Car is good again...

The car was taken to our ECU vendor today, and he made it well. Not sure what the problem was, but whatever it was, it is good now.

We will be trying something new now. We are taking the car to a "local" track Wednesday and make some test runs. Then if all goes well we will actually go to a National race with a tested good car.

We know there are a couple of things we still want to do to car, including putting our new fuel rails on the car. We had been using a very used pair sent by the rails vendor last year, and now nearly a year later, we got the rails we had ordered and paid for back then. As fuel rails go, they are no more functional that the used rails, so it really was only a matter of being persistent and getting what we had paid for. But now the new rails look like they have a couple of fitting locations that my make our plan to relocate our fuel access line to further in front and make it so that you can do fuel checks without removing the hood. We also have decided to move the fuel pressure gauge to between both fuel rails rather than behind the driver side rail, at the beginning of the fuel return line. Not a really big deal, just something that can't hurt and may make our fuel pressure reading more accurate.

So, we are really excited about actually making some runs cheap, and making sure we know what our car can do.

One other secret squirrel change, and we should be finally ready to make some noise, in a good way with the Mega maniac when we get to the next race.
