Yeah. I love your car.
How thick, and what material are your windows? I have 1/4" Makrolon for my sides, and 3/8" for the rear, but I haven't put them on yet. How are they holding up?

We used the same Makrolon materiel (I forgot how thick it is, sorry) It does a very nice job.

Fun to see that this post was brought up today... Today I bought new shifter bushing (brass) for the car.

Update: Season is off and so the car (storage till this fall) Will be painting the car this fall with 2 new door, front bumper and 1 fender. Suspension
was very hard to understand bought after 4 races we just got it and those STD coilover are working great. I drove the car in race situation my self for the first time everthis year. This car is amazing... we had to replace fuel tank so we installed fuel cell and HP pump and new monitoring system

Just look 2 posts up :)

Thanks for updating, Ice Racing.
Are you changing the doors, and bumper due to damage, or for something lighter? If for something lighter, please tell.

That video was great :D Swooped 'em on the outside, sideways in a FWD!
I don't know, but it seems that it would help to get hard TTl bushings, to make getting loose like that more predictable.

Any problems with switching over to 323 brakes? Did you just swap the spindles, calipers and rotors? The driveshaft fits in the 323 spindle ok?
