Default Eye Bolts done

Thanks to Mark and my lift I was able to install the Eye bolts in the Tunnel of the car yesterday.

Almost ready for VRI, Glens, SP and Mid ohio my goal is to do at least 20 to 25 track days if the car does not let me down and be able to be a blue drover

I still have to make sure the shoulder belts are correct

Links are done by me
rotors are done by me
Eye bolts are done due to mark and he also turn the RPM thing

Once again thanks Mark

for heavy track use you need to ditch all the alloy lug nuts. buy some steel ones like this:

looks good!!! Wheel lock works as well as regular lug net. But if you have to replace it I have one you can have. X2 on steel being the way to go.

Very nice, Antonio. x3 on switching to steel lugs. I know it's a matter of preference, but I turned my tach so that redline was dead set at 12 o'clock. Since I switched to a smaller steering wheel, 12 o'clock was the ideal place, since my hands aren't in the way. YMMV.

I could only be so lucky to get 25 days in this season.

same with oil presure and temp. Turn oile presure to see low reading, temp to see high. Depends on steering wheel but need to "sweep gages" in straights and this makes it easier.
