Saturday update...

Was happy to see this....


Just meant the T/A was outta the garage again.
I did drive her about 100 miles today. Went to a friend's place in south Denver to get some help bleeding the clutch. Much better now.
And I can say this much...4th gear is MEAN on the highway. Jumps QUICK from 65 MPH.

I think I have decided to wait on the powdercoating. At least until next winter. Thinking I will be needing some new springs.

Today was spent working on cars.
Started with the T/A. Had the calipers off and cleaned. Painted them last night. Put them back on this morning and re-bled the system. Then drove down to my friends place and bled the clutch. Pretty much the end for the T/A. Nice to drive her though.
No way this is a daily driver though. Got stuck in some 10 MPH stop and go traffic today....sucked.

Got home....had to change the GA's oil and rotate the tires.
Another good thing..no T/A in the garage....Nice and clean eh??

Dang, I was excited to see those powder coated rims on your ws.6. Oh well. Definitely need more vids though.

Re: Saturday update...

They will probably still get powdercoated.
Just not for 6-7 months.

I will try to get some footage soon.
Supposed to get over a foot of snow tomorrow and Monday.

Re: Saturday update...

With traction...at sea level...the car would be good for 10's. Of course...this is on slicks. Won't be doing that yet.

No dyno time yet. Soon. There is a dyno day coming up on the 15th of April. Should have it broken in and tuned for that.
No track time yet either. Being in Denver I am looking for a mid 12 at 114 MPH or so. Not much traction. I think even on street tires at sea level she would run a 11.

She feels mean on the highway. From 65 MPH in 4th gear pulls HARD.

Still have some little things to take care off before she is truely ready for the street. But she is close.
