Well DS is on. Besides a little gear whine right at 45mph(expected) which is heard only with radio off, all else is good. Wouldn’t know it’s got a DS on as far as vibes are concerned. I approve of the Shaftmasters piece for $599, nice piece with nice welds. Along with the Stifflers loop. Below is the weight on my scale of the stock DS without mounting hardware

What does the stock one weigh?

What does the stock one weigh?

It’s in the post right above yours unless pic isn’t working. 31.6lb in the cardboard box but without its stock hardware.

So we continue making small moves getting ready for the Florida fall/winter track weather. Picked this Deka battery for $80 bucks. Big thanks to the wife for helping with the comparison pic.

how is dailying those baer brakes?

 

[SolarFlare]

I don’t daily the car but sees decent street use. When they’re cold they are a tad noisy at slow speeds and light pedal pressures. But I don’t mind them at all.

My buddy with a FBO 2018 also uses them.

With good weather quickly approaching Ive taken another couple steps. I pulled the 28x6 MT sportmans in exchange for 27.5x4 MT ET fronts. Cutting almost 12lbs per front runner combo. I did this now since the Sportmans are still in great shape I can sell them and actual out of pocket cost is minimal. Also pulled rear mufflers for 6in turndowns. Looks like bad now but we're just testing now, it will be getting Vbands instead of 3 bolt flanges for quicker changes.
