First day at the track started out well and I got some laps in but then had problems with the fuel filter and fuel pump - both of which came from the donor car. The fuel filter clearly had not been changed in quite awhile and the fuel pump had 204,000 miles on it and might have been questionable - this is one of the risks of buying a car that doesn't run (lots of other things can be wrong).

With that being said, the general impression of the new car is that it is friggin' awesome! With the less weight, the car accelerates a bit faster and the handling felt great with more camber (-3.5 deg front/-3.0 deg rear).

Topless, thanks for stopping by and saying hi today.

HRG is going to try and swap out the fuel pump overnight, so I might be back at the track tomorrow (or might not). If not, then it will have to wait 2 weeks until Streets of Willow. No disappointment, there are bound to be a few things that need to be worked out on any new build of this magnitude.
