Does anyone have any good ideas for adding small rollers under the front that helps prevent the front fiberglass from scraping through dips or driveways? I'd be interested as I seem to find every last place that is a problem.

Hey,

How about a splitter that is made of something slippery like nylon. Karl Troy's formaer car has this and it is very effective.

On another topic, finally got to hear what the SpinTech mufflers sound like. I specified a muffler for track days and it is loud. Should be driving the car soon and will let you know more thereafter.

Hi Ken, good to hear your feedback on the SpinTechs, I look forward to hearing more. I have been looking at getting two big ones in, with a balance pipe of course! I have listerned to a number of samples on YouTube and they do seem to be pretty loud, so I am completely unsure what my next steps will be...

Not the way to go I feel.
A roller will just be reducing the clearance and when in use will be taking the whole weight of the car on the front clip. If grounding is an issue then increase the ride height.

My clip has only on a few occasions grounded but during four years on the road I have had to remake both hinge points as they have broken out of the GF.

I allways grease the sides and the underneath of the car before I go out .
