In reply to pimpm3 :
seeing it again, now i really like them. needs moar lowering though. :-)
I drove the Corvair to the challenge.
Everything went well and it handled the 300 miles I put on it without complaint.
I had it filled with tools, luggage and a cooler.
Driving an older car is an event and I am glad I decided to take it this weekend.
I got a chance to throw it on the scales after the concourse, it was actually pretty light but the weight distribution was not the best.
yeah, pretty funny that a car with a 108" wheelbase and 180" overall length comes in at 2635 lbs. stock battery location makes LR suffer. I'm now 100% on board with the DS2's on there, I think they look great.
I had a 68 corvair with the 110 hp engine. Did some mild hop ups to it and had a lot of fun with it. There was a conversion kit that converted the two one barrel carb set up to a single two barrel and added a bit of power I think the company name was ieco or something like that...of course headers and dual exhaust helped too...with those two mods it made for a fairly peppy car for its time for a married guy on a limited budget. When the time came, I should have traded the wife and kept the car. :) It would have been less trouble.
