Ah, at last, its alive and kicking.. and turning, and stopping!

Thanks to Sean for the countless hours tweaking and turning, bending brake lines and swapping Master Cylindars.

Thanks to Dave who tonight helped get the brakes bled properly and got to experience the first ride with the newly found stopping and turning power.

If only I'd been three-four days sooner Undecided. O well, it'll be around for the sceanic drive! And whatever the next event is!

Some details can be found here.

And in later news, Chad blew his engine. Role reversal!

Glad to have been a part in the buildup; just wish I could have been able to help more throughout the whole process.
The biggest congratulations go to you and I hope you are able to enjoy that car on road and track for years to come.

Scott,

Thanks for the complements on the site!

The turbo was replaced with a T3/T4 Stage 3 from Turbonetics...

So far, I like it. Reasonable spool and lots of airflow!
