10:00pm....What a cool experience. Watching the car back out of that semi was unparalleled (except for my wedding day of course). SPF #623 is mine...unbelievable, the car is BAD...ASS.

Another Jersey snake. I'm down in the Bridgewater Area. If you ever need a co-pilot, drop me a line. Enjoy the ride!

I brought this southern belle up from Texas. As soon as I get a few digi pics I'll post them.

The clutch seems very stiff. Is this normal? It has a very short travel and I have to put a good amount of pressure on it to hit the floor. Any thoughts?

Dane:

Congratulations, nothing like THAT feeling.

If the clutch is hydraulic reduce the size of the master cylinder. It will reduce the pedal pressure and increase the necessary travel.
Burn some gas!

Enjoy

Rick

Now you have to do some "test" driving and find bugs and other things besides the clutch that may need correction. You will now spend the next few years making adjustment and corrections. It is a toy that need tender loving care. So go have fun. The only way to "test" it is to drive it. YOu have an excuse to drive it as much as you want. You just have to go and test drive it. Have fun.

BlueRooster-
Congrats. Hurry up and post some pics. Maybe sometime this summer we can catch up. I'm over in Springfield and expect to be road worthy by the end of June.

Congrats again.

Mike
