Uh Oh. Mark, if you're expecting your SPF to show up PERFECT, you should prepare yourself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing SPF, I'd buy another one tomorrow.
But these are RACE CARS. If you think you'll be able to get it, put gas and
oil in it and drive it all weekend and not have a spot of something on the floor of the garage, dude,
odds are it's just not going to happen. Within 100 miles of a weekend working on it, something else is squeaking, dripping or loose. It's just the nature of the beast. And I love that.
As soon as my rear end stopped clunking, my steerig wheel was shaking, then dead cell in battery, then fuel pump clacking, then alternator - bro, it's little things, but (odds are) they do not stop. It's part of the deal and part of the love.
It's why they call it a
hobby and not just a purchase. Otherwise, we'd just be talking about nothing but which options we purchased.
