Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I got a question after taking out all that weight why keep the stock dash? It may not weigh a lot but a simple gauge panel would weigh less.

The dash is gutted underneath, its light already. The point is to keep it kind of looking like a DSM. I can take it from beast mode to street mode in about an hour: Carpet, passenger seat & belts, center console, door panels, street tires and now mirrors.

I was going to add, the more I look into a race-only 1g, the more I realize how much of a street car your setup still is. Rock on.

Thanks! I still like to think it’s capable of driving on the street, although every year I drive it less miles.

I worked a little more on the mirror delete tonight. One side is almost fully paint prepped. I'm going to mount them just like the factory mirrors so it will be super easy to swap over.

Dislike.

What are those mirror deletes made out of? They look great.

[turbotalon1g]

beast mode to street mode, pure awesomeness.

[DSMINMN]

Very nice! Looks spot on to me. Nice job.

[C3L1CA]

Looking good!

[turbotalon1g]

Sure does.

Do you have those rear diffusers on your car? (plates with holes in them for the back bumper)

I’m ready for a great weekend at Cedar Falls this coming weekend. Who is else coming down?

I’m more ready for this event then what I was for the muscle car shootout last month. I took more weight out of the car, it should be flirting with 2500lbs without me in it! I ran a 9.40 with it weighing 2870, I think? Now it will be around 2700 with me in it? I’m super excited to get a higher MPH, my goal is to hit 160MPH at the traps. I also added a little timing on my tune too! It’s uncontrollable on the streets when it colder, I hope the house of hook holds up to its legacy! I adjusted my clutch, if you saw the video in my car when I race the finals at MAP’s event and my gauges popped out of my dash, due to my clutch engagement being too high on the pedal. I adjusted the height and ripped a launch out on the street and holy shit its ready to go!

The weather forcast this weekend worries me a little, I hope rain doesn’t destroy my weekend. I’m ready to go! Oh and Shep sent me an upgraded T-case to test!

[Constant_Project21]

You seem pumped! Good to hear the car is doing work, can't believe how light you got! Should pick your brain when it comes time to lose some weight in my battle tank. It and myself are both going on winter diets haha.

Keep up the good work!

[Tachyon]

Good luck, Mark! Wish I could be there to see it, but I am balls deep in a house project :/

Hopefully the lower weight will add dividends in keeping the drive train together!

[URV8SUX]

I'll be there mark.

Hope the weather holds up we will see!

Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff!

[goodhart]

Damn, good luck guys!

[turbotalon1g]

Nice, good luck.

Would you ever run at RFR? They have track days both days next weekend. It would be sweet to see your car for once in person.

Maybe line up with Vassil and his small turbo car?

Nate there is your race you wanted.

I can't believe how light its getting with all that stuff you have in the car.

Rock could be awesome but they don't prep more than the first 100ft and I need it to hook through 3rd other wise it will be slow!

CFR will prep the hole fucking track start to finish! "house of hook"

Yes CFR will brake you weakest link!

Race for me who wants some FWD?

Mark FYI race just got canceled. Sorry

I’m going to get another week to work on the car, the plan is to go to Rockfalls next Saturday. I have yet to run 9’s there, traction was the main issue when the car would just break into 9’s. Yes it's starting to get decently light, I have more to remove too. Who else is coming on Saturday?
Blah Blah Blah small turbo, 6266 is new technology and the shit is unreal, and yes I would race him.
