The Road Warrior Lives!

Post by v6spider »

Took the beast for a spin.. Still some refining to do.. But on the whole the engine runs great! Squirrelly as hell but that is part of the fun.

In Washington State... never heard of such a thing. Looks like a Wisconsin thing? Is that a requirement in your state or is it optional? :)

Thanks!

Wow. I feel very lucky that Washington has no law for that in place. How much more are the hobbyist plates then the standard ones? I tell you that just marks every hotrod for the police easy to spot.

Long time coming, Rob - and a hell of a lot of of work. It must have felt great to get behind the wheel! Congratulations.

What? :shock: How extreme are they about it? Wider tires = hobbiest plate? Aftermarket air filter?

Yes it was awesome! The car handles pretty good already. When I get done fine tuning the steering and suspension it will be even better. I'm really enjoying the 3-link suspension too..

Cheers!
