Car might be at the meet

If so it will be on a pump map, and miles being put on to seat the valves and break in the clutch.

I intend on getting the C16 map / E85 map shortly after everything is running.

but i am willing to bet you would have FAR more than 3 grand worth of fun carving up mountain roads.


Who did the cage for $800 ? is it a bolt in or welded in... Also how many point.

I am looking for an 8 point weld one, but they are like $1200 + and dont have that kinda dough just to be "allowed" to race at the track... But would love it to just be safer.

that one was an autopower bolt in 6 point.

wouldn't be the safest option for a fast drag car or a hill climb car, but it would be legal for hill climbing. not sure about NHRA rules though.

A lot of you guys already know, but for those of you who don't, I did the impossible yesterday. I traded in my Apex Silver VIII... I traded it for an Apex Silver X. It was a very emotional day for me as my VIII meant a lot to me. I was very sad to see it go, but at the same time I was excited to have a reliable performance car once again! It just seemed like my VIII became a money pit. I do have a bunch of parts for sale. I'll post up a list as soon as I go through everything. Hopefully I'll get some pics of the new ride as well.

Congrats! Where did you get the X at? Options? I know you said you wanted to keep around the same payment - hopefully they were able to do that for ya!

Thanks guys! Justin tried to explain how to post pics, but I forgot.

I got one with the SSS and Aero packages. All of the X's at Baierl had both packages except for one. I actually was interested in the base one until I saw how much better I thought the aero package looked.

That's a darn good idea. I should have taken side by side pics. I think I'm the third X guy around.

Sweet, hope you enjoy the new car - its always fun having a new car

Just remember if you leave them stock they don't turn into money pits as easy!
