Allan,
Your SLC looks great!
Now that you have some street miles on your SLC, would you change anything in the way you built it? For example:
- Isolator motor mounts to reduce engine noise
- Quieter exhaust to reduce right pedal noise
- Isolated suspension to reduce road noise
- Ride height adjustment
- Softer springs
- Etc...
I'm just starting my SLC build and wondering about these things.
Thanks again.
I like the solid engine mounts. I thought that there would be more vibration and noise but there isn't.
I would opt for bigger mufflers, but with the current configuration it's still easy to have a conversation while driving.
I'd want to experience the isolated suspension before I give an opinion. If it doesn't sacrifice any of the precise handling then I'd do it. But it wouldn't be a have to do.
The springs are just right.
I have the ride height set at 4.25" to the bottom of the side splitters.
I added the lift kit after the fact, comes in handy for the lift and trailer.
Use a lot of sound dampering and coat the underside of body with some spray on or roll on sound deadening (Spectrum from 2nd skin audio)
I added close out panels between the frame to the body. They would go behind the supplied panel that is to the sides of the seats.
Back up camera, get one that stays on all the time.
Use either the hippo ear mirrors are after market double convex race mirrors.
The fans out the rear vents help with temps while idling.
Make sure you cut the wheel well lips back to 1/2".
Drive it any chance you get! I was out in a little bit of snow a couple of weeks ago and got to learn what it feels like when the rear end breaks loose.
Hope that helps.
