Facts are - my car is fast - I like to brag about it. some insecure guys will get upset and start to wine like women cause they are jealous.

Hey Al,
Have you run your new setup against the x-mas tree yet?

I should have head straight for the track with my car - BUT - foolishly I drove around for 700 miles trying to give it an easy break in and by the time I did that there were a few loose ends poppping up which needed to be dealt with
This time when i get it all together - it will go straight to the dyno and then to the track - all without passing go and collecting $200.00
Only good thing about it so far is I was able to have a COMPLETE blast driving such a fast car on the street and I got to take a few of my EVO buddies for some sick rides - I once drove a NINJA 1000 street bike - thats about the only other thing I have been on that is this fast on the street

Hey Al,
What new parts are going in? What problem are you having with the valve guide? Sory to hear about the problems. I hope you will have it all sorted out soon. I'm anxious to see what it'll do on the track. Keep us posted.

Al, I have an Exedy clutch in my car myself and from what I remember you have an Exedy clutch in your car also right?
I noticed that in the last post you made you mentioned that you were "re-freshing" the clutch, could give us details on this? I am just wondering if this thing is going to hold up (my clutch) and for how long?
Thanks.

In any event our sponsor Ferrea is comming out with racing guides in a few weeks - those should help
I am stwitching over to a NX 75 shot set up and also putting in the Tein EDFC
While I'm at it I am replacing my Cusco clutch disks which BOZZ was kind of enough to source out for me
In about 10 days we should see some good things on the track

OK, good luck. Spray is in, but I also bought slicks now. That should really help my 2nd and 3rd gear spinning. I figure, if I hook, it should go 9's off the bottle.
