The spoiler looks great on there Dane. I hope it helps out on the track.
Any idea when you will be able to see how it does?

I wish tomorrow, but no way. The drive home was horrible. The slightest bumps hurt. :faint:

Hang in there Dane.:cheers:

Did big willow a bit back. Some horrible pix.

At big willow I was having problems with the brakes going to the floor. I'd have to pump them before every turn. Turns out the Wilwood Dynapro's are NOT designed for actual track racing. Show touring brakes. Pretty, but don't push them too hard. . The Dynapro's calipers were ballooning under pressure. Very scary. The center bolt in the caliper like on the SL6 is a MUST for anyone tracking their vehicle hard. The incident could have killed me easily had I not reacted quickly enough and pumped the brakes. Why they sell those calipers I have no idea. Maybe it was an isolated incident with my particular configuration? After diagnosing the problem with guldstrand, Wilwood admitted the brakes were insufficient for my application and upgraded me to SL6's. Great customer service on their part and I'll provide them some feedback next track outing.


I did a road trip and drove the car from LA to Indio CA and around the Salton Sea. It averaged 15mpg in 5th and I got there in a half tank. Amazing. I need new window weather stripping asap. The windows howl... Girlfriend loved the roadtrip and said it rides great. Air conditioning would be nice, but it goes against everything my car stands for.

Stopped at this amazing house after a detail and took some much needed updated photos. Yes I actually had the car cleaned :lol:

Note the Jake's rod shop spoiler. Had it powder coated to match the wheels/front spoiler.

app is cool. Not sure GPS speedo is accurate. It was way off on the drive up. But the checkpoint system with split markers is brilliant. $5 app that does $800 worth expensive logging gears work. :thumbsup:

Camaro looks nice Dane, don't know if I have seen it that clean. :thumbsup:

I agree Corey. Looks really nice Dane. The stance is nice. Plus, you don't see that color combo everyday!!
VERY NICE!:thumbsup:

thanks guys. Been daily driving it while the minis being built. Gets 8mpg around town and 17mpg on the freeway which is surprising to me...

a new video from the guys that shoot video at Big Willow. Its halfassed but still fun.

That was awesome man:thumbsup:

no more CCWs. They're for sale.
