Looks great Krooser.

Thanks.... I must confess I leaked out and had a local shop do the work. I'm back working 60 hours per week so I have the cashola to race so I realized if I want to race this year it had to get done.

Right Foot Performance in Appleton, WI did the work. They build new pavement cars plus contract with two other guys to build their modifieds and IMCA stock cars. They also build a lot of suspension parts like birdcages, torque rods, sway bars and such. Good people.

I just got the heat turned on in my shop last week...several years ago a guy was using my shop to build a bobber cycle and ran up a huge gas bill then took off. I had just retired and had it shut off because I didn't have $900 to pay the bill back then. Now it's toasty warm so no excuses for not getting the car done.

Still waiting on pistons...

Kooser, id go ahead and put the X brace up front, the drivers dash bar, and the under-slung in the rear....make it stiff like a new car. Makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE...

also run a stiffing bar from the LF upper coil over area on downtube, back to the door bar area. stiffens quite a bit as well.

I believe early ( 2017?)XR1’s had one, but not the later ones

[bullittwrench]

Pretty sure ur right. We were told if we bought a 17, cut that bar out.

[CCHIEF]

That's what some do, 16 IIRC didn't have that, nor 18 up.

[Krooser]

Yeah I'm going to put an x in front of the radiator... Might a bit extra but I want to get the engine bolted in to see what I have room for. Got to put a verticle bar from the top door bar to the front roll cage bar. Not sure when Tader added those.

I don't think you need to cut anything that bar was just their to help strengthen the car if you get hit in the rf wheel. People started associating cars that didn't run well with it as (bad) cars meanwhile their are tons of cars winning with it aswell. So they stopped putting it in

It didn’t take my rocket emoji, fixed it.People say the wide cage XR1 cars are no good, as are the 17’s with the extra lf bar. Rocket stopped putting that bar in and many turn their nose up at 17’s with it and wide cage cars. Not my opinion, had great Experiences with both thru the years, run new cars every year. That’s why I call it folk lore.Clear as mud? Grins

[Krooser]

I've heard opinions about the different XR1's too. Also heard a B/G can run all XR1 parts and be fast, too. I'm too dumb to know the difference.

[CCHIEF]

....Highly dependent on the minds and muscles involved....I know nothing, I see nothing!!
