    So hard to find the time to give them all attention! Nice car Joe (would it be any other way)!

    I'll ask about the chin spoiler as well? What is the history on it?

    Car has been running hot (upper side of the normal range), even though the ambient temps aren't all that warm. Replaced the WP and thermostat a while back. So I replaced the rad and added new coolant. Seems happier now....

    That is awesome! Keeping your foot off the gas all of that time?

    Yeah, most of the time I shift by 2500 RPM, sometimes sooner. Really helps to keep your foot out of it.

    First pic was while I was driving one day last week. Second pic was in a parking lot - oh so much easier to take the pic when at rest

    Figured it was time to bump up this thread. I deleted all the old PB links from the older posts.

    Over the last week or so I installed a new clutch:




    And cleaned up the trans while it was out (changed the fluid as well):

    I also did some repainting on the gray trim:


    And the rear bumper needed a touch up thanks to my snow blower over the winter:


    Also painted the rear wings while they were off the car:


    And finally - cleaned the paint, buffed a few spots and gave it a fresh coat of wax:




    Ready for another season of driving!

    Enjoy!
