My Traqmate Antique model is basically the same as the new model.
only 2 options Sony HD with SD card or GoPro with SD card and I don't really like the lens or sound of the GoPro, so I'm sticking with my porno camera until I switch systems.

LOL, they treat me like they love me :-)
I just drove the first few miles on the car. ODO was still inder 820 :-)
Took it for about 15 laps at PBIR and drove it there and back to Orbit.
It was 95F freakin' hot so I got the engine up to 240F. Mostly short shifted but also a few 7500 - 8000 rpm shifts. Drove about 3 second of my faster times breaking her in, but it was also hot and the front bar was not set to all soft with pretty worn RA1's. Car drove exactly the same as the old one. Like putting on an old glove, if anything the old one seemed to shift a tiny bit lighter.
Tomorrow a full nut and bolt duble check, tie up some loose ends like seat belts warning lights, adjust the front sway bar and raise rear spoiler upand we will be good to go for mancation :-)
Saturday final test day at PBIR and a final nut another bolt check while they do another oil change. Just to satisfy my OCD.
I took some pics before I took her virginity she will never look this innocent again

Look, a doppelganger!! Except this is the virgin sister of the other one... ![evilgrin](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/evilgrin.gif)
Just curious, how are you "raising" that rear wing? I've taken the thing off before and there's no way to alter the angle of attack, short of replacing the uprights altogether....

Reter, return license plate to Trakcar 2.0.
Did you clear bra Trakcar 1.1?
We don't need anti-freeze in Florida. Did you add Distilled water and a bottle of RedLine Water-Wetter? Car will run a lot colder than with the factory slippery anti-freeze. I just bought a mother load of WW to put in the Cayenne, Cayman and Fiat, distilled water in Florida is the way to go.
Coolant Fittings welded?
4.0 RS clutch kit (pp, disc and throw-out bearing)?
Steel center muffler to replace stock Ti muffler?
4.0RS wing end plates?

Trakcar 1.1 is keeping the plate and all is well in my little trakcar bubble.
Full wrap, except engine deck lid/scoops and rear bumper behind the wheels only.
I still have coolant, maybe I should flush it wit WW but I figured my trans cooler valve will let go again and then the dealer puts coolant in again.
Coolant fittings don't let go on fresh .2's.
Still steel, but will change to Orbit muffler, sounds better less drone.
No 4.0 end plates, I just painted red lip, mirrors and end plates silver to match the oem silver wheels the car came with and BBS.

We ever figure out how to raise the wing so we can see out the back? Putting a small bracket between the end and the oem uprights might be easier than fabricating whole new uprights from sratch and making sure it fits to the deck lid holes.
