Have fun with the project. Have you driven it with slicks yet? What is the solution for oil starvation?

Buy a 9A1 engine when this one grenades? j/k, I am actually curious about this. Been thinking about picking up a Cayman but oil starvation issues have me reluctant.

wow, that's it? i guess it's the steel/safety bracing, etc that makes them so heavy. cuz darn if they dont feel much heavier when opening or closing, ya know?

Yoou know he only means the inner stock covering. The door itself prolly pushes 100 lbs complete.

How many racers do you know that miss flags? A lot of people get into racing without having developed the skill to catch a sliding car or track awareness. The best racers I know can place the car where they want on the track subconsciously and do not worry about whether they can keep control. You can develop a lot of skills you use in racing at DEs. Just have to pay attention.

X2, there's a reason most CRs include a pre event DE. DEs give you a chance to find the racing line before the green flag drops! I seen racers that look like they could use a LOT more seat time on tracks before they go racing.

A cheery finish? Is that like smiley faces and puppy dogs? Maybe some rainbows? Yup, that'll go well with your macho race-car-driver image... :p :D
