I actually saw a GHIG BOSS in my town on the way to the gym today. I think he either lives nearby or visits friends. It's like the 5th time I had seen the car.

Marilyn had a coat of CG butter wet wax. First time I tried. Awesome stuff.

Kona blue when swirl free and lusciously wet? Game over.

Also include the sushi pics (of course!!!)

Thanks a lot buddy! That was just taken with my iPhone! No joke, no edits. Imagine how it looked/looks in person. I was really impressed with that butter wax. It made my Kona look drippin'. Not bad for 5 year old paint!

Hey Sean, I finished reading your entire thread. I bow down to you for all the work you did. I can't come close to that. Wow. I'm impressed.

Is the car fixed now though after that unfortunate mishap on the dyno?

Nice pic Gary. I think that's the first time I've seen yours with the hood up. Did you score any hardware?

Thanks Burton! I would have had everything all done myself if it wasn't for the stupid piston! I'm almost positive that is why it stopped rotating on me when I was degreeing the cams.

As of right now, this is where I stand.


They just have to break in the engine and then it is off to the dyno!

^ now THAT sir, sounds completely NASTY.

God that's a beautiful thing. I'm so jealous. I'd give up my car/engine right now for that. You're even N/A. Imagine when you throw a blower on there.

Beautiful man! I don't know why they chose another for the win, but yours is a beast! almost 680 to the wheels on E85. Brutal.

Beautiful car sir!! Very nice.
So, do you have updated internals running that much power? Or, are you on a safe tune considering you are running E85? Almost 700rwhp and almost 600rwtq is awesome stuff.

Flushed out the brake fluid in my car, got rid of the 4-year-old crap and put in some fresh Motul RBF600.
Quite surprised how cloudy and somewhat dark the old stuff was.
Also, using an old turkey baster I sucked out whatever I could out of the clutch fluid reservoir and re-filled with the same new Motul RBF600 stuff.
I will do the suck/refill procedure a few more times until I can consider that flushed.

I'll put all the pics I took in my build thread, but here I will just show the difference between the old and new fluid, as it looked/looks in the clutch fluid reservoir:

^ awesome Gabe. I'm glad I did mine (well, I had my shop do it) when I did all my big fluid changes this spring. I noticed better pedal feel for sure.

Thanks guys and that's how they had us park. No hardware she's too young but she got a lot of attention. I saw several dads explaining the Boss to their children.
