Beautiful car btw!

Bob, do you just aim to minimize KT for this app?

Rob, finally got on here to see all the pictures you put up. I have to say that you did a great job finishing off the interior! Good place for the G2, and I love the blue switch cover, where did you find that? The response to this car is just crazy, 17 pages!! It has been an honor to be a part of this beast of a car build. BIG props to Rob..the king of patient. The end result was way worth it (a.k.a the test drive that made my hands shake!!) and also the happy customer.

Rick -

You guys did a great job...the car is everything I wanted it to be, and was well worth the wait.

The blue switch covers I found at a local aviation supply store. :-)

Equates to 900 lb/in x 1124 lb/in springs.

I think your calculations may be off. Unless, I'm mistaken:

9 kg/mm = 506 lbs/inch

11 kg/mm = 620 lbs/inch

I have the JIC coilovers (8 kg front / 11 kg rear)

Glen-

You are absolutely correct...I went over a column too far on my chart...LOL. I'll edit above.

Also, I have the 11kg/14kg setup according to my boxes. The corrected conversion chart below:

I'll swing by in the camouflage /straight-piped car one day to keep your neighbors pissed since you don't drive it on the street any more
