The Laser Lives!

[Dallas J]

I got the laser running yesterday after about a month of it being down. I had a machine shop remove the vavles cause i couldnt get any tool in there to get them out. They said that 5 of the 8 intake were slightly bent, but the guides were still good. I had all 8 valves to replace them so they are all new.

The first time i tried to start it the engine just cranked smoothly....NOT a good thing. It spun with absolutely no compression. I instantly knew that i forgot to make sure both the dowel pins were up, and i just lined up 2 marks. The cams were 180 degrees off. I pulled it apart again and fixed it.
Started up like a champ. :D

I brought it home and the first thing i did was put on my Oz F1s that i got for $300 with tires. It totally changed the look of my car for the better. Ill post some before and after pics in a bit.

There is no doubt that you will smoke me in an Autocross match...My struts leak. If you watch me race then youll see how much my front end drops between shifts.

Im gonna take my car to the 2nd worst track that i know of(PMI) cause i cant make it to bandi on wednesday just so i can get a general time for it, mostly trap speeds though. Im hoping to get a 14 out of it, and i think if i can launch it then it will be achievable.

BTW the worst track i know of is in South Carolina. Some times they run just the 1/8th and other times they open it up for the 1/4. Right after the 1/8th there is a rail road track. No B.S.
