7,500 rpm Keeno |

They're very thorough in Germany. Obviously! Do you have an 'artists impression' of what the rear suspension coil over mounts might look like yet? |

Cheers Ron I think Gyles is already commited to the quest for Ida's and higher compression. It seems you have spurred him on with the impressive et's your car is laying down! |

Squarebacks rule gyles I reckon the best thing you could do for your times is a more modern drag radial out back, or maybe a set of M&H DOT's. One of the guys in our club has run DOT's and slicks and sees little difference between them, so those M&H's must hook up hard (he runs lows 12's on the motor and regular mid 11's on NOS in a full weight, all steel, full interior etc. regulalry street driven bug). Also, while they look, sound and just plain ARE awesome, I don't think you'll see a huge leap from the IDF's to the IDA's. |

My can ran so much better on the new 8 inch Mickey Thompsons - coupled with the new rear suspension setup the car went a whole second quicker! 11.3 down to 10.3. Get them sticky tyres sorted Gyles! I have a spare pair of 6 inch Ercos you can borrow... |

Cheers for the offer Matt, but I have spare 6" rims already. Just don't leave your shop unlocked without keeping an eye on those MT's!  |
