Is it possible to replace that rear valve cover PCV ****** without removing the valve cover?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out right after I went back outside, it just threads in.

Painted all 4 calipers yellow this weekend and also changed out the headlight bulbs to something that's a little brighter. The ones I had in before were the equivalent to a house lamp in terms of brightness.

Looks sweet! What brand rotors are those?

The are new OEM rotors. Funny story, I realized I forgot to order the R1 drilled and slotted rotors when I had everything pulled off. DOH!

A couple more photos after bleeding the brakes and getting the wheels on. Road tested the brakes and they work GREAT!

I also discovered the shop that aligned the wheels after I added the H&R springs didn’t fully tighten all the camber bolts. A bolt from the passenger side was very loose! That could have been real bad!

It’s been a busy week! Got the AEM methanol kit installed, just waiting for the bung to arrive today then off to visit the welder.

I went to the closest to me public scale and weighed the ole girl today. I did have to put some extra gas in the tank. The scale is about 25 miles away and I was 4 gallons till empty. I added 11 gallons which is about 88 lbs or so. I figured my “track weight” is about 4260-4280.

My plan was to remove the front seats and go with an aluminum seat just for the track but with the great news that we’ll be getting some aftermarket GPZ clutches from Raybestos I might just leave it as is?

Well, those friction plates might still be a ways away. The race seat wouldn't be a bad idea still. Hit up @Jordan_R I think he has the plug on some brackets...

I do have a plug. Would have to look up details again but you might not pass tech with just the brackets lol. Need a rear back mount for the aluminum seats which unless you add a bar for you can get denied
