Paint is Krylon Sail blue for those who care and are not afraid of the rattle can.
Pretty happy with how it looks. Although the olive drab color was kinda novel - they just never popped. Add a little brake dust to the flat color and the wheels just looked dirty and disappeared in the wheel wells.
A few shots in the driveway.

The 27th, with Cantrell Motorsports. I wanted to do more days in July - but I've been spending money and time getting ready to shot my first 3 Gun shooting match (buying guns 
)
Pretty stoked to see how these Continental tires feel. I'm a little worried about them rubbing in areas. They are 275's, and I've been running 265's. My 265 BFG R1's were huge with square shoulders and did rub a little, the Toyo R888 265's had no rubbing. These are basically Hoosier 275's so we'll see.

Rims look great!!!!
Off topic question: I have had a request from some other EvoM people for the "Keep Right Except To Pass" stickers. How much do you want for say...... 10? And I got a new pool cue case so I need some more of the tank vinyl that has the "RK" in them.
LMK if you are interested in doing some more vinyl.

Freshened up the alignment. It's a good idea to check it once a year at least - things never seem to stay locked in place especially in the rear. I had one corner that had given itself some toe out in the rear.
Should be ready for the track on Wednesday.

Had a great day at the track yesterday. Car ran great, except for one minor issue. Heading out for the 2nd session of the day when I tried to roll into the throttle the car was misfiring like a banshee. So I pulled into the paddock to check things out and upon opening the airbox found the air filter had delaminated. The cone filter section had come detached from the metal base, which is bonded in place with epoxy. So I drilled some holes in the top of the filter and some in the base and held it together with zipties. That worked the rest of the day. I'll add a picture later.
Continental tires are sweet, ran some good laps on them.
Should have some video later in the week.
brake dust on the new paint job.
