BuRP * oh excuse me...
 
OK.. so the burp bit me. <insert belch here>

I got two burps for a good price. they are in "good-ok" condition and need my TLC. Don't get me wrong.. the cars came in perfect condition.. i am just a "stickler" to cleaning and tweaking things out to my liking so a rebuild a way we go...so from two brp's, i am taking the best of both cars and condensing into 1 GOOD brp. The rest will become spare parts for that "oh oh" kind of situation.

So here are the "progress pics"...

First of all.. here is where the magic happens... ever since I moved to this "apartment" i didnt have much pit space. it's small... its cramped.. but hey.. it works... (for now) Here is where I work at.. my HOME pit. (we can thank my wife for giving up the breakfast nook table to my obsession)

Hey,

Nothing wrong with the allen screws. That is what I have on my chassis in fact.

ready for SoCAL?

haha

Intelligentsia 11-11-2003 06:38 PM

What you mean hole cut out?

RCMits 11-11-2003 06:41 PM

compare the two pics.

the bottom shot on top.. and the bottom shot on the bottom. see the hole cut out in the tplate? i didnt know i got that.. haha!

Intelligentsia 11-11-2003 06:44 PM

Wow, That sucker is going to be soft. There is not way that you will not have traction in the rear. Your car will probably push at SoCal this Saturday but hey, a slight push is better than oversteer.

Or just tighten the screw on the T plate in front of the rear pod.
