Two 4ft lengths of 4"*2" with the ends cut at an angle will do the job. The starter ramps don't need to be wheel-width as their only purpose is to raise the front of the car up a couple inches onto the ramps

I gave her a bath after a full private track day at Buttonwillow and tucked her to sleep until next time.

Big thanks... I was about to buy some $300 Race ramps... I'll try the DIY board approach first.

Tarett: "Hi there, what can I do for you?"
ski35off: "I'll take it"
Tarett: "Excuse me, was there something specific you want?"
ski35off: "No, I'll take all of it"
Tarett: "All of what?"
ski35off: "Yes all of it"
Tarett: "Gotcha"

For those who aren't feeling the yellow...

Maybe bc i grew up getting into cars in the late 80's and 90's... And also used to follow WRC... but I LIKE THE YELLOW HEADLIGHTS! I wouldn't touch the DRLs.

headlights are enough. less is more.

Finishing up wrap. Opinions appreciated on the yellow lights. Looks unfinished to me. Think either need to do the drl's also or go back to clear.



And surprise accent work.

From left to right (and top to bottom):
  • Swift 448 lb/in front springs and helpers
  • Tarett front monoball camber plates (race design) - allows more camber adjustment and more flexibility to accommodate a wider tire
  • Tarett front drop links (red) - eliminates anti-roll bar pre-load to allow proper corner balance
  • Tarett front tie rods (black) - allows for toe adjustment and bump steer correction
  • Tarett thrust arm bushings - prevents dynamic caster changes under load and also allows for caster adjustment (the black "rings" above and below are adapter spacers - they come with the bushings)
  • Tarett cup monoball lower control arm ends for front - camber adjustment with shims (cup version has longer threads for more camber)
  • Tarett thrust arm bushings - I ended up not using these for the rear since the OEM bushings are solid and I didn't need the adjustment
  • Tarett monoball lower control arm ends for rear - camber adjustment with shims
  • Tarett rear drop links (red) - eliminates anti-roll bar pre-load to allow proper corner balance
  • TPC Racing rear offset toe links (silver) - toe adjustment with offset to reduce toe deviation; for use with DSC Sport controller (coming)
  • Tarett adjustable toe link lockout kit - to prevent slipping
  • Swift 560 lb/in rear springs and helpers

LOL. Pretty much. I did use the TPC Racing rear offset toe links instead, and I ended up returning the thrust arm bushings for the rear since I didn't need them.

Thanks to Orthojoe's track ramblings thread, Katmeho's track journal thread and myBailey07's GT4 track setup wiki thread for the direction. You guys paved the way and made it easy for me to figure out what to buy. I'm super sad to hear of myBailey07's passing. RIP.

Did you wrap your white GT4 mooty, I see a white door handle, or is that a different PTS one?
Looks like Voodoo or Maritime.
