First off i would like to thank everyone on here who helped me get my spyder on the road. Today the weather was great and i took it out for a quick spin to see how she would do. I definitely need an alignment because i have more positive camber on the left front tire than the right. I have a little bit of a tire rub and the smell of burnt rubber is not pleasant. Mechanically she did great, although i am thinking i need a little bit more power. I will drive it a few more times and go through it all again and make sure all the nuts and bolts are nice and tight.

Beautiful car !! Do you have Clamshell straps ? Wind Wings would look good on it too ! What size is the engine ?........Bruce
Congrats on getting her on the road! Re tire rubbing: remember there are stop screws on the beam next to the pitman arm.
BTW what is the engine in your Spyder?
He has a 1915cc.
Hi Guys yes i have the clam shell straps. Will put them on this weekend. @edsnova I will check it out, but i can tell tire is rubbing on the outside edge. I know i can adjust height a little on the front beam. But i know the geometry has changed after i put in the drop spindles.
We always need more power.
Looks fantastic, Raffi. Is that your new shifter installed?
@Wulfrik (John) Yes, that's the new shifter. It was way easier than i thought to install. I did have my seats out though.
