Well, with one month left before the track opens the eclipse is getting a much needed makeover. Thanks to Ryan, Jessica, and Russ for all your help with the body and paint.

[talntid]

They are one of my sponsors this year so I got a pretty good deal. I think it is normally around $500.

[a1320honda]

Wheres the updates yo?

[QWIKRNU]

Its getting there. I'm bringing it to portland this friday so Lucas English can tune it. Then it goes back to tranceworx to finish up the paint. I'll be racing the 31st maybe sooner.

[94blueGSX]

that guy is amazing. He'll have it running flawlessly in an hour probably. The 31st may be my first time out to the track to watch at least.

HaHa, You just need the bottle then we can try it again.

[Jetblack]

LOL! The bottle will help but not solve the problem.

[QWIKRNU]

Well the engine is coming out again. It didn't like the nitrous on that 10.8 pass.

Engines in our toys should just be held in with zippers, be much easier that way. Velcro might even work. Kinda weird when you think about it, work for hours on end to make the trip down the track end quicker almost seems backwards lol. It sure is fun though.

LOL!!! Try wingnuts on the motor mounts.

Or some sort of clip, like a metal version of the things that hold the wiring harness together. Line it up, lower it down and onto the tranny clips and [SNAP], fire it up.

[flybynight]

I think you might beat me to the nines. Ive got to take a break and regroup over the winter. Hang in there and drive it like you stole it. let me know when your headed out again.

It's color coded for damage? That's awesome. I wonder what color "transmission" is?

"Oh man!!! Bent-valve orange again?!?! I am starting to hate that color."
