Had a few odds and ends to take care of before the year was over. Replaced the muffler bearings with the new Dynomax racing bearings and switched my blinker fluid to synthetic. Should be worth a few ponies,seeing as how there's less photonic resistance now. I think I'll wait till next week to replace the byokneuton regulator,I didn't think they'd be so exspensive. Did I miss anything?

It's a good idea to put synthetic fluid in the headlights too, or better yet take the headlights out entirely. When the lights are on, the force of the light beams pushing out ahead of the car at a zillion mph has an equal and opposite reaction pushing back on the car, thus slowing you down. I've got 4 big spotlights mounted on the rear bumper that I turn on when I go to the track just for that extra push.

How are your carburetor belts holding up? Remember, when in doubt, change them!

Also be sure to put winter air in the tires before it gets too cold.

WINTER AIR! I totally forgot I need to get some winter air! Since the car's not carburated I don't have to worry about that,but it does remind me to check the tension on the fuel pump belt.

Before heading out on long trips or going racing, always check the Engine Rotater Splint
