Started up the car today..
It has been a long while since the car has ran.
I have the new turbo on it, but still need some more work done (coolant lines, new oil drain line, etc). I have been having a problem with cold cranking, and today finally found out that my water temp sensor was stuck reading at +53c. Yet, it is really -1c outside. Hence the lack of fuel / start.
Fixed that problem, and on first crank it came to life. Now I remember why I love my car so much. Nothing like the sounds of my car in the garage.

Marcos Acosta & son will fly down in March or so to dial it back in.

It shouldn't be a problem. All in boost and foot controll.
It should still have a some-what flat curve to it ("Q" trim), and the smaller 1.30 AR.

You're right. It's all in the driver. I just don't know many road racers putting down 700 to the ground in a 2600lb car
You've got those enormous ********* though, which explains alot!@

Here is a quick vid I created today. My camra sucks, and I don't sounds retarded in real life (like the video makes it out to be). On my to-do list is to get a new (nice!) camra that can record worthwhile.
