I used to have one of those for another car I had and they -are-
good at keeping the images in proper perspective. However, I feel I
barely have enough room with the 14" Longacre in the Pantera,
nevermind a 35" Wink mirror that will take up nearly the entire
crossbar and give me less headroom than the roll cage does now.<br>
<br>
The Longacre is designed for greater and wider visibility in a small
area, primarily for racing applications, and I think it does a great
job for that. As long as your moving forward and race traffic is
either receding or coming up on you, it'll be great. For the
everyday driving and backing up.... not so much. But then again I
typically use my outside rear view mirrors for that. :)<br>
<br>
It's a decent suggestion if there weren't a roll cage in the way.<br>

Hey all,<br>
The new Longacre rear view mirror arrived and it took a
bit to get it<br>
installed and oriented to my satisfaction. The only thing
that drives<br>
me nuts is the fact its convex; not a true reality but
rather the<br>
problem of "objects in mirror are closer than they
appear." I am soooo<br>
used to straight mirrors without any gimmicks. It's all
good though<br>
since the stock mirror has no room with the crossbar of
the roll cage at<br>
the top of the windshield. I'll just have to get used to
it.<br>
<br>
Now that I have it installed I can take the donated sun
visors Peter the<br>
German sent me, hack them up for proper fit, add some new
foam, recover<br>
and install them for a modicum of sun shade. When I get
going on that<br>
I'll be sure to document what I do. It's going to take
some cutting and<br>
welding of the sun visor frame, and then I'm not certain
how to re-close<br>
them; maybe with a zipper closure or perhaps keep it
simple and just use<br>
Velcro. The old vinyl/plastic was shot and I used a razor
blade to get<br>
them off; they are somehow heat sealed and trimmed
originally.<br>
<br>
The Innovate Motorsports A/F gauge arrived too. Although
I have the<br>
gauge mounted on the roll cage, I've yet to get the bung
welded into the<br>
exhaust pipe. I'll contact my friend a few doors down and
see when he<br>
has time to do some welding. :) In the meantime, for
those curious, it<br>
does come with a serial cable to attach to the serial port
of a laptop<br>
computer. The O2 sensor has a humongous connector on it;
I'm not<br>
exactly sure how or where I'm going to thread this puppy.
I'm hoping to<br>
get it through the driver's side rocker if possible. If
not, it will<br>
have to come through the tunnel and I hope I have enough
length to reach<br>
the gauge. I'm anxious to get this done so I can map the
carburetor<br>
performance.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow is our season opener for Autocross. It's a test
and tune day<br>
Saturday and official timed runs on Sunday. I'm going to
try and use up<br>
these tires at Autocross since they are expired for Open
Road Racing and<br>
I'll be getting a new set come July or August. This will
be the first<br>
day this year she's been on the open road. I had to move
cars around in<br>
the garage to position the Pantera for an easy escape in
the morning.<br>
She ran a bit rough this evening, but did seem to idle
without dying. I<br>
think she'll clear up on the 30 mile drive to the old
airport runway<br>
where we hold the events.<br>
<br>
Let the fun begin,<br>
:)<br>
<br>
