The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build

[Senor_Taylor]

Got my new RA1s mounted and they'll be staying on the car as its "Street" tire as well as back ups at the track and for Rain. Practically new 205/50/15 RRs mounted as well and those will be my "track" tire. Picked up a new helmet and HANS at OGRacing this weekend and also snagged a wheel and hub so I could go ahead and delete my airbags.

Pulled maybe another 80+ lbs out of the car by pulling the rest of the carpet except a small patch in the drive floor area. Pulled a ton of wiring out as well as the airbags and more of the dash. The car has been sitting with a pretty steep rake so I removed the rear spring pads to try to drop it some more. Also adjusted my headlights and removed the hood insulation. Most importantly, I replaced the alternator that has been dying since I bought the car. I suspected the high pitch whine was the alternator, and that thought was confirmed last weekend when the alternator stopped charging correctly at high RPM. Popped in a Bosch unit and the car sounds much better and also doesn't have any idle dip when turning on high load electronics anymore. She's ready for Hyperfest!
