I had a fuel leak  retuning weds to double check that my tune isn't off from the fuel leak.

Thanks dude!

Here are some updates:

Randomized p0016 code... I can't figure it out, and i've talked to 2 engine shops and a tuning shop. No one knows. Replaced the ckps and it's still doing it.

Have a slight clunk on start... Not sure what from. I'm going to dig deeper when I have a chance. 

Had a fuel leak, turned out to be the FPR pushing on the oeteker clamp, easy fix.

Taking her to bandimere on Wednesday to race. I'll be in the 12's... Just not sure how low. I'd like to break 12.3.

Got an alignment and my front left has a clunk. Taking her back tomorrow to an alignment shop. Not the same one though. They stripped a bolt last time.

She's running and driving well... Cold starts under 40 degrees are a bish. I'm going to fiddle with stuff in the tune.

For all of you thinking about doing an aftermarket fuel rail... Rethink using oeteker clamps. They suck. I have yet another fuel leak. It seems like as soon as it gets colder and colder the rubber hoses shrink and I have more problems.

Now my shifter is starting to vibrate more... I need to look into that. 

I just got front brakes. I'll do those either tomorrow or the next day.

Sheared a brembo caliper bolt.  caliper is at a machine shop as we speak

so... "Heads By Drew" took care of the caliper. He did an awesome job. I'm overly pleased... and the price was less than I was expecting.

I'm never changing the front rotors on my brembos again. That is the biggest son of a gun ever.

So... since I took the caliper off... I bled a bunch of fluid. I tried just bleeding that side, but my brakes are spongier than snot. Also... the inside bleeder on the front left is stripped. That's always nice. I'm to the point where I just want someone else to do it. I'm not able to drive my car though!
