The wing is on: 9 Lives chassis mount
Yesterday I put my wang on.
Install wasn’t too bad.
- Pop off the bumper
- Measure the wing mount distance
- Put the uprights on the car and mark
- triple check
- Notch the tub
- triple check
- drill the mount holes
- mount the uprights
- lay out tape on the rear deck
- Use a square to transfer the upright dimensions to the tape on the deck
- remove the uprights
- loosely mount the bumper
- Use the square to transfer the lines back to the bumper
- cut the bumper slots
- remove the bumper and remount the uprights
- They should slide in pretty snugly but may need a little filing to adjust
- Cut the bumper foam around the uprights
- remount the bumper and accessories
There was a ton of insulation inside the bumper. More evidence of mice I guess
Took about 4-5 hrs to do. Mostly the upright measuring and drilling. No splitter yet. JC said I can run it zero or slightly negative and it should be fine, just counter the lift I get from the hatch. I need a quick release one and 9 lives doesn’t have their c5 one out. ETA this winter….
I also had an autox today. The start was super tight, hard 90 right out of the gate with the cones spaced so tight there was barely room to get my car through so I had to be super conservative. Miata sized hole. Lots of issues with people missing the turn on the double back at the start of the course.
