What did the final product weigh? Did you guys use the hand shifter or make paddle shifters? Did you compete? If so, how did you do?

It was over 600 lbs :?:

We ran out of time and had lots of problems.  We missed more than half of the events, but we made it and got to race our car.

That's about how baja went this year.  Broke the trans the day before comp, had to track down a part, rebuild in the hotel parking lot.  Lost 6th gear, and by the time we were finally through tech and brake testing we missed maneuverability, pull, and the mud bog.

Was that 600lbs including the driver?  We were at 544 with no driver.  Some of the lightest baja cars were around 305lbs.

It never ceases to confuse me that people think this is a car site.

Erection achieved.  I love this kind of shit.   Apparently i really want to go to school now for chassis fab.  Then again, a buddy of mine did and is working at a local machine shop vs building race cars for a living.


The intake manifold is hands down my favorite part of the car.   The front and rear cnc billet knuckles are beautiful pieces too.   I wish i could do that kind of stuff.
