I was kinda thinking the 1300+ degree exhaust temps. would burn it right off. it was only a little overspray anyway.
yea but it is nice to be woking again so I can afford this stuff, and racing is like goddamm heroin to me I will never be able to afford all I want. this damm motor set me back close to 10g's, so so much for A/sedan being a budget class. thats what happens when the rules are so strict, it costs soo much more to cheat.

Congrats on getting the new motor in the car. Any plans on that SN95 chassis sitting in storage?

I wanted to start working on the SN-95 over the winter but the motor set me back a little more that I thought, I also have had such good luck w/ this car I hate to just give up on it. I have a lot of development time on the chassis and suspension also.
