2008 Baja 1000

[MoonRaker]

I started a thread about this before the forum went down and cant find it so I guess ill start another. So far ive landed 2 sponsors and 2 more possible, one being the PVA and another being Hanger prostetics. Im working on what I need to get ready for the haul. My co driver is Cam Worth, gt champ and daytona 24 winner in class RX-7. I just put new rubber all around and I have 4 spares since my old tires wernt in anyway needing replacment, nitto 285s are the tire of my choice, anyone have 4 stock 18 inch rims. The class I think im in is with the jeeps, correct me if im wrong. Any recommendations on suspension, I already plan atleast a 3 inch lift and im in the market for fully adjustible suspension thats controled from within the truck. Im going to machine all the ruber spacers out of delron myself. Custome bumpers are planned also. I also need to figure out how to shield the AC vents from the soot since Cams over 50 and im alittle on the crippled side so confort wont be spared. Im taking an air compressor to blow soot out of the radiator and airfilter if needed. Is a roll cage a must or just a safty thing? Lets here it guys and gals.

Moonraker,

a guy I work with goes to the Bajas and invited me to the one earlier this year. I couldn't make it but would like to get to this one.
It would be cool to meet up and check out your rig once it's finished.
Keep me updated on your progress.

As for the rims...
not sure if you're asking for a set for sale or what, but I have one.
Check the Tires/Wheels threads, it should be the most recent.
I'm in San Diego, btw.

Good Luck

I am sure if you go to the website for the 1000 you should be able to fond a listing of all the classes and the vehicle specifications for each. They are pretty specific about what can be altered on the vehicle and what safety equipment is needed (mandatory). Adjustable suspentions may put you in another class all together. Might want to check before you start sinking your $ into stuff that is not allowed/needed for the class you plan on running.
Might want to start HERE

This is no longer a "run what you brung" type of deal,,,,you better check into the specs, and not post questions about it here. No one here races their VX. Baja is no joke. Good luck
