Hey All,
Been some time since I've posted on here and had a killer weekend at the Thermal Club so I've got a wild hair to get my 240 up to snuff to track. Currently it has an oil leak preventing me from driving it so I've already got my first box to check. Because my brain can't stop thinking about how much I want to drive my car I thought I'd ask some of you that track or autocross your cars about how they're setup.
Here's where I'm at:
1979 245
B230FT 13mm rods, OEM gaskets/seals, new water pump, t cam, Yoshi catch can
15g w/90+ mani
T5 w/yoshi stage 2+ clutch, flat flywheel, 1pc driveshaft
lh2.4 and EZK, chippable boxes (currently stock)
Stock radiator, e fan
Denso alt, no PS or AC
boxed control arms and trailing arms, Ben's suspension all the way around, spherical rods out back, full poly save for rear axle bushings
25mm sways f/r
15x7 wheels, 215/50 rubber
That about covers the big bases. I have a set of sport seats that I'd like to try and get in there, otherwise a cheap fixed back seat would be a good idea. It seems like the only big problems are keeping the car cool, so oil and coolant are the big systems to watch. I know I'm not going to make big power and that's fine, I'm more concerned with a reliable system at this point, power can be added via turbo/cam later.
Who tracks their car, input?
Here's the car
