build diary

March 8, 2005: It was kind of cruel to mention that the car has gained weight and not actually mention how much.
It's at about 1310 lbs right now with a very full tank of gas. I had it up in the air today to do a "nut and bolt" check before the track day. I had been hearing a slight noise from the rear end on an abrubt application of power and I suspected the rear end was starting to come free. Sure enough, the bolt holding the nose of the diff had loosened off about 1-2mm. It's tight now. A few other bits and pieces were checked while the car was aloft.

Since the change back to the stock intake manifold, the car has been very well behaved. Well, once I fixed that one bad connection in an injector wire. It feels quite healthy and the weather right now is perfect for tearing around. It's going to be a lot of fun at the track this weekend.
