  Thanks to my buddy Kevin Abel for the photos. Car runs pretty well, not sure if the white smoke I have is from a valve, a ring, or just oil residue...time will tell. If it's ring or valve, engine build time.

  And a short vid from me..myself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dirtybird222/4697326308/

  I'm not much of a fan of trans-marobirds in general, but your car turned out awesome!

  Hero HD or the normal? I have the HD Wide Angle and have yet to get a suction cup mount for mine but I want to... it worked great for skiing.

  Either way, vid came out nice.

  Nice job on the autox run. Missed the apex on a left hander about a minute into the video and early apexed the right entering the finish straight, but overall very well controlled and with good lines. The entance to the last straight probably cost you the most time, as you were struggling to straighten it out at the exit.

  Never stop instructing, don't I?

  it's already been a internet hot rod of the month, just in a different getty-up. And we ended up going with Audi Nimbus grey because it was a garage job...and long story short we got paint for cheap, the supplier only makes grigio telesto in a form that has to be forced dried (which we don't have tools for). Nimbus gray came out amazing though and thank you guys again.

  I know i was struggling to get used to the car again lol, but after watching the video again I see what you were saying and see where i made my mistakes.

  It's a gopro HD, theres a little link to watch the HD version on flickr somewhere.
