Congrats Kim 
The zonker looks incredible! With the mods you did the title of Director fits the bill perfectly although you are well on your way to probationary status due to the potential speed of your zonker. 
I really hate to ask how much it all cost <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
BTW what sizes you went with the MPSC's?

Wow -- gorgeous shots and great write up! Congrats on bringing "the car formerly known as the yellow bus" out West! Glad to see she has wound up in enthusiast/rennlist hands and getting the chance to sample some of our finer road courses. Have a blast with Tracquest on Friday. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

In all seriousness Kim, the car looks great. I couldn't be happier for you. It stings a little that you made all the changes I laid awake at night dreaming about, and then first day out you drove her on the one road course that I HAVE to race on before I die. But I am thrilled the yellow bus went to such an enthusiastic owner who could treat her the way she deserves to be treated.
Congrats and thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing the yellow bus on the top of the PCA club racing podium in the future. And then I can smile knowing that I am responsible for the seat or something else small that you didn't change. LOL!

Kim,
Car looks awesome!! Congrats. What spring rates did you go with. I found that after a year on 600-800lb springs that the car needed more to keep from rolling over and lifting.
If Todd does another March event at LS, I will be there if at all possible.
Also EJ had sent me a picture of the interior and I really liked that billet shifter. Can you get me the contact info for Rothsport?

Kim,
I will contact Steve off line. Thanks for the info.
I realized I needed to add more spring when I was getting six inches or more of inside wheel lift. The car was just squating on its hind end. We went with 1100/1250 and in a dual spring set up it was more compliant than a single spring 600/800 set up.
What did you get the weight down too? (The cars that is. )
