Apologies for such the delay in any updates. Haven't been doing much actual work to the car lately, other than driving it around, taking pictures, going to shows and showing it off.




(even in a line of classic Ferrari and Porschii, including a RUF Yellowbird, we still pull the crowd!)





But that doesn't mean we have been absolutely idle! The cheap oil resivoir we've been running keeps gurlging out the cap, so we dropped some real money on a nice Moroso unit. No problems since!

Also, the entire timeline of the car is now written on the hood. This started way back when we started racing it, as a way to keep track of who was faster. Now it includes all the work of the engine swap with dates. We plan to keep doing the lap time documentation, as well.



We have also decided to attempt a new exhaust setup. The 3" hater honkers were fantastic, but simply way too loud, even with the two Borla mufflers. So we've decided to drop down to 2 1/2 inch pipes. But that's not all! We're going to try 180 degree headers.

Yeah, this'll be fun.

Wait... took me a while but 501??? are you a Star Wars fan?!?

Yeah, I can't stop driving my car too. TOO much fun to drive and I'm so confident in the engine after I dropped the compression from 11.1:1 down to 9.0:1. I've put over 300 miles since I got it back together last weekend. 87 octane NO PROBLEM.

So when are you gonna weld those doors shut, remove the links and guts from them? You know all that unnecessary weight. LOL
