Dark tinting on the inside with stickers on the outside.

now I can't make a "track build" thread because of you.

The other thing is because my build will probably take a few years LOL

Thinking about a homemade brake duct kit like this one: LINK, or the Cantrell kit. I also run 275's up front but w/o spacers, I'm curious where the rubbing is at and if the travel limiter solved it. If so, would you recommend a similar approach on a car I still daily drive?

The rub happened here at full lock (at least at my car). I'm running now 295 and I do have the TM steering limiters and no rub. I ran 275 with my kit (and the limiters) on public roads and no issues.

Much appreciated, I couldn't for the life of me think of where it would rub but was only thinking of the area closer to the hub. Makes perfect sense now, thank you! Will grab the steering limiters when I do this.

The rubbing was exactly as previously mentioned. The NT01's and R7's not only rubbed but also flattened the hoses without the limiters. With the limiters in place rubbing is no longer an issue but the limited lock to lock makes catching big slides more difficult.😄

Ortho, curious if you've considered replacing your VLSD with a clutch pack differential?

[///Mobbin]

ortho281 one more question, sorry! Curious if you can leave the rear side panels in with the Cantrell half-cage also? Want to go light but also keep the speakers (at first anyway).

Yes I have. I have already done a clutch swap twice. Once to a rebuilt clutch from Diffs Online which was too noisy, and a second time back to my original OEM clutch.

NP! Yes, the side panels will still fit with the Cantrell half-cage. That's how mine was originally installed. I later removed them to save weight.

Hey Ortho281,

Love the build! Slowly but surely I'm getting there. Would you consider selling the Cantrell Half Cage when you go to a full cage? If so PM me.

Thanks,

[///Mobbin]

Ortho, tried to PM and box was full so posting here. Curious if you ever sold your Recaro Profi SPG driver's seat? I might be interested if you still have it, let me know!

No, I'm still using it as a passenger seat. I'm not sure when I will be getting rid of it but I will keep you in mind. Thanks!

Thank you! Sorry, I have not been on here in a while. I will keep you in mind when I decide to sell the half cage.
