    Damn it!

    Why did you have to go and say that?

    If I do it will have a X on the side, no dyno and don't want or need one. It will be AI trim/weight/power but don't want to mess with it.

    Dang, not one decal on the car at the moment either. No annual insp, just went up 75 lbs in front spring and 50 lbs in the rear, have not tested it either... Would be interesting!

    50/50, I will update Sunday night.

    I probably need to retract my challenge David....had the car at Cresson yesterday during the Apex event and still experienced a little bit of brake fade....something I have NEVER had at that track.

    What was more wierd was that I was hitting my usual shifts at the usual spots.....at 5 to 600 MORE rpm. Don't know if it was just me using the shift points from "nationals mode" or I'm actually picking up a LOT of speed. Wish they had lap times from yesterday!

    Right now, I am going to keep the car on jackstands as I diagnose this brake issue before it becomes a serious problem...especially at ECR where brakes are VERY important.
    Ah, fugg it.

    Don't play around with brakes!!! Oh, nevermind! :-)

    get that shit figured out!!

    I have not touched the car, spent the weekend cleaning out the shop... 1" of water on one side from the rains... F'n sucks!

    Happens once a year! The idiots who built the shop ran the sloping driveway into the doors with no rise into the shop... A monkey could have seen a problem with that!

    Normal rains are sealed by the bottom door rubber thing, but big rains seep under... I mopped for three hours yesterday after spending 2 hours moving everything from the right side to the left side.

    Good Times!!

    January will be here soon enough!
