Need a car for testing...well, a few that is

I have a few things this year that I need to have absolutes on.

We are making a few products such as camber and caster top hats, rear lower control arms that actually help the car's driving characteristics and not leave it stock like some others, rear bump steer kits and a few little things here and there.

One more thing that might interest someone is the testing I need for the MAP EFR series turbo's. Originally I wanted some mild types of cars to see the real world differences but now with a couple people lined up...I want to have everything across the board from mild to wild.

PM Me for some more details and we can start getting things working...obvious incentives are in line.

That's actually what I'm doing right after the coating gets done. There are D cuts in it for the weight loss aspect of it but it's still almost twice the size at about 1.4 inches larger in square diameter.

Once I get them in, I'll do a write up with the comparison in weight as well as the points of contact as those have changed, bringing the strut closer allowing for more travel in the system as well as dynamic control of the suspension.

I'm interested for sure. I'm from MI, and travel there often, but I live in KY right now. IL isn't too far of a drive for me.

Mark. PM me about the clutch job you guys did 5k miles ago on my car. Disk torn to pieces and pressure plate totally jacked up. Flywheel and pressure plate have three distinct hot spots. Uneven wear. One of two thinga. Either plate eas torqued wrong kr flywheel machined horribly. Kind of pissed. Strictly is putting a quartermaster in right now. Have pics of clutch after it was pulled. Also ACD was not bled and transfercase fluid was old as hell. Not drained just filled clearly.
