decrypting kenny’s mind

There are a lot of things that I want to be able to do to my car.  Mainly I want to be able to be able to auto cross with it again.  In order to do that, I am waiting for a company to get some stock of a part that i need for my suspension.  I called them two days ago and they said that they would have stock again either this Friday or by next Friday.  That is step one in getting my car track ready again.

Step two is not necessary, but I would like to do it because it would make my car better on the track.  There are some suspension components that could be upgraded that would allow me to be more competitive.  Of course these won’t be purchased until I get a little bit more money.  I would also like to get another set of rims and tires for my car, but that too needs to wait until I get some more money.  I am hoping that I will be able to get at least the latter by the first race of next season.  That gives me a few months to come up with the money.

The third thing I would like to do, depending on how mean my car is after the second set of upgrades, is look into either getting my engine a little bit more pep, or getting a racing seat.  If the car is doing what I predict it will do after all the suspension upgrades, I imagine that I will not be able to hold myself in place when I corner, hence the racing seat.  If I can still manage to hold myself in place, I will probably spring for some more engine pep, as in acceleration, not horsepower.  I figure a lightened crankshaft pulley and lightened flywheel ought to do the trick.

Because I know those won’t get the car where I want it to be in the grand scheme of things, there is one final upgrade I would like to do.  One of the last, but definitely not the least of the upgrades to come will be a different engine.  This will take some time, considering I need to first find and engine, then I need to pull mine out (including the transmission), and swap it with the new one.  After that comes the fun part (not really) of getting all the wiring installed and overall getting the thing to work.  I know it is going to be a lot of work, but considering this is my project car, it will be worth it.  My car will be a beast of a track car when I am done.  If all goes well, it could eventually be used for something more than just autocross.
