I bet he does very soon. He was eyeballing the black 996 too much at the last NASA ECR race. I showed him everything he asked to see and he sure was drooling a lot. I don't think the SPBox makes you drool, just giggle a little.
Of course he knew it wasn't a Spec 996 but he has been in a few Spec 996's so he know how much more fun they are,(read;faster they are).

Yea, that was me Sunday. I had just finished putting a new radiator in it and was trying to burp the air out of the system. Sorry if I was in the way. Normally I am moving a little faster.

FYI - It's hard to burp them completely by driving, and usually takes a few trips. Better to use the correct vacuum tool or to jack the rear of the car up about two feet,leave the front tires on the ground, then the radiator cap will be the high point in the system and running until warm will burp it out in a more controlled manner.

Thanks Viking. I used my lift to get the rear up as much as I could and ran it until it got warm. I hate trying to get all the air out of that system. I may get Todd to the vacuum on it tomorrow.

That was you in the black BMW? I thought it was moving a bit quicker than the other traffic.

Cool ! Another GTS4 car ! Jay will be in GTS4 although he is still low on hp for where he could be, or I guess heavy on weight, but I can't get much more weight out of it easily. I know where some more power is but I don't think it's going to make it in the car for MSRC. Oh well, we will see how he does anyway.
