Awesome Rick. What was your 60'?




Well my new 90mm MAF came in for R today. It comes with a xcal 2 tuner and a tune. The tune is a conservative tune that should get me to 400 rwhp with the exhaust mods I've planned. I've been told by more than one R owner that the engine is a bullet proof as they come. Between the cast iron block, the billet rods and forged cylinders and crank, it will take anything I throw at it.

I talked to a guy today that used to own #155. He is coordinating me purchasing a carbon fiber replacement splitter for the front that weighs 6 pounds and is made from carbon fiber and carbon Kevlar. The form was made from a original R splitter which is the only POS on the car. The original splitters are also non existent anymore. So I will get this splitter on the next few months and have it painted and i will use it on the car and store the rare original so it doesn't get damaged. I'm also going to install a sacrificial aluminum strip on the underside of the splitter for scraping the driveway, etc.

This will allow me to drive the car at least.

I need to get an aluminum strip for the bottom of my chin spoiler when I put it on. There's all sorts of scratches on the bottom of the bumper already

Not sure if that'll help or not. The plastic is soft and will bend on curbs, etc.

Loving my tuner. I can easily break loose shifting into 2nd now.

That's great to hear.

Now empty that tank and put 93 in there.

I had a contractor build a two story "shell" Addition with Garage. So I'm finishing the interior rooms, wiring, plumbing, etc. I got the subfloor structure in place, now comes the partition wall between the garage and living area. Then maybe I can throw some insul in quickly so it will hold some heat and hopefully I can keep chipping away through the winter.

The bldg dept has been real patient with me but I always get anxious when they come out. LOL
