Some pics and videos from the last St Lawrence Auto Club event at Shannonville Motorsport Park.

Stop box stress!

 

The car seems to have enough torque to lift the inside front wheel, not unlike a strong Vette or 911. Exhaust has no Supertrapps but still has the tail pipe inserts. Next time I'll remove those as well hoping to get a better sound.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a video of the first event with the car this year. The exhaust has the inserts in and the Supertrapp tail pipes and stock ECU. Should meet the 98db noise limit for Calabogie Motorsports Park.

 

 

 

 

 

Engine bay shots.

 

 

 

THE CAR IS FINALLY PAINTED!!!!

 

 

There is also a new exhaust system which is totally tunable so I can now run at any track, anywhere regardless of their noise restrictions.

 

 

 

 

The pics do not do the car justice as it looks too red/brown and not a true burnt copper that it is. You'll have to come out and see it.
For those of you who have been watching the pole on the car color, too bad for you. I guess my heart is still with the Dodge Hemi colors.
It is from a 2006 Dodge Hemi Orange.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After one season, found this drivers side engine mount totally ripped apart! Was from a Nissan 300ZXTT. Now building a urethane unit.
