The first drive went pretty well all things considered. Just a few issues to deal with this weekend:

Stalls under hard braking...likely need to drop the rear float level a bit
I want to install my 10º bushing in the distributor so I can bump my initial a bit more and re-tune my idle mixture
The bilstein shocks are even worset than I thought tehy would be. Not nearly enough damping for the spring rates I'm running...unfortunately they were purchased prior to some changes in my suspension plan. I hoped they would be good enough for this summer and then replace next winter but it was pretty bouncy and rolly last night. May have to step up to proper dampers sooner than I hoped.

Otherwise I was happy with it. I took it pretty easy since it was the first drive and I wanted to verify the brakes and steering were good plus break in the clutch a bit. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to open her up a little more.

Super nice! :thumbsup: How's it running now?

Great to see another PT car hitting the Cowtown streets in style. We'll have to exchange contact info and go play cars.

Amazing! Great choices on everything, turned out AWESOME!!! I know what you mean about endless winters. There is a silver lining though, it gives you half of the year to dream up and implement changes to make that sweet ride even better. Hope you get the ride sorted out. I'm sure once you do it'll be amazingly quick. :thumbsup:

Nice looking car...that 540 has got to kick some major ass with those r888's. I bet it pulls hard!
