    Agreed on the wrap install. I think it took me around 50 hours. I definitely see why it costs thousands of dollars, but still can't bring myself to paying that.That's a bummer about the engine. How much pressure were you running? Both are... (see full post)

    Thanks I appreciate it, that wrap took forever, much respect to wrap installers. Unfortunately I broke the ring lands on 3 pistons which smashed their spark plugs causing us to ride home on 5 cylinders. So now I’m in the process of debating a...

    Trying to do some catch up, I've been really busy lately.Since I put big brakes on the front, I started figuring out which master cylinder to use. One way is to calculate the ratio of MC area to caliper area. Since I'm not changing brake... (see full post)

    Hey man it was nice to meet you at the Triad event Sunday. Good luck at PITS. I was hoping to talk more after our run group but I acquired some engine problems during my 4th run, so after coasting off course my last run when I finally got it...

    Had a great time at Homestead Speedway this weekend! The car did great, all the work done to it and the new tires made it handle way better! Only 2 issues: it’s starving for fuel at hard corners when the fuel tank is 1/4 or less and I ran out of...
