Damn that’s so crappy, ppl on roads are too interested in their phone then noticing anyone around them.
i also raced CX which was much safer so maybe I’ll get into it again but never road riding.
thats about where I am too lol

Been a little while since posting anything , just enjoying the car and life lol. So I hate my downpipe ever since I had a flex section welded on and only because the fab guy really screwed the fitment and my o2 housing has a heli-coiled hole now because of it. Anyways I’m thinking of getting a JMFabrication downpipe o2 housing vband combo ? I hate bolts and the external dump was recommended to me by Aaron at English racing when we were tuning car.
I'm most likely going to get it shot peened and ceramic coated for the winter project and may pull motor out and re paint the bay better this time with my paint gun setup from Eastwood. Also planning on doing a BS delete now that I have the oem Miller tools used for the job along with swapping out the act throw out bearing for an oem unit but that’s about it this go around.
Im either keeping the bay silver like exterior color or possibly changing the bay color to the darker gunmetal color not sure yet, either way I can do a better job. Keep ya posted....
