First drive yesterday! No surprises, it ran great for zero tuning.
Happy with everything except brakes, I think I'm one size too big on the masters. Pedal is super high and firm but takes big effort. I'm going to wait until they're bed in but likely will need to step down. I never did the math on these, just put in a middle of the road size figuring the best math I could do would be based on a ton of assumptions anyway (pad mu, etc).
The trans is so perfect! The rest of the car is surprisingly docile, ride is good like I remember, steering is light and fast, tons of torque, and it's pretty quiet but the trans just screams racecar! After a long time off a bike I rented a motorcycle in Phoenix a week ago and I'm glad I did just before this drive. Something about the sequential trans just keeps you involved as a driver/rider no matter what else is going on and this car is super similar in overall feel to that sport/adventure bike. It's clanky in a good way, I'm glad I put the guibo in the driveshaft and put back in the diff bushings to take the edge off the driveline bumps but I love the sounds.
So, now lots more tuning and an eventual dyno session while I wait for a title. Needed to put safety glass in, was hoping to skate through without it but no dice. It's really the only dumb Michigan law, I can't complain too much. That's ordered and easy to pop on to get through the inspection (and, I mean, certainly for the rest of the life of the car, of course...)
