I also managed to semi track down a elusive water leak last weekend. I'd never been able to see a puddle but managed to actually see it coming down the bell housing when After I was running the car on stands after the oil change. Guessing it's coming from the reroute spacer / hose connections.

As was the mca reds. Car felt much more stable and controllable when past the limit. Managed to drop another 4 seconds of my PB down to a 1:44.2.

Some of that will have been driver, some to it was a fast track that day but I'd give the suspension the lions share of the credit.

Poor morning lighting sorry. I'll see if I have a better one somewhere.

That's as it sits now with me looking at putting the air box back. You can see the obvious issue of the water cross over.
