Project Bad Penny - more changes because done is boring

[jtomas801]

I only ran once.. and found my clutch was truly FUBAR.. I would hit the gas and nothing would happen for a bit.. it was like I had a 4,500 stall converter. Still ran a 39.. she's on the lift right now waiting for parts to show up.. mounting up my R888s for next weekends Porsche autocross.

Well, that explains it! Hopefully you didn't hurt the clutch setup to much. Is the Porsche autocross at El Toro?

Thanks,
Jon

Well they must be wrong since my stepped lip Forgelines are 18x12 with a 6" backspace.. I would call Scott over at Forgeline and ask.. maybe Intro just can't do it?? Also, remember that these at three piece rims.. inner hoop.. outer hoop and center.. maybe Intro is talking about a two piece wheel?

I bet that is it, because we were definitely talking two piece.

I'm waiting on the fronts to get done at Forgeline.. right now I'm rollin' two tone. lol

When you see both on the car you realize how different the two finishes make the car look, it's night and day. I will dig up a shot with both colors on the car.

[MattG]

boy, you weren't kidding about the difference. Those Mickies are HUGE!! I like the gunmetal better by the way...

Thanks for the update Steve, I love the wheel choice so now I can copy them and act like a genius at the local cruise in for making the perfect choice on my wheels, Ha!

Thanks guys.. can't wait until the new fronts show up.. BTW.. front wheels are for sale if anyone is interested..

Spent the day FINALLY installing my Safecraft Halon fire system.. uses a 5-lb bottle.. two emitters in the engine bay and one under the dash... better safe than sorry and I'm surprised more people don't run one given the cost of the system versus the cost of a burnt down car.

PM sent.

Do you have to have an oxygen mask if you have to deploy the Halon or do you think you'll have time to hold your breath and get out?

[LUACE]

not to get off subject... but is that a tiger cage you have? noticed the bolt in bar...

The FAA still recommends it for Aircraft, it's way more effective than other products LB for LB.

That is a Tiger Cage... Or at least the LOGO for it on the bracket.
As far as the fire retardants go... I have unfortunatly had the oppertunity to taste both Halon and dry chemical.... I'll take Halon any day. AND If possible, I would hold my breath...

Not to speak for Steve, but he does not have a Tiger Cage in his car. Cage was done years before he bought the car for drag racing. I am gong to guess what you see is the Tiger Cage clamps used to hold the bar to mount the fire system.
