Call over to Wilwood and ask for Steve Cornelias.. tell him I said it was ok for you to check her out. -- PM me if you need my cell phone number.

How did she look driving by?

As stated she is officially back on the road. I drove her about 20 miles from the interior guy to Wilwood where they are going to fine-tune my brakes. About the only "road issue" I had were a few small rattles and such that I need to track down.

Here she is at Wilwood, damn they have a NICE shop!

Drool Drool Drool,
just returned from Willwood and being showed around by Mike Hamrick, Steve you have one beutiful car, paint is amazing, interior is Bitchen, I'm just jelous and need to get off my dead ass and finish my car.

As for how your car looks going down the road its bad ass, all i could see from my office was the rear end but it was like for 100 yards before it was out of sight, I'm sure its going to be a view that lots of people will only see, congrats and enjoy SEMA, oh and I think i need to paint my new black callipers red now.

No, it will be locked in the Convention center. However, it will be at ATS sometime Sunday hanging out before I drive it to SEMA.

I will post up times when I know.

Looks great!! Congrats on getting it back on the road and ready for SEMA in time! I bet you were nervous as hell driving it over there!!

road again. So did you load that tune up in your Ipod?

Congrats on gettting you car finished for the second time.

So was it an easy ride or did you flog it just a little? It would not hurt my feelings to see a syp pic of the finished interior either.

How did those R888 feel?

Steve,

yes the hood was open and all the wheels were off, this gave me a nice view of all the workings, I think i will upgrade to the larger 4 piston rears like yours and the 13" rear to match my fronts.

Yea, I was.. I kept waiting for some truck to make a bad lane change.. or other disaster to happen. lol

I just need to get my "sea legs" back. I also need to mess with shock settings and do a bunch of "fine tuning".

I stopped at the gas station to put in some fuel (only had 4 gallons in it). I start to put in 91 and then notice the station sells 100 octane. What the hell, I put in 10 gallons of the 100 octane. Not needed but I might as well start off on a good note. lol

It was an easy ride. The brakes were a bit mushy (why it's at Wilwood) so I didn't want to push my luck.

The R888s felt great. The didn't "hunt" down the ruts in the road at all. I think they might of been a touch noisier than the RA1s. Engine temp never went over 190 and the fuel pressure held steady at 59psi.. so far so good.

Good to see they were working on it, I don't know how much better the fancy rear brakes I have work compared to thier normal 4-piston rear but they look stunning.

I will be happy when it's sitting in the SEMA booth and I have a beer in my hand.
