I would not use fram, they are junk!!!! i have Cut one apart, they are cardboard inside and glued together thats right GLUED!!! I have also read some very bad horror stories about people using fram. The glue breaking down and the insides of the filter falling apart.

Re: Oil... what kind?

Is Royal Purple supposed to be leaky or something? I figured at almost $6 a quart and with SBR selling it, it must be the good shit. What about this amsoil? Good stuff eh? Cost doesnt matter much, its going to be a weekend/very occasional track car and I would be suprised to get 3000 miles in a summer. I think I will change it more often, and I am going to not use Royal Purple since I cant get it locally. So Mobil 1, Castrol GTX, and Amsoil seem to be the most suggested. How much is that Amsoil? Where can I get it?

Build on hold until I get a good paying job, either in school or once I get out. At that time a full tear down and complete rebuild should be in order.

The Purple People Eater will ride again... January 2011 can't come soon enough.

I think you can get Royal Purple at Napa now cant you? I bought mine from Summit.
