If you guys are a couple Saturdays out, I'll stop by. The car should be running by then, and I need to get 500 miles on the new engine before I can start making WOT passes for tuning.

My car reeked before we even had that last race.
We smelled it just a little bit Jake was like "I think I blew up my motor, we're smoking like crazy" to which I said "Nope, but your brakes called. They hate you" Come to find out OEM rotors and pads dont like stopping 7 times in a row from 150. Who knew

BTW, updates of the whip, courtesy of Meesta Blake and his wicked awesome skills

Yeah I was thinkin here in a couple weeks... But I know the FC you are talking about I saw it everyday while going up to park, that car is nice.

Mine is Blue and Black Primer hood and headlight covers... for now.

Actually I use to park park down from your car all the time last semester, at the time I didn't know it was you... but I would check it out everytime I passed.

Hey, fawk you budday!!! I've put nearly a thousand miles on it since Blake fixed it nearly a month ago!

But my LS6 clutch is on it's way out. It slips when I'm going WOT right around 6k. I'm still driving it, just limping it around...enjoying good gas mileage and my new stereo! These cars are awesome for nice weather DD duties!

DK rocked it at D1GP!!!
Qualified 8th for the "TOP 16" ...that's including fully sponsered professionals!!!
Unfortunately got knocked out the first round of tandem by a 1,000,000 hp s15 silvia.
It was obvious that it was the difference in power, because DK had better entry speed and angle for both runs.
The S15 just created a gap at the exit where power and good tires count.

He'll be on the "option" video for sure.

Not bad for all season tires.

Mad props bro.

Congrats DK!

Rob, there is actually a couple of inches of clearance to the belt on Nick's car, it just looks weird in the picture. The hot side will be coated also. We don't run quite as hot as you crazy rotary guys; I have 1500 miles on my car, and no visible damage to the belt, and I'm only ~.75" of clearance. Yay for Gates belts!
