Let me know how that KSport handbrake works out. I'm thinking about getting one

Ditto.

What size did you get 3/4 or 5/8 ?

I'm lagging cos the bitch of bleeding the lines in the car.

Can I get a line item on that list? How bout change the quantity of a few of those?

Michael LeCompte

Going with the 5/8th, and 3/4 MCs on the balance bar set-up.

The K-sports are fine. They're in about five or six different rally cars here in Colorado.

You don't bleed them in the car either. You still bleed the brakes the same way.

Cool list. You should have bought all or most of your interior stuff at Checkpoint though. Cheaper and rallyists. Just saying.

That's cool that the Colts went to Finland!

Wilson,

You sold the Colts "OFF SHORE"?

SACRE BLEU!!!!

(Just for that I'm not going to offer my LSD's to you afterall!)

I Purhased my race suit from Checkpoint because they were a rally company.

However: (1) They don't appear to carry OMP products, and the prices on the Sparco head restraint seats are significantly higher; (2) they don't appear to carry G-Force products, and the FIA harnesses that they do have are twice as much; (3) they don't appear to carry the Momo Model .07., etc.

As a lot of the stuff has not been purchased yet, I would be more than willing to entertain a competetive bid for the interior stuff of equal spec.

FWIW.

Rich:

Finland is old rally car heaven. Think about it. If they were going off shore, I couldn't think of a better place. Plus now we have our Finnish hosts for when we go over there to rally! In fact, we're talking about keeping an Escort to play with. Here's our guy's e-mail:

By the way, anybody interested?
Ford Escort RS 2000 Mk2
grF rallycar
chassi in ok condition, never rolled or seriously crashed but could use new paint..
186bhp
Tran-X straight-cut close ratio gearbox
5.1 +lsd
Quick steering
Pedalbox
Bilstein suspension
etc...
5500 eur

There website doesn't contain all of their inventory. It's really best to just call Mitch about stuff. Or Mark on Saturdays. Wasn't chiding you for it, just mentioning it. Just a few months ago I ordered a battery relocation kit from Summit, was down there putting it in my car and they were like, did you put that on your tab sheet? I was like, what you guys sell these?

When you going to post up some pics of these new beamers.

Oh, and buy the Escort!

Just checked my records. My OMP hub was $65, my Momo steering wheel was $120, and the Sparco seat mounts were $75 from Checkpoint. Those were the main ones that caught my eye actually, looking through your list.

Don't know if Mitch carries the G-force belts, but I know I've used G-Force, Sabelt, and Sparco before and will only buy Sabelt. Mitch used to carry alot of G-force when they first opened, but mostly dropped them in favor of better products.

Wilson,

I was just poking fun about selling Off Shore. I've sent old Mitsubishi rally parts down to Australia a few times, but didn't know there was any demand in Finland. Sounds like you have a nice reciprocal arrangement going there.

Rich Smith

Since it hasn't been ordered yet, I'll call over and see what CP can do comparatively.

We had the G-Force belts in our Colts, and I was favorably impressed. We had the 6-point FIA ones. They worked better than the last couple of Sabelt sets I've used. And the price is right.
