Thats true, but there less money than I thought they would be. Thinking about na set for the new one I want to build.
they do indeed..nice and cheap too so you can get 2 sets going...gives you more time to play with a set while you have a set in the car.
2 sets of shocks......wow..i guess my 5 year old $70 carrera's are junk.....lol
I never said i had 2 sets....just that it allows that....haha....
Now,i know Hosking is going to say something here,shoot away big guy!!!
Even though i stopped posting here over a year ago Larry, i still drop in from time to time to laugh at some of the clowns. Since you asked, here are my thoughts. You must need someone to debate with now that your #1 pal isn't around eh?
I really don't think that a 9 inch floater would be a good idea, just from the standpoint of a floater requires rear disc. Which is not cheaper at all, leading to dual masters, trick rotors, lightweight this that and the other thing.
Non floater 9 inches should be allowed. Easier to work on, more gear selection and generally don't bust axles.
QA1's are a decent deal, but not everyone has the dough to buy 4, and have them valved (at 400 bucks plus for the "trick" setup), and a have a backup set. That is a drivers meeting thing. Let the guys who will have to buy them vote on them. Ive always been a fan of pro shocks. A spec number for each corner would be fine.
As for front wedge bolts and outboard shocks, i really don't know. I mean, it sounds like a OK idea. As long as the upper a frame mount isn't moved, the damn thing ain't gonna go a tenth faster. Just put in the rules that the shock must be mounted less than 3 inches from the ball joint, what trickery could go on there?
Headers and the 2101 are a no brainer. #1 the most efficient way of making more power, legal or not, is to get more air in more air out. At least everyone will be on a even playing field with spec parts , and they would make tech a breeze. The only actual cost will be buying the 4 barrel adaptor. And that has to be spec too, none of these slippitty slide tuneable ones.
Manual transmissions would help with oil downs, fires, special 'ahem' parts in autos, and in the long run are cheaper than slushboxes. the problem is the initial purchase price, and the fact there will still be a weight break for autos, after all they wont outlaw them, just make manuals legal. As long as the flywheel is spec'd out and the trans has ALL forward gears.
Aftermarket rear control arms, providing they are non adjustable and are factory length, should be allowed just from the standpoint that you're not going to go any faster with them, so why not?
Well that's about it Larry.
If theres not too much moaning, complaining, Keyboard toughguys, name calling and general douchery, i might even post again.
Well,ive always enjoyed and respected ur input!Thanks for posting 🙂
