Update on the B5!

So I went to revelation tonight! And Ron you lied. I didn't see kortz or bradley! lmao. It was all good. I had some issues getting the tune right. turned out to be a junk plug. Over all it has some good power. I think I may try 1.1 spings on my clutch. I like more a punch.

OH I had a motor mount come loose. the engine hit the chassis so hard that it put a dent in it! Ask Alan he saw it! I'm going to tear down the engine and take a really close look at it. I'm worried about the crank. But I must say.... I could have bolted it back up and ran. I didn't really break anything. Alan it turns out that the spur gear was just fine.

I'm going to make it out to the track as much as possible. EVERYONE is so nice there. I got a couple of compliments on my paint job... (idk why i think it looks pretty bad.. maybe it looks really good far away!)

Anyways. B5 did not disappoint! I didn't time any runs but it was noticeable on how much fuel wasn't used.

Anyways I'm getting pretty stoked! The more and more I go out the more improvement i see. So I can't wait to get somewhat decent at tuning so This thing can run at it's full potential! Hope I see you guys out there more often!
Thanks for everyone that helped me tonight! if they happen to see this =P
