Sentra SE-R

I'm hoping to get suspension and brakes figured out today, especially since it's my last day off for a while. We'll just have to see if I can continue to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of getting this car ready for novice school on April 18th....

get the required safety stuff done first, worry about the go-fast stuff later. trust me, the car won't be "done" in time for the 18th, it can only be "done enough." a race car is always a work in progress, so don't get too caught up in the whole "i have to have this, that, and the other done before the school."

Good point, Travis. Are you guys going to be at MAM at the end of this month? My dad assures me that the cage won't be a problem for time, so that's why I may seem like I'm not worried about it. As far as the rest of the safety stuff, (belts, fire suit, helmet, window net, etc.) it's either accounted for or already owned, so I have that goin for me.

I was surprised to find out that even though my dad is a drag racer who used to race dirt modifieds, he still knows about a half dozen people around here who do SCCA stuff, including one guy who runs a GT1 Camaro. Now THAT was a cool car to go look at! We've gotten a lot of good advice(starting with you guys) and it looks like we're going to have everything in order for the most part.

I found 4 used tires at the swap meet that I paid $20 for ($5/tire), but they look to be mostly used up. Do you guys have any advice/contacts on getting more tires?

Thanks!

I doubt I'll be able to make it with the car, but I might be there just for fun.

I have a bunch of old tires in my basement, but it's all mismatched stuff. I think I have 3 good Toyo RA-1s, 2 Kumho victoracers that are pretty much dead, 2 Hoosier 05s, and maybe a couple other randoms. you're welcome to whatever you want if you come down to KC to get it, or I can bring it to the school if I go (hoping I will).

[Brettt]

Travis- does that mean free? I can definitely take a sunday and come down to KC the week after next if that works for you.

[email protected] - let me know what you think

[Brettt]

oh. I guess the tire size might be important. Are they 205s? 225s? 15in?

[tnord]

oh yeah, 205/15/15. if you want them, come get them. i'd be happy to donate some old tires to help a new guy get started.

[Brettt]

well consider them sold, sir. I'll let you know for sure when I can be down to get them in the next few days. I really appreciate the generosity!
