Nice one Dave, Fuel is a killer ride. I think you have a long list of changes made by now :_paranoid :D

I thought most of you would have checked out the article before this I guess not, it was a least three years ago. Thanks everyone for the props on FUeL, Jason at G-Force gets all the credit, as the article says I just wrote the check.

Is sounds like you drive the car a lot on and off the track. What upgrades have you made to the car since you bought it?

Matt, I also remember seeing your car being built but unfortunately, I never saw it finished.

I try to drive it and track it as much as I can, that's harder then you think living in Canada with winter basically six months a year, can't wait for spring to start driving the shat out of it!! For upgrades since I owned it, I always seemed to be tweaking or dialling in something because the track really beats up on a car. Right now it's been back at G-Force for a while getting a bit of a work over.The car already handled extremely well and did not really need anything. So this was a bit crazy but Jason lined up selling my entire front clip, wheels, tires and brakes which allowed me to get into a DSE front clip. Really just to get the wider wheel up front and I always wanted one.

So that just kept rolling into:
- the DSE front clip (as previously stated) it had a modified stock
- dual adjustable shocks front and back
- new front Baer brakes (same as before but for the DSE)
- new HRE's almost the same - <<wider fronts>>!! 893 r's is the style
- Lemons headers
- new exhaust
- BS3 ECU (it ran stock GM 2002 Camaro, which was really limited, especially with the Harrop intake. Still tweaking it out)
- new balancer and floating sensors and a bunch of other ECU work around crap. lol
- twin breather lines, with a tank (was always battling a crankcase/pressure issue on the track- the cars only real short coming)
- new brake and power steering lines (obviously)
- Moroso oil pan
- Norris Motorsports fuel breather
- changed the clutch a few times (another story)

Wow- I think that about covers it?

Onelap- James has it figured how to run a car Pro Touring car in Canada, don't.... leave it in Cali!:bow:

Wow-that's a lot of work. The car should be even better with the changes.
