Finished installing the rear quarter window seals (what a bear!) and the rear windshield lockstrip. Both are two man jobs.

Also test fitted my 'new' seats.?

Dyno tuning at Jesse Prather Motorsports in Topeka, Kansas.

Jesse is a respected engine and racecar builder for roadracers and autocrossers. He's the regional dealer for Electromotive brand equipment, and since my car uses Electromotive TECs ecu, it made sense. The engine is a "built" M10, pianotop pistons, E12 head, IE 292 cam, electronic fuel injection.

It was a fascinating process to watch. It took him roughly two hours from setup to final dyno pulls, with tuning tweaks between each pull.

Just a short rip around a mile square around the dyno shop, but damn it was fine, and the car pulled hard. She felt quick.

Seam welded the control arms. Ground the turn signal detent flat so my right turn signal will stay on all by itself, that was more satisfying than I expected.
