Lol I thought the flames were hideous too, but it was red, ebony, m6 and really low miles (60k). I offered him $13k and he accepted. $200 in paint made it red again.

I took it to the track on Friday and couldn't hook for ****, my second pass and I learned the embarrassing way I need to check all the fluids before racing, my clutch reservoir was bone dry..ooops

How did it run at the plex? (Assuming you're still in EP) I think I remember seeing your old car in southwestdrags! New car looks real clean!

Thanks! I barely managed to get a 14.2 that night, I was only able to run once, I fell asleep at the light, it spun all the way through third and was all over the track. lucky me I decided to go the day before a "no prep" shoot out so the track wasn't prepped at all.

I got my hands on some ET Streets, now I'm just waiting for payday to find some cheap wheels to put them on and go back.

Few small updates, found out why my clutch started to give me headaches, particularly at the track




"While I'm there"




And did the CETA mod



Also, the first owner of the car started emailing me a few months ago, he sent me pictures of a small spread of a local magazine it was featured in. Thought that was pretty cool



Let's see how it does once the clutch breaks in

Looks a lot better without the flames. EPM is a tough track, altough a lot better now then it was 4-5 years ago.

Enjoy it! I drive it 70+ miles a day to work and I love having it as a daily. I have another project that's keeping me busy
