Wake me up when you buy real tires for it.

It actually came with a very nice Sparco EVO passenger seat installed. But no belts for it so I popped it out and mounted the Traqmate box I'd had for the Camaro right in that spot. I'd like to put it back in at some point.

I don't need to swap out the Yokohamas for Hoosiers. I'll drive up to Sonoma and bring my street tire excuses with me.

Probably best for his ego that he pulled the seat. It would be uncomfortable saying no to his ride along offer.

Ride along on aged street tires with a PDK at Sonoma FTW

Now that I've said this, I can say that I've been doing my best to ignore my junk for a little while here, and you punks keep getting me all excited again . . .

Try not to overheat the thing again. My kart likes this so little that it blew its stupid little head gasket. My garage is mechanically desperate right now.

Oh, and what's with the Swiss cheese lightening efforts around all of that structural sheetmetal under the hood? The Boss 302 toughening guide suggests doing the exact opposite (looks like what they used to do to kids' BMX bikes in the old days for racing) . . .

Thanks man. You nailed it here. I won't post the only actual video I have of this car... the overheating session driving around my neighborhood.

No idea on the swiss cheese. I never even noticed. Now I'm scared. Thanks.

I think Rob and Matt were standing behind me in said meeting and egging me to raise my hand. What are friends for?

The list is smart I agree. Just one more thing to not be a potential fail. I will give myself one more track day to get the routine down on my own.

There is one available switch -- I thought about adding the traqmate but we will see if that's a mainstay. I have the manual switch with the pull handle right on the passenger side of the tunnel. I like the manual vs electric... one less thing to go wrong, assuming no "driver error."

Hopefully, we can both have cars going simultaneously long enough to hit some track days when normal people are working, before winter kills opportunities. The Fox rocks!

Thanks man - you nailed it... again. You're, as Dan Patrick used to say... en fuego. We need to get out ASAP I agree. Team Bastard!

Smart, Matt. Smart.

I'd gladly put the 4 bolts back in that hold the seat and put you in it for a ride along... sans belts of course.

I'll put the bolts in, I've seen what you do with tools in your hands.
