I;ve only ever run it in one configuration but I've seen videos with other clubs of at least 3 more configs using chicanes in various places and elminating some elements.

Shenandoah can be set with many config. With or without the carousal. There's also a bus stop just before the bridge, I've run that before. There are cars that will catch air at the bridge on the center of the track, I was catching a little air on Saturday.

Car is done at RT!

All problems fixed. Few embarrassing things - every alignment bolt was loose, guess thats what happens when you do alignment with busted rib, no powa to tighten things.
Rear brake pad shim plate was popping out, I somehow missed the pins.. LOL

Air works, boost leak test is done, holding over 20 lbs. I had a bad PCV, a leaky sensor on intake manifold, various leaks around car.

Antifreeze was being caused by a bad radiator cap (Greddy). I was double the antifreeze pressure than normal which was causing the slow leak.

Car is good, just need to get stock suspension on there. The wheels I have are rubbing in 2 spots, stinking Robispec wheels are a goofy offset. Prolly just run stock wheels for now.

My Ohlins will probably need a rebuild. Home stretch people

Costs me $650 for just fronts and I have the R/T, the flags are probably more.
That was from Performance Shocks Inc. Chu did find a place that listed a cheaper price but he didn't send his yet.

Couple hundred with shipping. I assume the seals and everything need to be replaced, they are 4-5 years old. Even though they have less than 500 miles on them, the seals probably just wear over time regardless of use? Whatever, they are coming off car on Friday and will be up for sale. I would reduce my asking price in lieu of shocks needing rebuild.

Performance Shock typically charges 200-250 per shock...+Thai's Ohlins are a special JDM hybrid yall fools don't know about, which cost him some extra for parts.

I never said I hated Lightning. I said I hated lapping you at Lightning. I don't like making my little buddy feel bad!
Ain't a big deal. I point by anyone who is faster...

Mike, sounds like you're making some decent progress. Now you just need to get that stripe removed and you'll be in good shape.

they quoted me $200 each for standard rebuild, then called me and said there were additional seals that were not covered in the standard rebuild. my shocks had plenty of gas and no oil leaks, just worn bushings which made them clunk with lateral force (side to side)
