Alvin,
I was look'n for you but didn't see you. What happened?

Aside from rattling its self loose (everything was loose, infact it tossed the alternator as I rolled into town) it was well behaved. The carbs turned out to be jetted way rich, which may have cooked my piston rings. But I got that fixed friday. Saturday I was fighting with the alternator again, when it dumped the upper mounting bolt it took the threads in the head with it so I have found a temporary solution. The AutoX was fun. I discovered that my tires that have less than 2000 miles on them have absolutly no grip. The car shows enormous potential, 2nd gear was all that was needed for the entire course. The lightweight flywheel saves brakes, rather than hitting the brakes, a simple lift of the gas is all that was needed to slow the car. The rear sway bar causes the car to be on the edge of traction all the time, so it will go away. The LSD is sweet, I'm glad I spent the $ for it. I will return next year hopefully with a painted car with tires that stick .

On a side note, does anyone have a set of wheels that are light with a 13mm negitive offset that they would be willing to part with? I'd like to find some 14X6 or 15X6 or wider (up to an 8 inch)
