She ran great for a short period of time where we took her to the ocala car meets, did an autocross event, and did some drifting on the back roads of Marion Oaks.

As far as the last post is concerned i'll address the points that I intended to tackle once returning from the trip to the keys.
- The Fuel tank.... still leaks. Still want a fuel cell.
- I replaced the shifter boot seal thingy. No more gear oil smell or loss of tranny fluid.
- No more screwdriver needed to start the car. There are switches for power on, fans, and a button for the starter.
- The power steering still slightly leaks...
- The slight pull to the right in the steering was remedied with new tires. It still needs a front end alignment though.
- Not sure where the oil leak was but it is fixed now because we got rod knock drifting in Marion Oaks and had to pull the bottom end apart to change the bearings. That was a huge ordeal but now there is no oil leak, new rod bearings, the engine bay was painted and the wiring harness was tucked while the motor was out. Cool stuff!
- The differential was just welded last week and the one test drive so far was awesome! It feels like a real drift car now.
- The hydraulic e-brake is hooked up and mounted but the rod that connects the master cylinder to the handle is not strong enough to handle the force of being snatched on. I have to build a much stronger one.
- Rear camber arms and toe arms are going to be coming soon. Along with bolt on wheel spacer to get the offset for the new Rota wheels I picked up perfect.
- Still need injectors.
- Paint. Yeah it's painted. Rustoleum gloss white. Rattle can baby! I am really happy with it though.
- No body kit yet. I got a front lip for the bumper so i'm thinking of getting some side skirts and calling it a day... for now.
She's becoming really legit really quick. Several drift events are on the calendar this year and with Austin learning how to drift we can't wait to crush the crete!
