Um no. Just got the front alignment done this morning. Haven't been online for a few days anyways. It going to be a few hundred miles before my brakes are ready for any stopping at those fast speeds anyways.
When I got the alignment done the tech came in after and asked if I built the car. Then he shook my hand and said I did a great job and he was glad to see a real car and not a ricer. That was pretty cool. I saw him and another guy checking out the car on the lift and with the hood open.
Test and tune must have been interesting on a cold damp day like today.
 
it was interesting. There was an accident and the car rolled over a few times. I didn't see it happen b/c it was a test and tune car so I was in the lanes waiting to run and I never saw the car after but it was a street car b/c there was glass all over the track that they had to clean up. As far as my day it sucked the car is breaking up at 4,000 RPM's for some reason. Here is a vid.

No I didnt have the issue last year, the fuel filter is 11 months old. Could be a ground but its just so random at times and why would it always cause it to break up at 4,000 rpms?


Your never going to get the miles on the car to break in the new brakes b/c every nice day your going to be on the bike.

That sounds really bad, I hope you find the culprit.
 
I'll go through them all again

the only really good way to check those is with a multimeter checking for resistance while moving the wire around.

Took the stang out today to run some errands. The handling is better with the new setup and the SN95 spindles give me a tighter turning radius. When I turn the wheel all the way I no longer have to worry about the tie rod rubbing the side of the rim. Haven't had the big tires in the back rub yet but I'm sure that could happen with a real good sized bump.
 
Travis what kind of jacket and helmet did you have for your bike and were they comfortable. I'm shopping around right now. I have been using the helmet I bought for the stang and a old heavy leather jacket that I used to use for riding.
