Sounds like unless you are seriously skilled it pays NOT to have a license.

This is actually true. They recommend you for a license, however you can decline. If you are visiting a lot of new tracks then that is the smart thing to do as you will learn the track a lot faster with an instructor in the passenger seat. As a licensed driver if you are friendly with the instructors then you might be able to convince one to go out with you for half a session if they aren't over worked, but if they already have a couple of students then they may not have a lot of spare time.

I couldn't take looking at the parts on my couch so last night was a warm night (33*) so I started on some things.



Mainly got everything apart and ready to put the new back in. Got the water pump in and tonight I'll pull off the power steering line so I can swap that.

Some half *** pictures (when I'm working I don't think of taking pictures haha)

Stuff out. (ignore the crap welding)


Power steering leak


My dad making me stuff all my parts into a 5'x5' square


The new stuffs




Had a second idea for the wrap bc it's been so cold I could work on the car. More of a fancy one.
