this is the work that I asked them to do. the PO blew an engine and took it upon himself to toss in a new one and dump the car. I really think the car would have burned up had I not taken this car to a very careful shop. they showed me so many problems that i did not know about.

this work was done in preparation for the cars first track weekend @ the ABCC. lots of labor but I'm pretty happy with the car. put about 200 miles on it tonight just to make sure everything was ok. downtown chicago traffic, highway, random wisconson roads.


lets hope the car stays strong and can make it through all 3 days !

Awesome! Looks like you have a pretty complete list, and things I have personally fixed on my car *after* it has been to a shop . Road America by chance? What a blast that track is, watch out for the deer, and good luck with that weird carousel!

thanks! I'll be at abcc ( autobahn country club in Joliet Il) this Sat Sun and Mon, then Grat is next and RA is right around the corner.
lots of stuff on that list is no big deal but when i got the car i didn't have time to work on it. I was busy parting out my last car that got a little dinged up at an Alpha event at RA this summer.
