Looks good. HOw does it do on the autocross?

Not last

I beat a Miata so I was pretty happy. The dead clutch and way too much sidewall tires hurt bad. The new Exedy/Zoom clutch is sitting in the garage for me to install tomorrow though

Just need to find a set of Flik's in 4x110 to put some 205/50/15's on...

It was the first even out for both me and the car so just the fact that I made 8 clean runs (no DNF's, didn't spin) and didn't even knock over a cone (I hit a bunch, but no penalties!) and still managed to drive home is a success!

I have a small list of items to fix/adjust plus the new clutch and tires all to do before the next event in 3 weeks. Then I'll get aggressive and try to move up the leaderboard! Unfortunately I run with the Porsche Club of America... so the movement up will be rough!

there is always a small list of things to fix! These cars are getting old. We need to get rich and then we can do full restorations without a single care in the world.
