Yeah, I came in there hot! :mrgreen:

OK, so i think I'm done taking this car apart (until i wreck it again :lol: ). I decided, since it went from actually being a decent car when I started to a bit of a nose heavy handful after the mid motor swap, I needed to get rid of the inline battery. So I tore it all back down and drilled a bunch of holes. The 2 in the middle are kinda worthless. I was hoping to get another pair at the front but the boxes hit the tub sides and turned in too much to work right. Ahh well.....

So I can move the pack front a 1/2" or an 1". For an inch, I have to relocate the electronics to the back. Hopefully i won't need to do that. :wink:

I also need to redo the wiring when I get some new stuff (it's all i had to work with). I didn't want to waste the new Novak wire I have on it. Rather save it for the vintage stuff.

I had this car out to the track 2 weeks ago. I put the heavier sway bar back on the front and with the new battery layout it seemed to work quite well. It corners awesome, but it was jumping like trash. Nosing over super hard if you weren't on the throttle. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out why. i have even less weight up front now and even added more to the rear. :?

Shortly before I was ready to leave, I had the idea to take turn off the drag brake. That fixed it. Now I have to get used to how it drives again. :lol: I'm happy with it so far though....
