Winter is upon us and I have a few tasks ahead of me for the winter; tracking down the gas leak and re-assessing the brake system to make sure that it will be solid for the track next year. Going to look into new AP racing 2 piece rotors for the front. I absolutely need to find an off the shelf solution for rotors.

Im also having issues with 2nd gear synchros so I will need to grab a spare trans (hopefully with LSD) to act as a spare if something happens and I lose second.

There is one big surprise that (finances willing) I can get done this winter. Its an idea I have had for the past while that is closer to fruition and will hopefully be another "one of a kind" piece on the car. Im REAAALY excited about it and how it will turn out.

Winter list:
Fuel tank/lines
Brakes
Transmission
Surprise

its coooooold out.

got a couple things done over the holiday time.

First of them being the passing along of the RECARO confetti's

last pic of them before I ripped them out


sad wave but they have gone to a very good (and pretty local to me) home



then went seat fitting/shopping



Also, my Braille battery is shot. Ive had it about 4 years now so thats not too bad but it adds another cost to the winter push




the surprise is in full effect and the process is in motion. im friggin excited

How's the winter push so far?

still waiting

slowly.
All I did was install a seat, jack the car up and take 2 of the wheels off lol.

Everything Ive ordered is on backorder so Im just waiting. Dont want to spend more money until these parts come in.

Also trying to stay on track with buying what I need for this year rather than what I want.



So am I. My friend is holding the footage hostage

your looking at seats for a 6 point harness design???? i came across the takata style ASM design. Still 4 point but DOT legal. do companies that hold track events allow these

I hope that Bud Light water went with those seats, too.

Light beer is only good for washing your hair, not meant for consumption.

How much did it cost for your whole exhaust setup and the place you got it welded it at, im trying to steal your dual exhaust style and are there any clearance issues

lol, I left a note on your car at home depot last week. Did it hold up in the rain?

The cost kind of varies. I supplied the 1st shop with the mufflers and v-band connections and that was about $1200 for a header back. I then had the rear section re-done for a few hundred.

Oh **** that was you!!! i saw it right before it flew off my windshield
And yea i work there

Ok thanks and was that at zury fabrications bcuz i tried calling them and it wasnt in service
