Beautiful car you have. Why are you trying to sell it? Its Very rare to see a car being raced thats as clean as yours. What differences have you noticed with your front suspension? Does the car feel or work different than it did before.
I just sold a my dragster and the new owners were asking me if I new what the whinning sound was when the were backing up after a burnout. I didn't know, but it has a set of BTE straight cut 1.80 plants. May be thats what theyre hearing.
Sorry I havent been paying any attention to this part of the forum.
First off thanks I clean the car weekly at home and usually between rounds. Sometimes it taugh to get it all clean but I dont like it being dirty pride myself on a clean car. I've had several cars from hardtails to 4link/swingarm cars. Over the winter I had planned to swingarm this car being it was a slipjoint car, Dan Davies owner of Diamond talked me right into the front suspension. Here is what he said and why I went with it, take a typical rear suspended car they usually carry the left front tire out of the beam, now this has to affect the reaction time. In theory with the front suspension you keep both tires on the ground when leaving the line, it made a lot of sense to me and sure has worked well so far. I also really enjoy the front on a bumpy track or bumpy pits you really feel nothing so dont feel like you got beat down after a long day of racing. We have emailed a few times about it being for sale, I really am wanting to get back to a door car, for a few reasons less money invested, less crap to have to use like this new -15 layer suit deal another 1k for a suit, also my dad is wanting to get back into racing and has no want to go this fast anymore. I figured I'd help him out as he did for me when I started racing. If you have any questions let me know I'll keep a eye out now lol :lol:
