If winter didn't hit hard, it would have been roughly under 6 months.
Thanks Jack!
ACK!! I just noticed the rear-suspension has sagged a bit since I last set it.... SON OF A DIDDLY!
LOL.
Break out the wrenches.

I was just gonna ask about that 
ive seen lots of SLC pics where chassis "wedge" looks reversed. Must be all the weight in the back.

Do you have any plans of suction cupping a Go-Pro on for some ride along videos in the near future?

HA!! I'm glad someone got my references! LOL
Flanders is the easy one, Bill the cat... not so much.
I did a video for a ride a long but now that I have the sound down to a decent level I'm thinking I need to redo or add that part of the video.
Thanks for the great video, was fun riding along with you.
Great stuff Eric!
loved the woots of excitement during the drive, in fact it was about the only 'in car' dialogue i could hear properly! haha.
looking forward to more SLC adventures.
cheers

That was the front spoiler, I had the RF coil-over log collar come loose and it was maybe 1" off the ground. I fixed it in later runs.
Other than that, the car performed well. I have some issues to work out, which is pretty standard with any build of any car... testing, refining, testing, tweaking...testing... etc...
Eric, I've watched a lot of builds over the years on this forum and you got your car on the road as fast or faster than most. Good job on the quick completion. It looks like your first gear is not to long and that 525hp LS3 is not as lumpy as I thought it might be. Driving around town looked like a hoot. Well get that thing sorted out and take it to the track and have a large time. Make a bunch of laps and keep the GoPro filming.
Thanks Matt, I'm not sure speed is a virtue, but I enjoy driving as much as I enjoy the process of building so when the finish line is approaching, I get a little more than excited
LOLI have an appointment with a local shop that does suspension setups for GT3 Porsches so, they seem to know what they are doing. THey are going to give me a proper alignment. My alignment was close enough to get me through a basic shake down event, but I really need something proper if I'm going to take any of this seriously.
I have a big event in July. Hopefully I can get most of it worked out by then.
Trying to find some 200treadwear tires that fit the 19's on the car because the tires I have now just aren't sticky enough.
*sad face*Trying to find some 200treadwear tires that fit the 19's on the car because the tires I have now just aren't sticky enough.
Eric, I'm intending to grab a set of Toyo Proxes R888's (Front 275/35/18 and Rears 325/30/19) to use for the racetrack, best thing is they are street legal in Australia. Idea is to grab a second set of rims from Fran and wrap those rims in the R888's and throw them on for track work.
R888's might suit your autocross and other events??

They are 100 treadwear. Unfortunately, no.
Eric, We don't use 'treadwear' here in Aust. For my sake can you expanded on why they are not suitable? Are you required to run '200 treadwear' for your autocross and other events you wish to complete in?
or
are you just looking for a tire with longer wear life?
cheers
Stu
