Nicely done Mike.

I added some edging trim to my side covers, but it doesn't stay in position very well.

Just hurry up and get the RR-Racing supercharger kit! Lol.

That way you ditch the covers anyway!

It's a tricky job to do right, but looks like you nailed it.

What's next?!

Cheers.

I can't say how useful it is at this point, but I'm just trying to tighten up the chassis as much as possible.. The bolts at those pivots points are tightened, and it appears it would prevent some lateral movement.

Hopefully I'll notice some improvement (better lap times) next time I'm on the track at Summit Point.. Stay tuned.

Thanks.. Supercharger?? I wish! $10K is a lot to drop on a mod, so that's not going to happen anytime soon. Plus, there are plenty of other things I want to improve on first.. I'd like to get some lightweight wheels & stickier tires for the track next spring.

Only rubbing is on the front fender liner when reversing too quickly. Other than that there is absolutely zero rubbing what so ever. Also on stock suspension.
