    A new SLC hits the track/streets

    I have been rather silent on this forum in the past but I wanted to announce the birth of our car. We recently finished Our SLC after 10 months (1500 hours) of pleasure. I had just retired and my son was between jobs so he moved home and we got busy. It is orange, has Graziano transaxle...

    A new SLC is hitting the streets & Tracks

    Where to start? OK, the beginning. Since I was a little kid I have loved (and worked on ) cars. As an adult I have almost always had "a project" car to keep me busy. I got into drag racing for a while and then about 10 years ago (thankfully) I found track driving. Since then I have been...

We have not grounded the transmission but everything is solidly mounted (no rubber) to the chassis; we...

    Battery/Starter Dilema

When we use a large (650 CCA) lead acid battery in parallel with our AGM battery, we are able...

    Need some suspension advice

    I recently bought the Qa1 ball joints recommended in the WIKI page for SLC's that will see a lot of track use. I have 18" CCW forged track wheels that barely clear the rear ball joints and control arm with the old stock ball joints. The stock ball joints mount underneath the lower control...

    About to jump in

    Howdy Eric. All good points. I guess my (faint) hope was that there is a kit out there that isn't too far along that someone is ready to bail on. I do hear what you are saying.

    About to jump in

    Hi. First post on this forum but I have been a long time follower. I have finally decided to build an SLC! I have long desired to do so but didn't have the garage space, so last month I bit the bullet and hired a contractor to enlarge my garage (my SLC build cost is $21k before I have even...
