SLOWPOKE goes short course racing

I'm using the QD from Raceco. I had that Hess QD and it was a POS.

Is it a direct bolt on? Or welded in?

Bolt on. I also hear that a YXZ quick release setup works as the splines on the column are the same as our Hondas.

Awesome, order from raceco yesterday. Thanks

Nice!

One thing you note about splined quick releases though... The splines on the wheel will line up any way on the column and putting the wheel on crooked is easy. Best bet is to paint a couple splines and do the same to the quick release hub where the wheel lines up centered so its much easier to get on straight.

Did that when taking the hess qd out. Just waiting for the new one. Thanks

Got the rear tires mounted on the new wheels along with the lexan mud covers I picked up and then pushed it outside so I could clean the garage. The garage was getting a wee bit out of control....

The carbon fiber hood looks killer out in the sun!

Today's adventure is going to be pulling the sender out of the tank and swapping pumps. I gutted the stock sending unit when I switched to the Injector Dynamics return style fuel system and ID 1300 injectors last year but only installed a slightly bigger fuel pump. My Injector duty cycle was higher than I wanted it to be running E90 so I'm swapping the pump out for a larger unit to get that in check and have it flow enough volume in case I want to run methanol at a track that doesn't have a fuel rule....

With a bit of luck I'll get the tank and lines in tonight before I leave for my work trip in the morning so it will be one less thing I have to do when I get back later this week.

Fuel pump is in, fuel tank is back in, fuel lines are re routed to a cooler location and the floors are back in.

Moving the battery and wiring to the passenger compartment really cleaned up the back of the frame on the passenger side. There used to be a crap load of stuff there and now it's empty.

Front diff clutch delete is almost finished. My guy says I'll have it by the end of the week.

As soon as it's in my hands I'll be able to install it, take measurements and then have The Driveshaft Shop build me a carbon fiber driveshaft. Zoom-zoom 😁

Man @SLOWPOKE693 - That's a lot of upgrades for this year. You're going to be taking names!

I hope so. I've about had it with getting beat by RS-1's so I'm doing everything I can to stop that from happening this year.
