Been there done that so definitely appreciate independent builders.

The Junk Box weighs 2510 without me in it right now. To get the car to drop even more serious weight, would take a lot of money and time. As said, there's no unlimited funds and time for this. Another thing people don't realize is that my car has a full certed 12 point cage and all the safety equipment to run. From the cage, to the fire suit to a fire extinguisher in the car. That added a lot of weight to the car and I mean a lot. If i didn't have all that, the car would be 150lbs lighter just right there. But its legal to race the car and has the safety equipment that I don't have to worry about.

I'm glad to see the RS coming back together and ready to tear up the track for the end of the season! Do you guys plan to run a full cage in the car? Looking forward to seeing more updates!

The TE37's fooled me they looked bronze in the first pics but look black in the ones above

I vote for a PPG gearset, Ikeya shifter, and CO2 shifted

Ikeya shifter can be manually rowed. I would have one on a drag car.

you can't row a sequential shifter, you can only pull back for next gear.

Polished up the purple valve cover... and that's dry carbon in the background. Still have the hood and trunk!

They are screwed through the rim and into the tire (slick). You run very low tire pressure in the slicks, and in order to prevent the slick from separating from the wheel you screw the two together.
