5 days before G&R last week my car was being corner balanced, then on to an allignment, had a full detail.... It was time for the first test drive by Don.

Oh Schnit the car will only go into 2nd and 4th gears. Don tries all his tricks, no luck. Don involves Jim Patrick together they try all their tricks... no luck.

Schnit again another G&R without my car. I knew showing up at G&R without my car again I would incur the ribbing of Elliot about my imaginary car. Off I went without the car and my tail between my legs. Surprisingly Elliot was nice about it, I can only assume he was on his meds that day.

Friday before G&R Don removed my trans and was off to the river, with a side trip to Patrick Motorsport. Don had arranged with Jim Patrick to come to his shop this week and diagnose the problem on the spot. I received a text Friday from Don that the "problem solved."

Big Props to Don at PMP to go out of his way (about 200 miles and a full day) and to Jim Patrick for agreeing to meet Don and fixing the Vellios shifting issue on the spot.

Hopefully I will be driving soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey Marv, I bought your 3.2 back in ahem..mumble mumble...2006? I had my own setbacks, including a 2 year 915 Wevo conversion at a well known shop in Burbank! Just the box, nevermind the axles, linkage, and assorted other confusing nonsense that I had to figure out myself. Well, good to hear that your project has come to fruition and I hope to see it one day.

Marv, if I can ask, what is the paint brand and color code for the Carrera GT Silver you used? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes it moves. I have been waiting to see this since 2006. Kris from Precision shot the video from his phone I can only hope that he was so excited that he was shaking. I hope to go out and see the car and drive it for the first time, maybe today.

First shakedown drive yesterday 12/28/2013. Initial thoughts OMG this is going to be fun. There some issues to work out with the brakes but the car feels remarkably balanced at low to moderate speeds, there has been zero suspension setup yet. The tranny needs some braking in as it shifts a little stiff. Also the close ratio gears and LS diff in the trans are new to me. It will take some getting used to. First drive in the car since about 2005. yay.
