I like the white! Let's do it!

In addition to the car upgrades. I've been trying to get my body in better shape. Today marks 14 weeks since I quit smoking. Have been eating healthy for the last 8 months. And have started intensive cardio training with a personal trainer from now until the week of the event. Putting my own personal weight lifting goals on hold.

 

and having lived at that altitude for 6 months, i can say walking around makes you tired, let alone concentrating on the road in a race car :O

 

haha. How fat are you guys?!!?!?!?

 

I believe this helps more than most think. Eat food with less preservatives and processed sugar (more natural food). Keep it up!

 

Did you guys make it to the car show on sunday?? hope ya did! car is incredible in person

 

I'm 5'6" about 152lbs.

I don't think anyone in our crew could be called fat.

 

I'm 5'7" 170lbs. I wish I weighed 152! I too am dieting for the benefit of my car. Reduction of easy to process carbs/sugars etc. works very well. So far I haven't lost much weight, but I feel better haha.

 

And I wish i weighed 170 lol. It wasn't that long ago that I was only 125lbs.

 

6'1" 170-175 when i was working at lockheed still i almost made 190 and couldnt fit in the race seat i've been riding my bike and running again lately to gain my cardio back.

 

Texan's that kno what to do in Colorado? That is something new! . Anyone that has lived in any Colorado mtn town will understand that one.

It's not so much breathing that can get to you it's drinking that usually does you in.

 

A couple years ago I trained non stop till my first race weekend and was down to 165lbs. at 5'10. I learned the hard way that over training to close to a event does not help. I ran out of energy from not eating enough carbs before Saturdays race and barely finished. Now I pay attention to the body's fuel and use bicycle racing suppliments along with the best food I can bring to the track.

 

That went back together quick - nice choice on the brakes. Seriously, these cars are going to be damn near identical twins separated at birth...one raised on a dirt farm, and one on a road course. LOL

^ the only thing different is the nut jobs piloting them up a windy mountain roads at 100+ mph! awesome!

 

they really are very very similiar! cant wait to meet you up there and we'll drink a beer to reuniting the long lost twins

 

took the car to a local tuner car show last sunday:


my baby girl likes to pretend to drive

after the car show, we got back to work on the car. i have since fixed the non-functioning OBD2 port, wired in the zeitronix wideband with boost, wired in the radiator fan, we reinforced the back on the hood a bit so it doesn't bow in so much, made an exhaust with a muffler cause it was to loud, lowered it as far as it would go on the KW coilovers, got an alignment, and here she sits on the trailer waiting for her first day on the track as the car it is today:


not sure if the 285 tires will fit, but i will test it later. my RPF1s didnt make it today, so i am borrowing TxEvo8's rims and tires:


and how she sits after the alignment:
