Hey everyone I need some help. It's painless I promise!

I need to get in touch with the nice folks who purchased the front and rear red TCE/Wilwood kit from me. I didn't get their name written down. Their car (and R56) was with Way for a bit getting some other parts installed there.

This car has the new lower trailing arm on it and we discussed the potential needs for braket or trailing arm mods to fit the radial bracket for the rear Wilwood caliper. Thanks to some good folks here in AZ I have now seen this first hand and understand (I think) exactly what can be done to the brackets to make them better fit this new trailing arm. Without any grinding to the aluminum. I'd like to swap these out with the modified ones here to make life simple for them or whoever does the install.

Beige R56 out of SoCal I believe. Any hielp?

I am saddened for your loss. That PEEP was well-traveled and lived a good life. Please let me know where I can send my expressions of grief and condolences.

well there was no humidity in vegas so it fossilized...but once i got back near the coast with the humidity and a few warm days the sugar coating started to melt and i guess it started to smell like a peep again and the birds got it

and yes let us hold a moment of silence for the peep

AMVIV 5 Track Photos

Here are some photos from the Phil Wicks Driving Academy.

I have shots of almost every car on the track that day. They are available at http://www.chriswoolman.printroom.com/

I had a lot of fun shooting you guys on the track!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Not sure if I will be going to Laguna for the Grand AM race or not. I've got a room reserved, but I may try to save a few bucks and skip it this year. However, I will definitely be there for the Pre-Historics and/or the Historics and will also catch the ALMS finale.
