Global West SFC
As part of my prep to put the SVO on the track, and after reading may great posts on the site, I came up with the sequence (as many others did) stiffen, safety, brakes, mods....
I purchased this car off evilBay about 3 years ago and have been doing various fixes/upgrades and it has made the 1300 mile trek to both the 2008 and 2009 reunions, autocross (mid pack) and back.
After looking searching I decided to go with GW for SFC based on how they tuck up, and seem to design for chasis torque resistance, especially with the rocker ladder. I did find the instructions a bit lacking (hence this post) and the brake and tank vent lines definetely need to be re routed. I will post some better pic of this in the future.
The right side took a good shot at one time in it's life and had to put it on a frame machine to pull the rocker and floor down about 3/4 of an inch. Here again the outer rocker tube welded in make sit "better then new"
I have no seat time yet, but I would bet the chasis is substantially stiffer and safer
