Hibernation is over...

First HPDE of the year this Saturday at PIR. Forecast is 65 and sunny in Portland. Priceless.

Winter projects are done:

3.62 Diff upgrade, solid diff mounts to go with already solid subframe mounts. Will be keeping any eye on diff to gauge whether a cooler is needed. Unlikely given max 30 mins sessions.
Lost another 110 pounds of lard (the car, not me).
Upgraded, extended and welded the cage- I'm never going to race the car so don't need full on SCCA spec and ingress/egress is important for my knackered body.
Removed all Air Con components.
Aluminum door cards finished in 3M CF vinyl. Saved 38lbs and look good IMHO for a couple of hundred bucks.
Looking forward to another year of cat 'n mouse with these two beasts- and anyone else who wants to play! Cheers.
