Autocross!

According to the CFR website, that date has been changed for the Brooksville event. But I guess you have to register by the 16th, so I'll be missing that one.

Lucky me, there was none. The rock did manage to rip my undertray into pieces, bend one of my tie bars and put two dings on my muffler. Other than that all vital parts were untouched. The cross brace-support beam that the front lower motor mount is mounted on took the brunt of the damage and saved my tranny. Oh well no big deal. Ordered new cross brace. With the under tray removed, I finally decided to make plans to have my ACT clutch and ProStreet Flywheel which have been collecting dust in my room installed. Making an appointment at TTPE in Orlando for the end of this month. I've also went ahead and ordered a true 3" TBE from RnR. Im also planning on adding a few other things in preparation for the alcohol injection. Watch out for debris on the road way, especially on some back road with poor lighting!!!!
Man I still have the stocker tie cross bars I could have saved you some money

It should be. Everything was ported and bored. I asked Mark if he wanted me to take some pics after everything is back together and he sounded like he was already planning on that. I'll be driving around on low boost until I can get Mark to retune it. I am not taking any chances this time. Besides, I'll have to break the motor in anyway.

Mark, thanks for offering your cross bar braces. Im keeping them off for now. Looks like your going to have a stout car amigo. You definately have to bring it to the the meet once you get it back. Looks like 30 PSI all day for you once shes broken-in. Juan, do you still want that HKS filter? It's yellow but it's free!
