Here are some pictures and an in-car video. No blazing fast lap times this time out. I'm still a bit rusty because I haven't driven on track in almost 3 years, and the car has only been completed for 12 hours at this point. There is a lot of speed potential in the car (more than my driving ability could use this past weekend) and I can't wait to see how it fairs against other cars in it's class after we get some development time under our belts.

And for anyone who was wondering if the Boxster cooling system could handle the cooling needs of the Subaru turbo engine... this is what we had to do just to get the car to run at normal operating temps. This was with a restrictor plate in place of the functioning thermostat. We are going to have to go back to a thermostat. Without any tape on the front end, the water temps never got above 125 degrees while driving.
