    Nice project! It is nice to see how much love do you spend into cars! Do you will bring a car to the 24hr race in germany next year? :)
    By the way, on sunday a driver of the 24h drive from my village died at a bike accident! Won this and last year with Subaru the category and drove in the past years for Alpina, Gumpert..... etc... he was just 30 and a great guy! drive save! http://www.facebook.com/#!/marcel.engels.902

    We will. Our plans for next year aren't set yet. We may race another VLN this year and return to the 24 next year but we're not sure.

    That's how you lift it off the surface/setup plate safety.

    Whats the difference between the P4/5C specs and the factory specs?

    The F430 GT2 are undervalued IMO.

    A F430 GT2 with a P 4/5 C spec motor?

    That's a future multi-million dollar car if I have ever seen one.

    Awesome stuff. P4/5 specs sound scary.

    Do you do anything that's NOT awesome or at the very least interesting? I don't think I know of a more un-boring person. NICE!

    If you know you know
    I think I've seen somewhere attachments that screw onto the hubs ( with the wheels on ) that have a hoop on the end. I'll look them up tomorrow, may be safer that using the spokes of the rims.

    Then again, I am sure your guys could fab some too... LoL

    Wish I could have made it up to your shop, I did donate some items to the club that you're hosting coming up soon ( The auction winners ) hope they go to deserving members.

    We have those for Transport of our wire wheel cars but that is better when tie down/lift up is directly in line with end of hub. Otherwise through the wheel distributes load more evenly onto suspension and stresses tip of threaded hub less. When using a balanced surface plate you want entire load to be put directly onto and off of the plate not rolled on.
