    All I need is a set of valve covers and my parts list is finished. Finally! Motor is still 4 weeks out and heads are 2 weeks out.

    They actually just laid off a bunch of guys off work. I've been laid off for two months. Good thing I had some money saved up. I hear you have a top secret project going on right now.

    I love this little headlight restoration kit. Repolishing everything I can. My blower and inlet had flaws from the factory. Looks 10 times better now. One more polish and it'll look like a mirror. I will be polishing the bolt and washer holding the pulley on. It's really been bothering me.

    Looks good! You ever tried Micro Mesh? That's what I use for all my polishing.

    Never heard of it. Details? And where can I find it?

    It goes from 1500 grit to 12000 grit and includes a foam pad and compound. Works good I think. We use it on aircraft windows at work also. Removes scratches pretty good.

    Im at 3000 grit and then a cotton cloth. If that could fit my 16v drill. I'd get it. Heck my 3000 grit pad is very smooth. Feels like a normal piece of paper.

    This is all hand polishing. I don't think they make anything to fit a drill.

    I might be able to use that on my throttle body.

    Got my carbon fiber diffuser in. Manufacturer claims 450+lbs of down force and drop 60lbs in weight.








    Should look something like this when installed. I can go with a dual 4"tip or a custom large single tip.

    I seen a fiberglass one in person and it looked sick. I'm assuming the carbon fiber would look even better.

    Yeah Id say it will. I like the look of the carbon fiber one myself. And to save 60 lbs is impressive as well.

    That how I like to lighten up my cars. By buying nicer stronger/lighter parts rather than stripping things out. Its a win win win situation.

    Yeah that's one way of looking at it. With a car that nice, I wouldn't (or couldn't) bring myself to gutting it. That's for sure!

    Any word on the cage idea?

    If I cut it up I know I'll regret it. Haven't decided on a cage yet. I'm not sure how much I'm going to track it. If I blow this motor. I'll probably jump off a cliff
