Been keeping up with it all offseason, indeed a fantastic lineup, just hoping they get the recent prototype issues resolved soon.

Looking forward to my first visit to Daytona for round 1!  headbang

Yesterday's weather fizzled out a bit by the time it reached here, but it did drop a bunch of rain.

Haven't missed a minute. Yeh, it's gonna take some sort of issue or late race mistake for the 01 to lose this one. Just glad there's still some competition on the lead lap.

I've got a new set of P/S hoses to install, hoping that's where my fluid leak is coming from.

Also may be replacing the water pump. The current one seems to be getting a little noisy, want to find out why on my own terms.

Other than that, just a few odds and ends when I feel like it.

Agree there just wasn't enough P1 competition, still hate to see it go though. 

Will be very interesting to see what they do with the combined DP/P2.

Not surprised with the GT classes.

Already looking forward to the '14 24H. Head Banger

Volunteer Vettes is great to deal with, they were extremely helpful in the early stages of my project.  Most of my brake system came from them, though I did get my O-ring conversion from VBP I believe.

Agree with pretty much all of DB's comments.  Definitely replace the calipers with SS sleeved ones, the originals are very likely corroded beyond rebuildable.

Though I would recommend going the O-ring route.  When I first rebuilt mine, I went with the lip seals.  I would consider mine to be driven regularly (6000+ miles/yr), but I still had one seal fail within a few years.  After that, I converted to O-rings, and no leaks since.

But if you do stick with the lip seals, I would be cautious with the vacuum bleed method.  I have no experience with this myself, but some on CF claim it's possible to suck air past the lip seals and into the caliper, therefore never achieving an air-free system.  Sounds feasible in theory I suppose.

I built my own pressure type bleeding system with a spare master cylinder lid, a couple of air hose fittings, some 1/4" foam seal, and a little silicone to seal up the holes.  It will hold around 12-15 psi without leaking past the seal.  I have to take it off to refill the MC after bleeding each corner, but that's a minor inconvenience considering the frequency of use.  Heck of a lot cheaper than a Motive system.
