Thanks! Jnaut is going to try and tackle some more weight reduction while he's at it as well... hopefully it is enough to at least 50% offset the weight of the SC kit

Now that I am leaving the NASA points scheme, the world of mods is unlimited to me... going to have to revisit aero options, chassis stiffening, suspension, etc... will be running a 275 Hoosier R6 square setup from here forward

Travis, I thought you had the fix for your tank?
I'm guessing that they did this on purpose, unfortunately... I try not to be cynical, but fuel starvation is yet another way of ensuring these cars don't sustain too much track abuse while under warranty

I filled up the tank after the fuel starvation happened... it was 9 gallons down from full... that's not bad! but the result afterwards was unexpected... I've always been able to restart the car after fuel starvation, but something happened yesterday that I wasn't able to diagnose at the track, and it simply won't re-start... while trying to restart it, there was clearly fuel being delivered because we could smell it coming out of the exhaust, but it wasn't firing

Jnaut's first order of business is to diagnose the current situation... I'm sure he'll report back here once that's done

I broke my sender completely at auto-x today. Threw a code and car reads zero gas with a full tank. Also think I might have an exhaust leak, I have range warning codes for both front O2 sensors.
Chris that sucks! When you say it broke, what happened specifically?

Must be nice to have a warranty! haha
