Contemporary or ERA

[RICK LAKE]

Dennis Mosley ERA has updated my car over the last 12 years. Changes done to my car
Power steering system added
5 point wrap around roll cage added that is removeable.talled main hoop bar. No cutting of the body was done. left side wrap around bar fits inside of the door.
Have custom 1st hood with louvers built into it. helps remove hot air from motor.
Custom Paxton hood added. Down side looks great and nasty but at 120 mph the car starts to lift, not good.
Car had body extensions behind both seats for 17" wheel to fix. I run 335/35 R17" on the rearend without any tire rub.
Change from 11" rotors to the 12" rotors and dual piston calipers. Yes the car does stop faster. It almost puts you through the windshield without belts on.Other upgrades are going from S-W gauges to Smith ones.
The list is almost endless with what ERA can do for you and your car. I looked at the air lifts at all 4 corners for ease for working on the car.
ERA has a full time engineer who can get built anything you need, within limits for an old cobra or new. Bob can engineer it and Doug can get it installed and working perfect. I have seen cars at ERA with stereos, AC, soft tops, under car exhaust systems for a quieter car. I think they can do hard tops too.
I passed of going from out broad brakes at this time. I run inboard with small fans for now. I am going to end the track stuff and send the car back to ERA for Paint and get the car back to street setup where I can drive it on the street.
All it takes is money and time. I found that winter is a slower season for ERA to add things to your car and you have less down time in the good driving weather.
I'm sure that some of the Contemp guys have also do upgrades to there cars and will be more that willing to help you with any changes or point you in the right direction for help.
I was hoping to hit the mega or powerball lottery, wanted to have the foot boxes changed to fit a SOHC motor under the hood or good nuts with a twim paxton setup with better blowers. ERA has built 1 or 2 of these cars also. ERA stands behind their product and customers for life. There are other companys here that do the same too. That is for a different thread. Rick L. PS You can setup any car to do one style of driving over another. The change would be to the spring rates and shock metering setups. IMO and doing changes to my car, the street setup that comes form ERA is an all around driving setup. Going to the track 95% of the time and see pictures of the car working required a changes in shocks and spring rates to have the car turn flater and not push when turning. Last thing, I have 2 GMC trucks, one has coil springs in the front end and one has torsion bars. Both are 1 ton trucks. Either loaded, empty or towing, the torsion bar one is smoother when driving. You can soften up coil over springs with a lower spring rate and get that same ride as torsion bars. Rick L.
