BDRCobra,

Congratulations on buying a Backdraft. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. I think all your questions were answered, so I have one for you.

Without telling us exactly how much (unless you want to), what did you have to pay for your car? Just curious!

Just a hint. I don't know how many miles are on the car, but if it is pretty new, you might want to put a couple of hundred miles on it, then take it to a Backdraft dealer (if available within a reasonable difference) and have it checked out for loose nuts, bolts, connections, etc. If a dealer is not available, then take it to a garage where it can be put on a lift and check the whole undercarriage yourself. You may find as I did that some of the factory fasteners had loosened up with driving. so tighten away. Remember, this is not a high production car, is made by hand half a world away, and may need a little attention from time to time.

Keep it tight and you will love it. Also, check your header bolts as they have a tendency to come loose too until they seat themselves. Do this when the car is cold.

Have fun.
