IRS feels great, the brakes work but need to change the master cylinder size from 13\/16 to 7\/8 due to brake pedal has too much throw. The ABS system even works even though I was skeptical if the 2015 rear ABS sensors would be compatible with the older system. Saturday 3\/12\/16 finished up the car (after going with Gary Cheney to pick up his 818R,) checked all fluids, greased all suspension points, did a final inspection before trying car around the neighborhood. Sunday it was time to put some miles on the car, so I visited Pat McMahon to see his FFR#11 progress after his winter upgrades, then stopped by Gary Cheney&#8217;s house, went to dinner with Gary and his wife, and on the way home stopped by my sisters house. 80 miles, and about 3 hours drive with no issues! Car is a blast, you can really feel rear suspension work sucking up the bumps with ease especially the frost heaves that are prevalent in New England.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/index.php?\/category\/189\">More pics from trip:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4662.JPG?m=1457960640\" alt=\"IMG_4662.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gary&#8217;s 818R ready to be picked up from dyno tuning.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4681.JPG?m=1457967837\" alt=\"IMG_4681.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At Pat&#8217;s house<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4675.JPG?m=1457960626\" alt=\"IMG_4675.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pat&#8217;s #11<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4687.JPG?m=1457967948\" alt=\"IMG_4687.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gary&#8217;s house<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4703.JPG?m=1457972025\" alt=\"IMG_4703.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At dinner<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/var\/resizes\/miscalbum\/march-12-13-2016\/IMG_4710.JPG?m=1457972115\" alt=\"IMG_4710.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And finally at sisters house with new baby!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After winter upgrades, finally got to drive #48 on the street testing out IRS, big brakes, ABS, and the updated engine tune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ffr48"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1137,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829\/revisions\/1137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
