Today I gave the car its first piggy back ride since 2010.

And I went for a test drive, couldn't get the grin off my face looking at this view.

Drove the car for 15 miles afterwards and no rear gear whine or new noises without axle mounted dumb bells. The season is here, next Saturday Lime Rock Park with 65 Porsches and Pete 8)

Looks awesome. Very sharp and hope you have a great season.

Looks good Eric. When is their maiden track voyage scheduled? A buddy of mine just installed coilovers and we're going out to test and tune in a couple weeks. I anticipate I'll get a good spanking.

Installed the Kenny Brown Eibach Coilovers

Looks great, Eric! It appears that you are using other Kenny Brown products. As it happens, I have been in heavy research mode and as of today, I began the slippery suspension slope - I ordered new springs and shocks (FRPP). But of course, a lowered car means an adjustable panhard and LCA relocation brackets. Heck, might as well do the LCAs! You know the drill. Anyway, for various reasons, I have been leaning towards the Kenny Brown stuff (mainly the LCAs, brackets, and roll center relocation kit). Can you give me your thoughts on the quality of the KB products you have? I have looked here and on other forums, but I can't seem to find very many people using or reviewing his stuff. Any comments you have would be helpful. Thanks!

And to pay you in kind for your future reviews, I will point-out that your LCAs might be on backwards. I think the heim joint goes to suspension and the poly end goes to the body to reduce noise. Here is a photo from the KB site.

Of course, check with KB. ;)

Installed new RTR Axle-back Exhaust system by Magnaflow. Looks and Sounds awesome. Installation was pretty simple.
In addition I have the modified 5/8" exhaust baffles.

Really nice. I like the blacked-out exhaust look, I think. Did you happen to put these on a scale?

Applied an underhood decal that I got from Roush/Yates when we were in Charlotte.

Continued my NASCAR fantasy/insanity by preparing these new lug nuts for next week. I almost want to glue them on the wheels and change them in the paddock, fast!

Oh and I painted the ring around the diff temp gauge so I can tell status at a glance.
