Picked up the race car from the body shop today. It looks AWESOME! Mike at Sentry Body and Paint did a kickass job with it. Both the quarter panels are fixed, the rocker is fixed, the fender from VIR is fixed, new doors are on, and everything except the roof, hood, and back bumper got a fresh coat of paint. There are no dents….at all…..
I’m ordering the new sticker scheme from KC at rallydecals.com next week, and will have the car all pimped out for the July Road Atlanta race. I took some inspiration from my old WRX and the “swooshy” scheme on that. Should be a nice mix of black and silver on the red.
Its also nice how inspiring it is to work on a straight car. Cleaned it all up today after I brought it home. The interior was absolutely filthy from spending a week with open windows in a body shop. Ended up doing the alignment as well. Front was pretty much dead on (1/16″ toe out per side). The loss of my drivers side rear camber was also good news, as the camber adjuster just slipped. I used a new lock washer and tightened down the set screw, so hopefully it won’t happen again.
Tomorrow, I start the rest of the giant to do list before the next event (16 things so far). Everything from fluid changes, to some DL1 wiring. I’ve also decided instead of just a plain nut and bolt with checking torque, I’m going to pull off all the suspension and inspect everything.
