New license plate frame.

Send me some and I'll stick one on pending yank's approval.

I honestly want to move to Portland just to **** around with y'all northwesterners' cars.

Although Concealer404 is going to keep me busy for the foreseeable future.

2 gallon ARE.

The rest of the system is ARE as well besides the pan and crank pulley to mount the drive mandrel. Those were DIY.

ARE Products

I'd take stickers over a license plate frame.

I need to get rid of the CR.net ones. I've graduated a long time ago.

Started reading this the other day when you sent me the link. Finally got through it. Real impressive build man, had to chuckle at the part when you were saying you were really hoping you could get a job at PREracing.

My first track day! It was awesome to see this project car finally being used as it was intended for. The car was absolutely phenomenal and definitely needs a better driver behind the wheel. I learned so much. Such a great experience!
I was able to pick up the pace toward the end of the video.
Special thanks to Zack Morgan at PREracing for all the advice on setup. He's had some serious influence on the way this car has turned out. Engine internals, dry sump, suspension, tires etc..
