congrats man...when could I come see it run?

Next week Sunday for TTRc's first event

We dyno tuned today, 165hp at the wheels.
Not to shabby for a internally stock engine.

I also got to "shake down" the suspension set up.
It jumps and land as well as my Subaru STi did on the same stage.

next week should be quite some fun !!!

here's the 411 on the Clio guys and gals.

We are waiting on the dogbone brace bracket for the gearbox.

Without this part running the car would be pointless.

New Aluminum header bottle as well as a new set of PowerFlex bushings are ion the same package.

According to DHL it should be in hand on Monday.

if we don't get the brace it's local fabrication time !!!!

Or if anybody know someone with a Clio 172 who will be willing to loan us this part until we get the replacement.
