It was hot (90) and sunny, slippery track in the afternoon but absolutely no issues with overheating. Even with poor grip and well used toyo RR's, times were pretty good, and I think I can get the car to the times I want. Actually bested the SPB lap record from 2008 on the cars maiden voyage, but that record seems high compared to what these cars are capable of doing.
Still lots to do on the car, more testing next weekend at Barber.

As someone who is completely green to working on cars/racing... I will be following this thread closely. My short term goal is to just get a solid 97-99 Boxster, drive it on the streets for a couple years, then convert to a SPB. Hopefully in a couple years, this thread will be a gold mine for me! Good luck with the build! Any tips for a rookie?
