    5/12/11: Short block being assembled. Piston to Valve clearence checks out and replacing the .065 Cometic gasket with a .085 gasket to keep the compression ratio just below 9:1. That should be in the safe zone since I'm not running a stand alone mgmt system just yet.

    5/13/11: Custom stainless steel downpipe being made and ordered a 3" stainless steel mandrel bent cat back exhaust from FWDP. These are not listed on her website and she has a couple left if anyone is interested.

    Re: Race GLHS

    Shifter is in. Will be either painted black or covered but the 3" rise should bring the shifter up to a comfortable level.

    Intercooler is mocked up. I/C piping and cold air intake pipes ordered.

    Headlight will be removed and cold air intake setup will be installed.

    I was actually born with arms 6" shorter than normal so thanks for making fun of me....gotcha. The higher the better for road racing, its a shorter reach from the steering wheel. I'm gonna leave the shifter assembly exposed and cover the riser.

    Re: Race GLHS

    Nice dash; yeah, they tell me I'm supposed to pull the seat up so my chest is close to the wheel; can't get used to it.
    John Laing

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
    --Ayn Rand

    "To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
    -- Justice Antonin Scalia

    I hear you, it's ackward. My local track has so many turns, by the 4th or 5th lap, my arms are worn out...then I pull my seat up for more leverage.
