Freaking Awesome!

Our car is on the cover of the April issue of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine!

Jimmy had been trying to convince me to do the Warsteiner theme for over a year before the 2010 event! I finally agreed, and I'm glad we did it! This project has been a blast, 4 years in the making, with the final goal of not only being in the magazine being on the COVER!!! Thanks to all the guys at GRM! It has been great working with my Jimmy, we have met so many cool people in the process. Thanks to all the locals who come out and help! Jay, Bartley, John, Jason, Ben, Brian! You guys have all been a part of this project in your own way! Thank you, most importantly to my beautiful wife Christina, who has always supported me in everything I do. I love you baby.

Jason and I were back at the shop this last Wednesday finishing up the rear brake caliper rebuild.

Just like the fronts, he pulled the rubber boots off, slid the pistons out, soaked and cleaned everything, then put it all back together again. It went by quickly and without any major issues.

In the mean time I took the intake manifold off the head

... and grabbed the oilpan from the parts block. The other pan was somehow cracked on the bottom. :0 THe new pan needed an oil return for the Holset hx35 to drain into.
I soaked the pan in some degreaser at John's shop.

I then pulled all the Home Depot fittings from the old pan, cleaned them and re installed them on the new pan.

After a while we needed something else to keep us busy, so we grabbed some spray cans and and John donated his shirt.... super-m20-man was born! You can have your own super-m20-man, all you need are some old hi-temp spray cans and a blown headgasket.
