THanks guys, we have a few small issues we need to work out. After the 2 runs in the video, our coolant temps were over 220F, and the hoses were rock solid! We're going to change the thermostat and see it helps. We also have a small oil leak coming from our valve cover we need to fix.

Thanks guys, We have 1 day to go, we leave tomorrow morning. The car is pretty much complete, we're going to do a final check tonight.

deutschman,
we've already picked our theme for this year its going with this painted on the door:


Our theme is 50's era speed shop track car.

I was looking through my garage to check what tires we were going to tow the car on and i ran into this:

Guess were not towing it on that thing!

[!kid]

whats wrong, the tire still looks good to me:grin:

[deutschman]

nice theme! good luck, and good job on the car!

[Massimo]

That is the coolest. Next year you should do this to the re\




Wish i knew about this a few months ago there was a set old school porsche magnesium wheels on Australian ebay i think they were 15x11 4x100 look like what you have now. They were dirt cheap as well like $400AUD. Anyways keep up the good work im loving it.

I saw these guys at the autocross today. The car was screaming fast! It was handling on rails too. It looks and sounds really badass. They finished 2nd in the autocross portion of the competition. By the looks of it, they should do very well in the drags too.

Congrats on the strong autox finish!

GO E30!!!
