Everybody needs a spare.
Are "Ben's Plenums" available anymore? Just curious?

Last I heard he was still making them.
But I think I remember he was now making them out of aluminum now.
That may or may not be true.

It's a pretty good plenum, but works better without the UAOS.
The AOS hose attachment is lower on it than on the stock or IPD plenum.

Winter tires off, Summer tires & rims on. Rear 295s look so much better than the winter 265s.

Put the top down and ran some errands. Spring is coming. Got my delivery of DT40 and Loctite 5900 from Charles today.

Eibach front and rear sway bars installed. Definitely one of the best mods I’ve done!

Default Rennkit Headlights
Installed a set of the new headlights from Rennkit./Jtec. Quality isn’t great but livable and I think the look is quite good. Also, just installed the ducktail and PORSCHE rear deck decal

please explain what a high-speed balance is? How is it done? What kind of equipment is it done on? What are the benefits of it over a hunter Road force balance?

Long story- It was part of a body kit I purchase from a seller in the Netherlands. The other parts were not up to my standard but was able to get the ducktail to work with some extensive body work. There are probably some better options in the Us...

Yea, I am on a wait list from a company in England CSR, very very similar to the one you have, this one is Carbon Fiber. I was hoping to save a $250. shipping charge.

It was a Road Force balance. Just didn't use the trademarked name.
