It has 4 heat cycles on the motor/cooling system and about 15 miles on the car which was one trip to the alignment center to try and get a baseline setting for the suspension. 3 hours on the lift and we made progress but I had to remove and modify the control arm several more times this week to hopefully get close to track settings (using my home gauges to monitor progress). Back to the alignment shop next week to see if I'm in the ballpark.
On the test ride I was data logging and reviewed the results after getting home. Temperature and oil pressure was in range, transmission was a little tight (new rebuild) and I will bleed the clutch again and the brakes are awesome. I was riding in an absolute downpour and between lights, wipers, cooling fan and electric water pump I saw from the data that the alternator was struggling so I'm changing it out for a higher capacity model.
I had a minor leak on one of my cooling tube couplings and a couple drips of transmission oil around one of the axle shafts. the seals are new so I'm just going to monitor that before acting on it.
Hoping to put 3-500 miles on the car in the next few weeks to break it in a little bit before Road Atlanta and fingers crossed, nothing major will pop up.
If someone can tell me how to link pictures from my google account to my posts I'll post up some progress pictures just don't pick on my driveway paint job.
How is progress?
