Replaced my stripped headlight gear with a brass one yesterday. Ended up being a lot more frustrating than it should have been. Had buttoned everything up and the light just wasn't moving at all, and it wouldn't even let me manually raise it. Took a break after messing with it for about an hour and my dad goes out there and figures it out in a few minutes lol. I had the nuts and bolts switched around the so the control arm for the light wasnt able to move. Got it fixed now though.

Few goodies on the way as well!

First time at the track today! Was really close to 12s, but super consistent at 13.0x.

Car had about 3/4th of a tank and it was around 83 at the track.

Excited to get the stall on and head back!

You should have came!

I'm content with it for the most part, especially for my first time. Wish I could have at least dipped into the 12s though. Thinking of putting my LCA brackets on and heading back to see if I can get my 60ft down and break 12s.

Busy weekend! Had my car tinted on Thursday (35%). Then on Sunday we installed the stall, cooler, new rear main seal and cover gasket (no more oil leaks!), and installed a SacCity oil barbell while I was in there. Install was 100% a pain in the ***, but I'm glad we had access to a lift or we wouldnt have been able to do it.

It's been really misty and rainy here so I haven't quite got a chance to get it on it, but it's pretty strange driving it. Not in a bad way, but just because it's not how I'm used to the car behaving.
