off to the dyno and tune the standalone Epic ECU, have you ever loaded a non running car on to a trailer with no help.......It Sucks
In reply to The:
Next time... charge the battery, put it in third and use the starter to drive it up the ramps ;)

Pretty much every time I load a car on my trailer. Go to Harbor Freight, buy a come-along and a tow strap, it becomes a whole lot easier.
I just set up wheel chocks on trailer and front of trailer(to stop car), put strap on hitch and tow hook, pull car on (be sure to check for people with cameras and such...no need to become the next interweb sensation!) then back up to trailer. If done slowly it makes life easy.
Amazing work man! Very impressive! Can't wait to see more!!
...................Ordered Shaw Lexan, talked to Shaw himself.....all he did was order it from Five Star and direct shipped from them to me
I must say I am a little bummed out by that, I could have ordered it from them myself but I thought Shaw products were suppose to be a step above the rest.
Any updates on this beauty?
Update, it has been sitting at the dyno shop for about a month now and they claim it will be another month if I am lucky. They support a lot of race cars so they come first. Anyway they will be installing the Epic Stand alone ECU tuning it on their dyno..........
Still sitting at the dyno shop?
I totally forgot about this car. Where oh where is it?
The car is finished with one trackday to sort it, ran great at Road A, puts some new vettes to the test. it has the best of everything as you can see, it would do better lowered I think. Problem is I contracted Parkinson’s as i was finishing the car and I am unable to drive it.(No pitty party please). i guess i am going to put it up for sale i know i will take a beaten but it is what it is.
In reply to The:
I remember you mentioning the Parkinson's in some other thread, another time. You said no pitty party, so, okay then. Do you have pictures of the car? I found your build pretty interesting and made me wonder why I'm not doing something similar.
Let me know if anybody needs more info.

How much are you looking to get for the car? Is that a spreadsheet cut and paste?
The: I don't want to misrepresent my interest in the car; I just wondered how it turned out. I'm not in a position to make such a purchase. It looks great in the pictures you shared.
yes the spreadsheet is cut and paste it is a excel i can send it to you if you like as for the price, it's not a firesale i have over 30k in it i dont expect high 20's but i won't take low 20's. i have my mind right for somebody who knows what they are looking at.
Beautiful car and nicely done!
What's the fire suppression system? I must not be looking in the right place - I haven't found one under $300.
the fire suppresson system is inside the car it is a fire bottle with nolzzes 1 in the engine bay one over the driver and one over the fuel tank, i got mine for 300, i just went to the HardMotor sports site where i got mine and now they are 400, i just bought that in the spring......jeez, you might call Adam and tell him you need a deal. http://www.hardmotorsport.com
SOLD
I know this is a very old thread but what happened with the rest of the car? Did any of the other suspension bits gets done. It would be crazy to have gone this far and not have done the rest of it. Just sayin
Quick update on this car. It was sold to a gentleman in Atlanta and used a few times at track days. I recently purchased the car and am working on resurrecting it. It's had a few mods since the build including subframe reinforcement and Vanos work. I'll be making further mods including rear wing to match the splitter, likely a better suspension system (MCS two ways) and lowering it. Getting rid of the centerlocks is high on my list as I have two sets of wheels from a previous track car and the idea of messing with 350 ft/lbs of force to remove them at the track doesn't seem to make sense. So if anyone is interested in the wheels and conversion kit, let me know.
I was sorry to read about the original builder's illness. I promise I'll put her to good use! I'm an instructor with BMW CCA and PCA so I'm at the track often. Hopefully you are still around and if so, feel free to ping me...as I might have some questions ;-).
