Hey I guess its been awhile since I poked around on here.
Thanks for posting up some of the pics,I'm not a shutter bug so I didn't go nuts with pics while building.
I'm been changing the thing so much in the last couple years its been some time since it was last weighed(I have a couple minor things for this upcoming season than I'll cornerweight it properly again)but with the 20vgze engine and different cage,only some composite panels it weighed 1718lbs.
I've tracked what I've removed versue installed and I think with the 4agte,big fmic,complete composite body,15 gal cell and well braced 8 point cage with the nascar door bars and I'm thinking it'll be right around the the 1800lb mark.A little heavier than I'd hoped but the CG is much improved over a steel roofed car with the usual cage with diagonal door bar.
The boost is set at 14 lbs currently(pushes though a quad carb set-up)and should be making close to 200whp so power to weight is pretty good.
I'm building a new ice race car right now so the corolla is resting in the enclosed trailer untill the ice car is done and moved out of the garage,I can get some further pictures later.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

I'd like to make a trek into the states for a time attack or something next season,all depends on how the finances play out in light of the current down turn.
I don't see me making it all the way to texas however.

If you come to the states and do not see Texas you will miss the best part.
Let me think,where did I put my passport.

I'd love to go to texas,kinda far for my limited budget though.I'd love to find a sponsor or 2 but ones I've had in the past frankly weren't worth the effort I put into keeping them informed and happy.
