    Floyd's City #180 - 2006 SS/SC - 3rd Round

    This is awesome Floyd! I love to see all the 90% plus fine detail items I never got to make it further along. Only thing I'd mention is those are the 3rd set of control arms (thought they were finally matching). That's craziness. Took me a bit to find matching axles as well when I bought new...

    SOLD #180 City LSJ Stage 3, Titled & Registered in WV

    Pending right now, we're getting a 4-post lift installed in a few weeks to give some options and store 2 cars in the winter. My wife's fun car is a VW Beetle. If I can find a C8 corvette for the right price I'll probably get one. The good news (and bad news for some) is that the market for them...

    Thank you. Super bitter sweet. Loved the car but I'm sure the next car will equally put a smile on my face. It was a spray bomb job. Duplicolor metalcast anodized blue.

    What an incredible machine. It is a rocket ship. Took it to autocross with PCA at Summit Point a couple weekends ago after working out a couple kinks. Like the Porsche cars, it is a bit tail happy with the weight in the rear. Either way it's totally manageable just gotta keep the foot on the...

    This thing attracts almost too much attention. More so than my last sports car.

    It's really time to go double check and go over everything. My wife and I went out for breakfast today. In the middle of the drive the car just goes silent in town. We push it to the side and I look over the rear fuse box. I don't see anything immediately concerning. I turn the key back to the...

    I've got a press. I think I will give it a shot. I'll try the freeze new bushing and cut the old one out like I've seen others do.

    I've been told WV is very kit car friendly. WV DMV took my money and gave me tags. (they are temporary tags, but I'm hopeful that it will go through). There was definitely a lot of back and forth, odd looks, pauses, questions and so on. The major items were -DF Kit Car MCO -Invoice printed...

    Funny enough I have them. Just need to install them. Probably should grab the prothane ones too while I'm at it. Now just need to find someone to press them in for me.

    Yeah I'll pull the rear tires and double check everything. I dropped rear tire pressure to 22 and front to 19. Getting tags next week so I should know a bit more when I can actually get it on the road

    Hagerty Insurance

    Thank you for this tip. It took a bit to get someone to help. A lot of back and forth too! Progressive Classic with a local agent - but I didn't even bother trying to call their main number.

    The prop valve made all the difference. Eye ball popping really. I have it set to the front just starts to lock up before the rear. I'd rather face a situation where the car pushes a bit than lose the rear end and it comes around. Insurance came through. Progressive Classic. Hagerty was a...

    With the harnesses in was comfortable giving it some more throttle. All I can say at this point is it's incredible. May have made the wife nauseated... Hahaha Too much brake at the moment. I think I'll probably end up with a vacuum reducer and proportioning valve so I can send more to the...

    This worked out better than I had hoped for. The 1/2" PEX, with Polybutylene adapter was great. Parking brake works amazingly.

    Sent you the link. It's an ebay dealio. I really wanted a nine lives wing but cost was a huge factor. This is close enough. I did have to add some spacers.
