Nothing's better than railing a corner fast enough to get some three wheel action going.

The Amazon was rippin. There just might be a video on the Internet of me harassing a very timid GTR driver and blowing by many other unsuspecting participants. Photos courtesy of DAK Designs.

Filthy

Made it to the local Cars and Coffee event just before the snow fell. That '62 Ragtop Beetle was clean.

No track day for you. Still playing with the tune, working out the bugs, and fixing all the boost/vacuum leaks.

[helptheamazon]

Getting awfully close to track day with multiple deadlines passed.

[helptheamazon]

Finally made something to work with the Wilwood masters. Home Depot plumbing department saves the day, so far

[helptheamazon]

First drive. No tune. 4 days

[helptheamazon]

It runs, the brakes work, the clutch works, the ecu won't flash. Almost there.

[helptheamazon]

The culprit. Updated versions of parts aren't always the best for your application. The aluminum sleeve pushed the release bearing into the clutch assembly. Next day shipping it is.

[helptheamazon]

Well shit. Minor issues encountered

[helptheamazon]

It’s the little bull shit that gets you in the end. Oil pan and pick up done and serp belt tensioner made. The list is getting shorter with only a couple days from deadline and two weeks from the first track day of the season.
