That is why I left the rear rotors stock.....wanted a 15" wheel to have more sidewall wrinkle with slicks.

Under the right circumstances, a 15 can clear rear Cobra brakes. Ask Ricardo about his setup...he let me run them on my car a couple years back, and they cleared my Cobra brakes.

We are running 15's on Cobra 11.65" rear brakes, but again, it depends on the wheel. Anyway, those tires are a little big for an SC.
 
Trailer lights replaced
Wideband gauge installed
Truck fixed
Vacuum leak fixed
IC fan wired


Just need to:

Mount slicks
Install nitrous
Data log/ tune nitrous
Fix passenger window motor
Clean k&n (truck and Sc)
Detail Sc and truck
Find tires for cobra R's

Still to do: Wash the car and come up with the funds for the trip.

Well, that didn't pan out. I really wanted to make it this year, but the funds simply don't exist. Expenses far outweighed income this year, though it was mostly toward good causes. I had planned on skipping next year, but that may change now. This will mark the fourth Shootout ('04, '05, '10, and '13) that I've missed since the event began in '03. :(
 
My junks apart...but shooting to go

Crunch time and top of the motor is apart....trying to fix all the leaks I found and put on better exhaust.

If the car isn't ready I will still go with my honey in the soccer mom van:)

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it this year Rod:(
 
Still waiting on my hood to get painted. Body shop is busy with insurance jobs. Looks like I will be working on my hood there so it can be ready to bolt on and go.

I really like that hood Randy....My whole car needs painted but it's gonna be there- warts, pimples and all!....Dan
 
Thanks Dan. I didn't get it painted today. Decided to prep a rear bumper cover for my car also. Both have been wet sanded and are ready for the paint booth tomorrow. If it all goes well they will be on my car Thursday.
