this morning i burped the cooling system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
changed the oil.
timed the engine a little better
and reduced the caster on the front suspension for easier turning. (big difference)

she runs sooooo strong and handles sooooo well now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
shifts are smooth with ZERO grinding in any gears.
clutch engages perfectly.

got tons of stares at stop lights... it's the raaaadical cam. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
the cops didn't give me a second look as there were wayyyy louder cars and bikes around.
it's actually hard to break traction unless i REALLY try... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
not that i would ever try until i get the 930 or G50 trans upgrade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

i'm getting a strong feeling of satisfaction.

little things still need to be done like:
clean all grounds as the engine starts fine when cold but get weak when hot.
burp the cooling system again. it still creeps up to 200 in stop and go.
fix right blinker short.


Big thanks to everyone who's helped me along the way with you knowledge and motivation!!!!! And that's a lot of people! =-)


From one appreciative, happy guy,

Nice!


I like the way the pedestrian ran out of your way.

Hey, if you had roller bearings your car wouldn't shake like that over bumps.
