mine goes in to GrooveRyders next week, do the intake pipe and a few other things, im pushing but not pushing if you know what i mean, i want to make sure we have all the i's dotted and t's crossed as quickly as possible without cutting corners.
Yeah fair enough. I know what you mean, short cuts only mean longer term pain. I am hoping to get mine into Speedfab sometime over the winter to look at some weight reduction and a new alloy dash. Should be nice when its done.

I saw the capri get one pass. It did leave the line nice, so you gotta be happy with that on radials. Track seemed good, just a very slow day. Glad I wasnt racing as I woulda been pretty frustrated. The waiting kills me lately...
