This past weekend I had my SRF out for the first time after conversion. During conversion I took the car completely down to frame removing every bolt, rivet, wire, etc. So first big test was to run five laps and see if anything came loose. Nothing did :D . Then next was to run some laps at 95% with old goodyears to make sure no temperature problems, leaks etc. Still no problems :D Then I got to start having real fun. The new engine is amazing. The new tires feel really good. I also had a very worn transmission rebuilt and shifting is so much better. I am so excited. I can not wait until the next race.

I did have one small problem. The bolts inside the muffler came loose and a weld broke inside the muffler. I will weld that this weekend and add some loctite to the bolt

Even if you fix your own muffler, let Enterprises know what happened. There has been a rash of small issues with the muffler and I'm sure Enterprises would want to know the magnitude of the problem.
