Thanks for the congrats guys!!
The car is quit nimble, loves to be in the wheel house of the cam around 3000rpm. Pulls strong, idles around 1200rpm but while holding a steady speed I notice the tach osculates a little and you feel it wanting to buck a little. I plan to richen the main jets up a little to take care of that. Full throttle really has a great throaty sound, as well a great exhaust tone!!
The car is quit zippy with the 5 speed running a 4:55 gear. I have about 50 miles on it, appears to be a smooth brake in with the 1380 engine. The 5 link and coil-overs are all business with no slack or free motion. Spring rate at 165lbs appears to be a very good start.
Plan to finish setting up a little more negative camber on front before pushing the suspension harder to see how all is performing.
The brakes are firm with moderate pedal pressure having bias set at 70% to the four piston caliper front.
Have a little annoying rattle coming from somewhere inside the RH rear, I would like to find that?
That’s it so far!!

Love those seats. Bet it's quick off the line with a 1380 and 4.55. Should be a great autox car.
