Well, the track day at Shenandoah was cancelled, of course. But I have made progress on the car.
I got the manifold back from Detective Coating and it looks great! Everything went back on the car without too much fuss and it passed the boost leak test. I also got the sway bar bushings changed out, but most of my to-do list is on hold until I'm ready to prep for a track day.
I got a new GoPro mount that should give a nicer view. I also wired in an external microphone near the firewall so the sound is way better. I used a battery eliminator so it gets power when the key is on and I won't have to change batteries anymore. And finally, I used one of the RPi's to turn the GoPro on when it does, so I won't have to even turn it on manually. The RaceCapture takes care of the wifi signal to start/stop recording, so I literally won't have to touch the GoPro at all except when I remove the SD card to snag the videos from it. This will help reduce some effort and stress during track days for sure! HUGE thanks to John (@TSiAWD666) for walking me through this since he went through the same process.
Still chugging away at little projects, but nothing critical. Mainly just waiting for the tracks to open so I can figure out which events I can get to this season!
