Isabella - The 6 Million Dollar possessed FIat

Reinstalled the harnesses with a Cipher harness bar (that I've had since Twisted 2020). Improves the confidence that the harness will work the way their supposed to, bolted into the stock seatbelt points.

Installed my Braid wheels, back to me again but now refinished in silver and tungsten grey.

When are we gonna meet up at SpeedSportz for a little track day?

Do they have night time racing so that I don't have to wash the car?

The DNA trans mount will make the steering wheel vibrate. When I put one on my Sport I noticed it right off. I only notice it at an idle. I have the DNA motor mount also. One of the guys on the blue site swore the DNA mounts would cause the aluminum brace under the trans. mount to break. So far no problems. My windshield wipers vibrate at an idle also.

I've seen that argument but I've always assumed that the extra slop and droop from the failed engine mount is putting everything at a weird geometry. Also the 300lb engine and transmission banging up against the failed mount has to be worse in my mind

So I've been on again off again with the idea of adding fender flares. Managed to find a reasonable price on a set of FLY1 (Road Race) flares and had my favorite body shop install them for me. Also traded my Neuspeed wheels for a set of wider Tracklite wheels.

Very happy with the results at least visually.

I need to figure out how much to space out the wheels as there is quite a lot of rubbing right now. Going to start with 10mm in each corner and see how that goes.

Where is it rubbing? On the struts or control arms?

[texanbrit]

struts I beleive. I need to figure out the difference between rubbing with the wheel in the air versus rubbing with the wheel on the ground (if it's any different). It did seem that the rubbing got worse as the shocks settled down.

Struts definitely
