Tony, the gf ordered me a GoPro3 for x-mas with all the mounts and it finally showed up this week. I'll be sure to take some footage at the event in NH this weekend.

Little picture update from the past two races and a couple new parts.

Test and Tune at Team O'Neil - Pretty fun event on a half ice skid pad with a long banked straight to the side.

New England Dragway - The day started out as kinda mushy snow and turned into a full on mudpit.

E-code front setup...the buckets are toast and I'm refinishing the trim. Still need to find a flathood but I have a lead on a newer front end that is local.

alright, well go get dirty then.

We have coilover bags too if your interested. Should help keep the shocks clean

Little things going on here and there. Autocrosses, rallycrosses and recently a hillclimb at Okemo Mountain in VT. The hillclimb was extremely fun but was the epitome of "have fun driving a slow car fast". I might have lifted only a few times for the 30 turn, 2.5 mile course. Power hasn't been a focus with this car yet but in preparing for the hillclimb I added a hobbs switch to trigger terminal 11 for 10psi and set the mbc to 12. Made a bit of difference but now I need to shim the fuel dizzy and up it to 15psi. Also have an A cam I got from another member that will go in soon.

Video of my best run at Okemo 2:51.86, breakout time was 2:43 (if you breakout you need a cage)

It's setup to switch on at 10psi so it doesn't lean out by 12. If i left it alone it would be around 12/13 afr by 10-12 psi.
 
Nothing since August when I parked it. Before that however I Terminal 11'd it and added a Grimmspeed mbc. My radiator didn't like 18psi(fuel was still good) and it sprung a leak...15psi was the happy spot. Also made a full 2.5" turboback over-axle exhaust.

Recently I've been helping out a buddy with his 83' K-Jet 242 and it's gotten me really motivated to make mine more awesome.
