Updates on the XR (56K beware)

[white_2kgt]

Can't wait to see it on track next month!

Are you running open group?

Watkins Glen? I'm in Group 2, for the last time! Yes!

I'll have the same instructor as last year (who was great last year) and rather than worry about keeping up with your V-8 ass I'm spending my money learning so that I can then pass your V-8 ass ;-).

I thoguht about being in G3, and as fun as it would be and the stories it'd generate, this is my favorite event of the year and where I learned the most last year, so I'm focusing on that aspect. Plus this way I can ride in the Moostang.

That's cool. Maybe next year .

So we can have ride alongs at this event? Sweet.

wow very impressive Pete!! I can't believe how far its come lately. The seats look incredible, and it makes me even more excited about installing the same ones this weekend!

Pete, i'm a little slow, could you tell me what that moroso tank is in the 4th picture down? i figure it's part of the cooling system but i've never seen anything like it.

[Dave]

i believe it is an oil catch can, but Pete should confirm.

Looks awesome Pete, the XR has come an awful long way in the past year. Can't wait to see it on track. I'll give you the point when I see you in the rear veiw just so I have the opportunity to smell some b00st.

Scotty,

It's a header tank, or overflow tank, or coolant resivour depending on what you like to call it. And the black tank to its right is the overflow tank.

I had to replace the stock one because it was a plastic tank sitting just forward of the left strut tower. The heat from the turbo melted a hole in in :o . The battery used to be located where the Moroso tank is, but since it is now inside the car, I thought the big open space was perfect for some cooling tanks.
