Minor Makeover

[FOG]

Ken I think you guys need to go fill the fuel tank and you and brad go do a Test day at mama G b4 Vets weekend and if all good just put her inside the trailer.

Great idea. If Mother Nature would cooperate it might be a possibility.

That way if you take the Buggy out early and put it in the trailer you can bring your Jeep out too

Body panels are back on.

curious to hear on how the seats are holding up with the product you used. Thinking of doing the same to some old beard seats I have.

Come on @FOG let’s hear your impressions on the new car.

 

[FOG]

First impression overall is, I think she’s a keeper but,
Being a mid engine car She slides a little bit too much for my liking. I’m pretty sure it’s due to the Dune Sport paddle being as flat as it is. Currently at 10 psi, Might take a couple of pounds out next trip to see if it changes much.
After driving the Talon SXS for 3 seasons, I do miss having doors.
I took it easy because of the Mega Sand transaxle and me still getting used to the car. I think it handles very similar to my previous SU Sand Pro 2 mid engine “Old Yeller “. However, I need to get a bit more aggressive to find out what it can handle and that’s a “Catch 22” scenario now because of the transaxle. The suspension feels good but I’ll probably do some tinkering as the season goes on. The motor seems healthy as she scoots pretty good up Olds and China Wall. No issues with the first trip is a big plus.
I like the look without the flames and I’m happy that it fits in the enclosed without removing the paddles.

So far so good but I haven’t had much seat time yet. Next trip is Thanksgiving week so I’ll keep you updated.
