[240] Show us your Panhard mount relocations

I drove that car once in 2011 at Sonoma. I can't believe it's still around! It rained all day Saturday and we had no wiper ARMS (let alone blades). On Sunday, the poor handling was truly revealed. It felt like a ton of toe-out and a sticking caliper (or calipers) didn't help. At that point I don't think it had been on a track recently so they may not have known what to expect. I was an arrive-and-drive with Speedycop, I think his cousin(?) owned the car at the time. Does it still have the Jaz fuel cell?

There's a big part of me that thinks I have to put the history of this car together before we crush the ****er, cause it seems like a lot of people have had experiences with it. Some of them were even positive! I'm kidding, it's been a pretty good car. We just pulled the suspension off it all today to clean up for a new shell. And yeah, the cell too. That's an odd detail to remember though...

I think we got the suspension in a better position than you had it in. I hope anyway. We haven't had OP's lifting problem. Car handles predictably, just a hint of oversteer at the limits, liked lefts and rights, occasionally it'll spit rear brake pads and one time it backed most of the ball joint/strut bolts out.
 
Today with the second iteration of our Panhard relocation we had a learning. Those gussets in the Grp A photos aren't overkill.

You have made that car really fast. 7th fastest lap time out of 133 cars last weekend at Sonoma.

Lots of contributing factors, but we improved our best lap ~8s over the last outing there (2019). All five drivers posted significantly better times, and more importantly all five reported significantly improved fun factor. So, win!
