V1 Dragon Motorsports 1.0 [Extended\Full-Cage\Double Door Bars] - [Frame #290] - SOLD

[Jareth]

My Seibon wing was ordered in December with a ship date mid March. Carbon fiber wings seem to be hard to come by at the moment.

That seemed to be what I was finding in some of the post so I figured I might as well order it now.

So two hours after my credit card was charged for the WANG, HARDmotion canceled my order with no explanation

I guess I’m lucky they did not leave me hanging for months.

 

[Ark :D]

Just get a fake-ass, cheap WANG like most of us. Lol!

If you don’t mind paying the premium for the Seibon wing, you should be able to order it from Vividracing’s website, they’ll put in the order in with Seibon and email you saying it’s a XX month/week wait. That’s what they did with mine

 

[Jareth]

I went directly to the Seibon website and setup a notification for when they have them available

Im with you! Lonny said it doesnt do a **** thing back there as there is no clean air for it so why pay $700+ for a name brand trinket that doesnt do anything more than look cool.

Seems like a business opportunity for someone capable of creating a carbon mold and baking some prepreg into high quality parts. Demand is obviously higher than supply....

I have suspect that they were not a business identified as vital and had to shut down for awhile due to Covid?

Put that Wang up here in the clean air and even a cheapie eBay $90 one is more effective than a $400 carbon fiber one sitting at the back in all that dirty air. And it is not pushing down behind the rear wheel centerline making the front end lighter.

Now that makes sense.

I have the subframe lose but the steering knuckle is preventing it from dropping. I tried tapping a screwdriver slightly in the gap but did not help.

what technique should I try?

 

[r3drckt]

Lube it with wd40 or penetrating oil. Grab the shaft and shake it vigorously. How I got mine loose. Just make sure the subframe isn’t sitting on the bolts at all. The weight of it helps it drop out

 

[Ross]

Warm it up to 200F ?

 

[Rttoys]

Drop the frame and do everything you can to pry the shaft loose. Kroil is a hell of a penetrant. And......buy a new shaft..

 

[Jareth]

Steering rack is out, I unbolted it from the subframe, dropped the subframe, lowered and slid the engine out and was able to tape the shaft lightly from above and it slid right out

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Remove the brake booster and master cylinder and your ready to start on the interior. Good progress.

 

[Jareth]

So Mr. Sasqwatch inspired me to get back out there and get the Dash out.

Just have a little more to strip from the donor

[Lonny]

I'm sure glad GM produced these portable donor kits for us to use.
Some disassembly required.

Just spent last few hours researching seats and at the moment I thinking maybe these? My chassis will be Steel-IT Gray and engine valve cover will be Red so these might be a good color choice?
