Installed an 034 Motorsports intake on the R since the quiet factory intake was now inaudible with the new exhaust :lol:

Summit's shipping is ridiculously fast. I ordered this Sunday night!

I installed new power steering lines and cleaned out the power steering cooler, got that all mounted up:

A bunch of tools for making AN lines since I'm going to need to do that soon...

Finally got the right sized washers for my engine mounts delivered from Fastenal, so I went over after work this evening to see if I could get the engine mounts installed in preparation for dropping...

Yowza. And you know for $500 you're getting a little plastic box with probably some resistors in it or a dumb signal-spoofing circuit.

My dad told me a story, from when he worked at General Motors, where he and another engineer swapped a Corvette engine into a Corvair. It kept snapping the driveshaft because it was so short! I'm...

Got a little further today.

Whichever way you go, pick a model that doesn't have a lot of NLA parts :banghead:

It's been a while. The flywheel's clutch holes were off-center, so I sent it back...

I wish there was some measure of that as part of wheel specs. Had the same problem when I was trying to find a replacement set of wheels for the 190 that would clear the huge SL calipers up front.

She's still for sale :(

Took the R to The Ridge to see what it could do :D We got passing showers all day so the track was usually damp, sometimes dry, and sometimes wet with puddles. I was going to swap the Fahrenheit's...
