First off Spazz- Good news If you guys are coming. Second, got my rebuilt SC back from Florida yesterday noon ($490). Spent the afternoon reinstalling, hard tedious work for only two hands. Bottom line is have a leak at plenum where EGR tube attaches. used plumbers tape as a quick fix & VX runs strong. Sure could tell mine was the prototype SC install, nuff said about that.Will finish it off this AM. Already had replaced the Extra heavy steel skid plate with one made of UHMW (BreadBoard). Lost 150 lbs in weight & regained an inch of clearance.
Moncha: I wouldn't worry to much about washing your Proton if you are going to attempt Hells Gate. Chances are it will be a parts car before you get 3/4 the way up. I believe all the extra weight in the rear of the Dragon kept it from going over backwards like the jeep (Tracy Roll Video)
