Mostly VIR the first year while Georgana learns to play nice with other cars on the track. Once she gets signed off and feels comfortable with the new set up, I'll haul her around to some other venues. She's got quite a few laps under her belt at Roebling, CMP, Rockingham, and Summit Point, but none at VIR, and none with Passing involved. Our track experience was with the NCCC, and it was running balls out timed qualifying laps, but spaced enough for no passing.

how did you clean up the rear hubs and driveshafts?
I got mine cleaned off, but not clean-clean the last time I had the wheels off and the half shafts out. looking forward to the first report of how it feels with coil-overs. |

What were you doing to the injectors? Plugging the secondary ones?
FYI I'm an instructor with NASA and have hundreds of laps around VIR I'll be instructing at VIR at the February and March events. Looking forward to watching more of the build!

She already hit up a co-worker that instructs and I'm attempting to get most of these mods done for the Feb event. |

Very cool. How much power will it make when ready? What kind of RPM will it turn?

Geeze I had no idea they were that heavy. If it's a track car start removing crap. I've got my car down to 2850 with the cage, fire suppression system and cool-shirt setup.

Changed out a leaky rear trans seal and installed a set of Beam Plates.
Almost forgot, we also swapped in a Hurst short throw! Last edited by Shrek; 01-16-2012 at 9:46am. |

So when are you going to wrap the car in clear bra because it's way too pretty to track
