I haven’t added to this notebook in a while, however, there has been quite a large amount of work done this year. Most recently, I went with Tim to the Grassroots Motorsports $2011 Challenge and, despite the poor performance of the Firebird we took down, got very inspired to bring back the Turdbo Neon for $2012. And, for bonus points, I’m seriously considering driving it down, instead of towing it.
I’ve pulled as many of the receipts as I can find for the work that I’ve done on it in the last 5 years, and I”ll have to FMV the rest. As far as updates are concerned, I’m going to parcel those out, instead of trying to put all of them under a single header. Those updates should be below this one, just to keep things straight.
There is a Rallycross event on this coming Saturday, and it appears that the car is basically good to go for that. I know that the tune is still somewhat flat, but it seems to be running better right now, and should be “good enough”. I’ve taken all the baffles and the endplate off the Supertrapp muffler, so it’s louder and hopefully going to run better. The window nets are still broken, but that can wait. I’m praying for rain, but I don’t think any is in the forecast…
