I spent the better part of yesterday out at Mark's shop. Mark did an outstanding job setting up the HR's alignment. After it was aligned he scaled the car and corner weighed it to set up the cross weights.

HR #003 is a heavy one. @ 2420 lbs. That is with 7 gallons of gas, 302 stroker with aluminum heads, AOD, FFR HR wheels, 13" front rotors, 11.65" rear, bench seat is an easy extra 50 lbs, bike fenders (the front brackets alone are 10-15 lbs for the pair),3 link, rear exit exhaust.


If you have a HR and are within a reasonable distance from Mark, call him when you need to have the HR aligned. I will absolutely be going back with my Mark IV roadster.

Olli, I did the same thing with my MKIII, had a great day learning all sorts of stuff, but best of all, made a big difference in the cars handling. Mark is a pretty okay guy as well, and I love the character in that old mill.

Mark has worked on virtually every one of my race and street cars, and besides being one of the nicest guys on the planet, he's an absolute master in all aspects of building and setting up our cars.....You guys back east are lucky to have Mark in your area, as I sure wish I lived closer!!!!
