Drove home without an issue-kind of....

 

The car ran flawlessly. The more I am in it, the more I see the additions to make it a great road course car. You can thumb select to monitor individual tire pressure, Oil temp, oil pressure level, Coolant, Trans Temp, even a G meter with memory! I was having fun watching how Temp affected tire and oil pressure-gay I know.

 

Also, I officially love torque. There, I said it! I may have to build an LS something sooner than expected. I was offered a race in NC by a 98-99 Civic Si-exhaust and intake (from what I could hear) from 70, I left it in 5th and beat him USING CRUSE CONTROL. I cant even make this up!

 

The issue-well one-we left in a tropical storm. Since we were on the island-I was forced to go though repeated Sandblasting from Sand coming off the dunes. One way on, one way off. I cant even describe it-50+mph sustained winds-add Sand-yup-right to the face. Driving into it, repeatedly, knowing there was nothing I could do about it. There was even sand IN my hood, yes, sounds like a sand toy when I open it-and everywhere in the engine bay when I got home! It sucks and there are a lot in new chips from it.

 

 

The Bad-Got caught just behind a truck that had a tire explosion-in a construction zone. I was against the concrete barrier, with a another truck next to me, and a car behind me. I was fucked. I was hit directly with huge tire shrapnel. I pulled over to check for fluid leaks, I was sure something was ripped off the car with the sound of the impact.

 

Large scrape now in lower front bumper, the lower side ground effects, and it ripped off the lower front under tray (which on the V has a front spoiler that is not gone.) I am not happy, but it could have been much and is hard to see unless your looking for it-but since I have hard the car a week, its all I am looking at at the moment!

 

Pics to come. Overall, still very content even with the mishap.
