Roll bar, e-brake, trunk inner panel, misc.

Tonight I installed the hoop. It must be fitted before the body goes on because its nearly impossible after that point.



After removing it I installed the last inner trunk piece by riveting it in.



Next I got the e-brake functioning properly.



Earlier today Scott and I took the car out a few times. We noticed the rear passenger wheel would rub under acceleration or around a curve. So later, I removed the rear wheels and massaged the aluminum in a bit to prevent that from happening again. I also adjusted the rear springs a little to bring the rear of the car a bit higher. I did this because there was more wheel gap between the fender and front wheels than the rear fender and wheels. So this should equal things out as well as give the rear wheels a little more room so they don't rub.

We also received the Excalibrator. I had American Muscle add a custom tune specifically for the car. It eliminates the engines need for the EGR (our check engine light is no longer on) and maximizes the parameters to premium fuel and the upgrades our car has. It even took into account the rear end ratio and tire/wheel size. The nice thing is Ludi can just plug it in and adjust a lot of the parameters like spark, air/fuel ratios, rev limit, and top speed to name a few. Additionally, if the cars check engine light ever comes on he can plug the device in and see exactly why and diagnose the problem without bringing it somewhere as well as reset it. The stock tune is also on the programmer so you can simply plug it in and choose to switch it back to stock if you really want.
