    After 6 months, the frame is straight, and the engine is back in the car.

    We are getting ready to FINISH putting the car back together tonight :026: :026: :026:

    I had been running antifreeze, but I'm curious, anybody out there happily running their dub on just distilled water?

    Opinions?


    Thanks

    Distilled water with Redline Water Wetter. Don't forget to change it out for the winter.

    NASA prohibits use of antifreeze (makes a mess on the track if spilled.)

    Not sure I'd remember..............

    NASA requires no antifreeze? A good idea (it's messy in a wreck and there's not much road racing done below freezing anyway), but why doesn't SCCA? Actually, I would think this would be something the track would dictate more than the sanctioning body..........

    Trust me, after forgetting once, you'll never do it again. Ask me how I know...on second thought, don't ask me how I know...
