Was looking for a picture to help out a builder & noticed a lot of time has gone by. One of the guys suggested I post a before & after shot.



Before



After

Have 12,000 miles on the car since getting the license plate in March 2015 & its still as much fun as it was on day one. Been very reliable, goes out almost every day year round, think I did better then some new car manufacturers. Have added some parts & upgraded the tune since I built it, now at 488WHP on a DynoJet.

There is a penalty for the extra power. Have used up the original tires & the clutch needs to be upgraded.



New



12,000 miles.

Will replace the Nitto 555R with street legal Nitto NT01 DOT compliant road course tires. Staying at 315 in the back but increasing the fronts one size to 275.



New clutch with 687 - FT/LB capacity splined to match the TKO-600.



Brake pads will also be changed during the annual inspection, fluid & filter change. The only fail in 12,000 miles was a dead fuel pump that was replaced under the parts warranty.
