Sure let me call Mike and make sure my car will be done. :wink:


HAHA sorry I am out. Next time I will be in the dirt is the Night Race. If Mike gets my car done I plan to do a quick test and re-valve Saturday morning. Then do a lap mid-day.

The red skittle is close, but progress is slow. I need to install the CVs (Jesse cleaned them bitchen) and axles, finish mounting your lights and wire them, and install the rear shocks then I am ready for a shake down run with Laura driving. Then I need to change the seals on the front coilovers, change the oil and filters, and tighten up the suspension and the red skittle will be race ready!
