Finished up enough to get the car off to Charlie’s tomorrow.


Body panels: Test fit the body panels. Front bumper and rear wing fit like a glove and easy to install. GT3 Rear Bumper a whole different story. Figured it would be bolt on. Oops. Turns out the rear supports are completely different for the GT3 bumper. Because of the rear air vents it doesn’t fit a on a Carrera. Modified the brackets to get it to fit, but then realized the GT3 bumper is 3” taller. So while I can get the top and side screws in fine now, all 6 bottom screws have nothing to grab. Will check with Charlie tomorrow if there is a way to get it to work, otherwise I’ll have to buy a pair of rear supports for $450 each!

Wheel Studs: Ok, nothing exciting, but just wanted to share info on the ones I used. I bought ACS “Track-Studs”. They screw in and have a bullnose for easy starts of the lugs. Grand Am teams use these. Tried them out and night and day difference compared to regular stud. For purist, yea they probably add a couple ounces of rotating mass. Oh, the wheels are the new Formula43 RAD10 Clubsport. Super lightweight and nice quality. Picked them up from Paul at Radial Tire who helped me out tremendously. Big thanks to Radial!

Third Radiator: Talk about easy to install. I bought the 3rd radiator kit from Suncoast for $250. Comes with all the parts necessary. Since the bumper was already off, took about 30 minutes to install.

LOL...impossible, I haven't hooked the coolant lines yet. Going to do that while at Intersport. takes about 5 minutes to do, but didnt have anything to drain the antifreeze into that would fit under the car. Fluid is from the headlight washer hose which is disconnected.
