    Arrived at the end of this thread feeling somewhat less excited. Chill, people!
    Chill people?!? This is the kinda kick in the pizole this thread needs my friend! You want more posts, threads, foot traffic? You need controversy bro. Im calling flotownj and deezspace out. Only way to settle this is Mirage off. One race, one track, children in the back seats of both cars, Tokyo Drift style. I can just see it now.....The Canadian Gender Studies professor vs The darn tootin' Appalachian road warror. Fummins and myself in the broadcast booth. Shhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit, thats some good watching right there baby.

    Yeah I got fluid and filters in the mail yesterday so you know what I will be doing this weekend!

    It would have been nice to have an OBD reader to see how hot the trans and engine temp was on the track. That's something I may take with me if I take this thing on a track again.

    I think a pair of truck nutz on the back end would do nicely IMO. I put a Japanese war flag on mine for laughs.Name:  20190426_101920.jpg

    I run a higher psi on track days. For the whole (I want my tire to stay on my rim) reason.

    Right on though. Good lines, clean run. Keep it up.

    Ya'll wanna ***** and whine about kids, you should head to a Jeep Club event one day.

    A roll over doing 90mph on a track is WAY WAY WAY less dangerous than getting tboned in an intersection doing 20mph.

    Learn some physics before you moan about child welfare.
