R-R-Quest Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Congrats, John. Third overall is quit and achievement, and you beat out a couple AWD cars at that! I look forward to seeing your car in person some day. Hopefully 'in action'!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsTKl Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) that sounds like a cool event. Any links to the full results? (like who scored what in what events, how much hp people put down etc). I was offended by MIQ's description of the oem interior. They sounded like they were talking out their tail. Also what was your quarter time? Edited October 3, 2013 by TsTKl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what was your quarter time? Modified put it on their web site.. Not exact numbers though. My best time was 12.6. Not too bad considering what I put her through that day.

Convette Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks man. Small update Since being invited to SEMA and to race in Optima Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational, I've been hustin to get the car ready. Its been tough since its my daily driver, and need it to get to work. I made new canards for the front, larger and stronger. This weekend I need to make some better brackets for my splittler, and work on a new one for the rear. Trying my best to get a tire sponsor, and some other much needed parts. Problem is...I'm out of time and the car runs great. I have no real reason to mess with anything. I know I will be down on power, but I can make up for that in corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Made some brackets, new canards, and finally changed my front control arm bushings. I figured while I have them out, I might as well make them stronger. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/IMAG0898_zps7f74314b.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/IMAG0903_1_zps4a18a29d.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/IMAG0902_zpsa8f86bc3.jpg I have to say it's absolutely amazing, idk why I waited so long to do this. I had a mystery noise, for months now, it drove me crazy trying to find it... this was it. Soo good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-R-Quest Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I assume your already out in Nevada. Any last minute updates before the big day Saturday? How does the suspension feel after the beefed up control arms? Anyhow, your probably pretty busy, but if you get a chance, let us know how it's going. Best of luck to you at the Challenge! -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
