1st - Get the entire subframe/suspension removed, & then get the Fuel Tank & Lines out of the way - DO IT! You don't want to blow up, eh?

Next - Follow supplied instructions! Lots of welding required! Clean all areas where mounting plates will be welded, drill slightly into underbody sheet metal through holes in plates to get to the juicy core. This is what you want the rosette welds to attach to. After the rosette welds, stitch around the front plates, & for the rear plates fully seam weld the plates. After the welding, grind high spots down & paint. Then on to the fun of feeling as though you've been kidnapped - i.e. working in the trunk. The trunk is a bit trickier as you have to cut the upper sheet metal away to access the area above the rear subframe mount weld points. Here's where the inital cracks begin (notice
text in picture pointing to crevice next to factory weld - very suspechoso!). Cut around dotted line, weld sheet metal together, paint inner welded area, weld cover plates, paint cover plates. Let everything dry, reassemble trunk interior, stand in awe, mop up drool.

Note that this is a very big deal job---not for everyone!

System with DASH Logger WHAT FUN!
By Rhett H
For those of you who are familiar with racing, track days, DE's, autocross, or slot car racing, you may have found yourself asking the question - why am I so slow? My feet push the pedals, & my arms turn the wheel & steer the car, but crap - I SUCK!

Enter data acquisition technology. Wonderous gadgetry that allows the driver to analyze, compare, & digest a horde of vehicle data (vehicle speed, brake pressure, multiple G forces----braking, acceleration, and side thrust----as well as various other inputs of your choosing) while overlaying GPS maps of the different laps turned on various tracks. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO SEE WHY YOU WERE FASTER ON LAP 3 COMPARED TO LAP 6 - Later Apexing? Maintaining more speed through a corner? Later braking?... No more guessing, the facts are in...

Here we have the STACK 8812S Dash Logger - a fully configurable & expandable data acquisition system, complete with internal tri-axis G meter, etc., etc. This unit completely takes the place of your stock instrumentation, which for many race cars is already replaced with aftermarket. This was an excellent time to fabricate a nice carbon fiber instrument panel! The Stacksystem requires it's own proprietary sensors, so installing H20 temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Brake Pressure, & Wheel Speed sensors was necessary! LOTS oF WIRING & ADAPTING/MOUNTING SENSORS! There is also a lap timer beacon/receiver with the system which provides actual lap times. The beacon mounts handily to a standard camera tripod, runs off a 12v power supply (jump box or car battery), & a receiver mounted to the car is triggered at each pass.

Don't expect the installation to be spelled out for you----it will not be easy, so... Install temp sensors, pressure sensors, & wheel speed sensor, wire supplied harness, make appropriate mounting location for display, plug it in, make sure it has power, load software to laptop, configure display, log some data, download
to laptop, begin jerky-like gnawing of said data. You will be gnawing for a while, so you best have something to drink...Powerful stuff.
