So while doing the engine tear down I found where my omp oil leak was coming from. Good thing I was premixing, even though I poped the motor anyway. 



Here's the fix, custom steel braid lines and fittings. 




Making progress, made a support plate for the seat, used some cool specialty bolts so my back doesn't feel anything. Also finish welding up the back end, just need to add gussets. Then the door bars and under chassis cross bracing.

Just got back from LA, did a AEM Series 2 EMS debrief and initial tuning setup seminar. This will be the EMS to have once it becomes available, I'm pushing to get an early unit late summer. Lots of really cool and usable features.

Rethinking my game plan with the race car. May put it on hold while I save up to buy a house. I would be stupid not to buy one right now with housing prices. Ugh.....


Also, thinking of ditching my plans to run street class in RTA and just build it to ITE and Mod RTA spec's once I start on it again. Which means I'm going to change the cage a little to be legal in SCCA competition. I was going to do it eventually.

GTC bumper painted and on the car. Just need to cut and buff it, let the clear out gas and then 3M clear bra it.


Will be starting on the diffuser section of the front splitter I designed, tomorrow. The plaster molds look good. Will be putting a gel coat on them and then make molds off them. Should be interesting how it turns out once done. jkstill will be the beta tester once one unit is made.


AEM install sooooooon
