The reinforcement has the hold down bolt holes slightley damaged, you would have to use some fender washers to re use it.
just let me know when you need the welder, my dad has it right now but he is close by sonit will not be a big deal to get it.
I'm back! Took a little (lot) longer than expected. Motivation dropped off and other projects took priority. Everything bolted back together pretty well and the color match seems spot on. Replaced the passenger fender as well since it had the large sideskirt hole in it and I was able to pick up a decent one from the JY. Still need to put fender liners in, make a new undertray, and put on the front lip and small side skirts I bought. Felt really good to be back rowing through the gears though.
Great to hear back from you, always think think about stoping by but never do for one reason or another, the car is looking so good, is it going to see track time after all this work? I hope so your car is a beast!
There's a few extra things I want to do to it before another track day, mainly wheel bearings but yeah. I haven't checked the schedule much lately, not sure I'll still be able to make it to one this year.
Definitely stop by some time. I need to check out that new NC.
Threw on a bunch of parts in the past couple of weeks and finally made it back to a track day yesterday. Shortened the throttle body cable since the run is now only about 18" or so instead of across the engine bay. Rerouted my catch can to be VTA instead of going back into the intake manifold. Need to make one that ties in the valve cover port as well instead of just a filter stuck on it.
Added Longacre oil temperature and pressure gauges and found out that an oil cooler should be next on the list. Peaked at about 265 when pushing it hard.
Found a cheap COT wing off of ebay and got the FM mounts from Concealer. Made up a birch splitter for the front to balance it out. Since the oil pan sits so low I routered the back half of the splitter down to half thickness to get angle I wanted. Currently mounted with u bolts across the cross bar in the back but I don't really like how hard it is to put on like that so it might get changed.
Great to see you at the track again after almost a year!!! I wanted to be there but had already made vacation plans.
We will have to go to mid ohio next year!
Yeah, it was a good day. Was a little cautious to start out but was pushing it pretty decent by the end. Didn't take video or times, just enjoyed being back. I keep meaning to shoot you a text and swing by sometime.

Damn you. I was going to snag that wing then it was gone.

Gotta be quicker! I've been casually scoping ebay and craigslist for a while. That other one on ebay has been on there for months now. He's a little optimistic.
