Konig rewinds....I had them powdercoated white which was a mistake as it added more wieght to the wheels....not really what you want on a track car, I will purchase another set as I do like the design for the slicks but they will remain silver and light

Looks amazing. Definetly a nice track car.

What suspension do you plan on running?

**Knockenwelle** · 01-15-2009, 10:44 PM

Comments and remarks welcome, please be kind I will post pics of underside tomorrow

just an observation, your load paths aren't that great.

diagonal bar from the bottom of the passenger side b-pillar to the top of the drivers side b-pillar should intersect where the other two tubes meed.

Same for the diagonal that goes from the bottom of the driverside c-pillar to the top of the passenger side b-pillar... looks good at the c-pillar end, but should be moved over on the b-pillar side.

your horizontal bar should be moved down about an inch to meet up with the door braces.

other than that the car looks like it will be fun! I'd recomend a 3.73lsd for a rear end, I love it in my car with the M20.
