German Pushrods

Love it :tup:

… But I want to see video of you sliding not just sitting there :slight_smile:

fuck, dat sound

Really like how it revs and returns to idle very quickly.

little baby clutch ftw!

Would love to provide some, but I had a few major issues over the weekend. GoPro died and would not recharge, I haven’t wired a USB port into the car yet for power so it was impossible to fix. Also I had a problem with the PCM/Throttle Body/Pedal communications which was causing the throttle body to shut down and go into “protection idle mode”. This meant I entered the first corner, powered through, gave it a big lift to snap it the other direction (and or got on the ebrake) and when the car saw the lift it disabled the throttle as protection. I spent the entire day doing diag, and drove one complete lap the entire day. Unfortunately this was caused by a used PCM I had, so I took a brand new one, had it reprogrammed. Should hopefully fix the issue.

The cage work is also done, which turned out fantastic. I sprayed it color matched to the car, but ran out of paint and need to grab 2 more cans to finish. There are a few little trim issues I need to finish up (vinyl wood grain, fix a few small fitment issues, shift boot), but for the most part the car is ready to go for spring. Hopefully get a few ice racing days in as well.



who did the cage?

Paul. I had several other places quote me, but they were prohibitively expensive. He took a bit longer than I would have liked, but I’m very very happy with the price, fitment, etc.

Forgot I had these.

This literally sounds like an angry cougar or some wild cat… It’s well worth the click!

Awesome job @BREETIME & @MPD47

Thanks :slight_smile: @DetailWNY just finished on the car and Ian and I were out taking a few photos before the season starts. Hopefully going to shoot some 4k video in the next few days while I do a quick test to make sure the new throttle stuff is 100% sorted before heading down to NJ for ClubLoose’s Opening Moves.

I’m extremely happy with the detail job and would recommend them to anyone! I’m really excited for Ian’s photos as well, this is a cell phone/instagram shot from his feed:

I can’t wait to see the ones from his real camera.

How much? $$

:naab:

Hahahahaha.

More photos from Ian:



Will post more as he does. :tup:

More @IanK hotness.

And a short clip of testing today, would totally embed if I could… JOSH! :wink:

If this car sounds this good coming through my shitty computer speakers, I can only imagine how insanely glorious it is in person. Well done to all involved :tup:

damn, cut that first shot too short by a few seconds.

I can’t get over how awesome that sounds :tup:

I love how he passes smoke that he made on the previous lap
