Figured it was time for a new thread.
She was $1600 actually. 🤑 and its about half the length of the Cobra's shaft.
Ohhh a qa1 shock absorber and driveshaft. Sweet!
We got some new engine parts!
We were going to have to take points for using ITR pistons so just figured might as well go all out! We haven't really fully decided yet but if our points get to high we may use this engine for lemons and just use a stock b20 for Champ. I guess only time will tell what happens!
If everything goes to plan, which it hasn't yet this week. I will be getting the car back from muffler shop, then I have to completely sand the car and take it tonight to the paint shop so it can get sprayed tomorrow. Then I have next week to decal it and finish odds and ends before I go to start a new job living 3 hours away from the car which I need to feel good about for Road Atlanta.
I'll ask again,,,, How many points is a set of pistons?
I don't know yet I couldn't find pistons on the list.
Working on actually getting some headlights into the Cobra, so many things to fix in time for Road Atlanta.
They're actually out of a Rolls Phantom Coupe.
I'm begging, can someone please talk me out of it? Why is this a bad idea?
Because maybe you like a challenge...you have enough room in the trailer for two cars?
Correct. When I read your post saying you would have to take points for ITR? pistons, I got curious since it's an item we've discussed in TAC conversations.
I thought maybe you checked with tech and got a point value for them.
I talked to a guy a while back and if i remember correct he said he took points (i think 10) for ITR pistons. I was going off what they had said but checking the sheet I can't find pistons on it at all.
I got all my old rusted and frozen rear brake bolts out yesterday. Just waiting now for the new lines and calipers. Then I put the new injectors in our D16 motor. Finished up the day taking the fuse box out. I'll start wiring up the switch panel using the factory harness.
Fire extinguisher went off in the trailer on the ride home from Barber. I guess the pin slipped out/wasn't put back it.
Finally got the car car up on jackstands after what seemed like three straight weeks of rain.
Doing some splitter repairs and a and a new steering rack in preparation for RA. Need to get some hands on a level to see if we pass the fender rule.
