That is a PRO move! Greg, you not only design and make well-thought out products but it's your attention to fine details like this that are golden. Can't wait to see/hear this beast!

Keep in mind that I have to work on these cars, too.

Loosening/removing headers for clutch access sucks on the very best day. I'm not even fond of having to drop the cat and rear mufflers on a stock car to get to the clutch.

I moved everything out so far that to change a clutch with my exhaust, we don't even touch the exhaust system.

Note that the Devek bar is gone. BTF ( before the fire) I found the big front bar gave me a bit too much push. I'm sure that there are lots of arguments pro and con, but I like a car that is a bit tail happy if I have a choice.

You do have a choice to an extent. If you are using stock rubber then for hard cornering the front is a bit undertyred and the car thus understeers by design. Fitting a Devek bar to a 928 with stock wheels/rubber is somewhat pointless in that the last thing it needs is a stiffer front end. Fitting something like Louie's rear links gives the option to stiffen the rear end a bit and thus induce something a bit more in the direction of oversteer.

However, if you are running stock wheels/rubber just stick with the stock setup unless you intend to hit the track at all.

I'm probably projecting from my position as a relatively unskilled driver, but if I were you I think I'd get used to the new power levels before making it too tail happy.

GregBBRD

Huge increases of instant power, like this car will have, do make throttle oversteer an issue.

Suspension modifications will not help with this "problem".

Adjustments of the right foot are the only cure.

Its like owning a Ducati. You don't go knee dragging everyday just because you can. Power is always good and the key is not to break it or oneself. I don't have any burning desire to do track days and after racing sport cars for 20 + years, that ship has sailed for me anyway. I am considering a trip to Maine and back to visit an uncle. Oh I forgot the Silver State adventure, going thru the traps and 210mph... yep, been there.

Dang I was just looking at a Ducati.....

What a beautiful engine GB has built! I love details, I live for details, details actually matter in engines - and in arguments -- debates on any sort of subject are successful in the details. Even the long unique bolts on the lower A Arms are made of steel that hold the rubber air dam/shields in place are clean and orderly! However, I need 1 of these bolts as I lost one due to massive rust-out and breaking one -- and I have yet to find one like it at any Fastenal store -- but, most of the time I find success at that store is in the mettle of the employee willing to dig into the system to find the bolt - remember details?

Is there a fastener supplier in your area? Here in Oakland/Berkeley there are two companies that you can buy nuts and bolts of all shapes. Bolin and Bay Bolt. Much better selection than Fastenal and these stores will let you buy 1 of something. I have even found the thin waffle washers. I'm sure there are suppliers in your area. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to replacing any bolt that I take out with a new one
