since i moved from california i have only driven my car at the track. so, i have decided to "never" use it on the street again and put it on a diet.
here is the list:
stock rebuild (in progress)
build 5 gal baffled aluminum fuel tank with external walbro fp (in progress)
fit heim joint rear links (in progress)
fit heim joint lca's
upgrade cooling (in progress)
finally install a working tach
remove dashboard
redo under dash harness and install kill switch
get rid of all glass
replace head,corner lights and grill with carbon fiber panel
align and corner balance
break in and dyno tune engine
planning on doing all this before sept. 18, hopefully i reach that goal. will start adding pics shortly.

yes, i wouldn't mind if you post them up right here. if fact we should do this a track car post for all the track cars pics and set ups from 86garage members. would be great to get some ideas.
