Really not interested in shipping them two axles... lol

 

[B16]

Got my new clutch on, got a Competition 6 puck sprung. Next to get the tranny back on and everything buttoned up. Hopefully have her running again this week!

Good fer ya - I need to get myass in gear and put mine back together.....

 

[B16]

Went to put the trans back on last week and noticed I had two more stripped holes in the block. I actually had 3 all together. I repaired one before installing the clutch, only to realize two more were stripped! All threads are now repaired via helicoil, now to find time to reassemble again..

 

[B16]

She runs! Drove her around the block tonight. . Few more things to do before I can track her.

Glad to see you are keeping it for now!

HPD is great but, it always seems like they do 2 day shipping and I get raped on it.

For sure! Buttonwillow is a fun track, its been a few years since I've been down there, need to make another trip.

Not necessarily keeping it, but might as well drive it while I have it in my possession right?

Yes, their shipping rates are ridiculous.

Holy fucking shit!

After taking a hiatus of over 1 and 1/2 years I'm going racing again on 4/13-14! Now I need to re-fab my catch can and make sure the car is in order.

Might need new tires since it has sat on them for such a long time.

woo hoo!

I will get down there this year.

So, I took my car to get realigned and balanced again since I thought the car drove like shit with the way the last dude aligned it. Come to find out I had 1" of TOE IN! 1"!! jesus, its amazing I was able to even turn a 2:06 at THill like that. No wonder the car kept spinning on me. The rear had a little toe in and cross weight was off by 6%.

This weekend should be good now that I have my shit dialed in right. I also got this app on my iphone for integrating video, laptimes and G's. Need to go find a suction mount for it. Should be pretty cool.

Got fresh tires, fresh brakes and the trailer is loaded up. I head out tomorrow night. I'm super excited.
