Getting the Laser ready for AutoX

Though I would post some progress I've made on my Laser. After sitting out the whole summer, I finally decided to put insurance on it and make it to the last autocross of the year here in Winona. My first thing that I did to it was change the oil, new filter. Then I drove it around for a day, had a lot of fun. After about 3 hours, the driver's side rear caliper froze up, so I limped her home. Next morning, I saw it really needed a rebuild, so I just took some material off the pads on that side so I could still drive it.

Fast forword to about a week later, today, and I started up on it again after getting some extra money after selling my r/c truck. I fabbed up a battery tie down, and fixed the previous exhaust problem. Here's what the exhaust looked like before:



Here's what it's like now:



Has a better sound now IMO. Has a deeper, more rumble to it.

Next, either today yet or tomorrow I'm going to fix the oil leak on the turbo oil return line, rebuild the driver's side rear caliper, and see if the left front wheel bearing needs to be replaced.
