Sounds like fun Jeff. 180 birds is no joke! I doubt there's 180 pheasants in all of PA.


You're right, Sunday is the Eagles game. Look for me in 106....ROW 1. Yes, you read that correctly. I'll also be on the big screen during the opening video sequence.

And Saturday is the last chance for drag racing at Maple Grove for the year. So I will probably be going out to try and get a couple good runs in before lunch. Just hoping for a personal best to end the year on a good note.

 

Just got home from R/T Tuning. They worked the alignment up to my specifications, ended with about 1.9 in front, and 1.4 in the rears. Toe is at .04, which is damn near zero! I dont remember the other numbers...

 

I just wanted to share a weird one. I'm cruising along through a small town along 82 about half an hour ago. I click on my high beams and boom, there's a deer just standing on the side of my car, then it's ramming into the rear door before I could react. No damage that I can see except for a scuff mark, but it scared the hell out of me. I think I let out a little girlie yelp.
I'm coming Sunday to watch this time. Last time my son got sick so I wanted to stay home with him but this weekend is one of the few with nothing happening.

 

Coming to watch.... screw that you should race

Chu - your going to want more toe than that brotha!!! If you want to get serious about autox we can talk Sunday, otherwise you can keep rolling around on that alignment

Oh and I have a set of Ohlins that would be perfect for you

 

I can't. My clutch is sticking on me and not releasing at higher RPM's.

 

Thats ashame. You know.... I could fix that for you Obviously not before the event though.

 

Hehe. I do everything myself from engine and transmission builds to powder coating. I can fix it, it's simply a matter of spending $600+ without my wife knowing and being too busy to dedicate a full day to yanking and replacing the trans. I might have to just pick up a pucked disc since my PP is only 10K miles old and hope that holds up for a few months.

 

If I could give you $200/month, I'd take them. lol. I wish I could afford those Ohlins brother!

 

chu, they're pretty good aligning over there. i am trying to sort out something, so pat put my alignment dead center in the factory specs. total toe is 0.00 etc. i think i have a tire pull. it's pulling right under accerleration but when it's hot it isn't so bad and this alignment really settled it down. he thought i was having an issue with my diffs. i am hoping it really is just tires.

josh, since i've been driving everyday this week with the strike, i've been taking backroads to south philly from here and all i see are blood covered roads. it didn't make a huge impression on me until i was driving to west chester in the dark last night on the backroads. the deer are out now!

 

I've noticed the bloody messes are increasing along my route to work.
The weather is looking perfect tomorrow. Sunny and mid 60's. I miss summer already.

 

We went to Trenton lastnight for an LFL game, on the way home one ran across the TP in front of me while I was doing about 85mph. Scared the ish out of the wife and I, backed it down to about 70 for the rest of the way home. Was in the Evo too, it would have not been pretty.

I know someone who needs a clutch put in his car, but the name escapes me right now... I'm sure it will come to me.

 

Nah you don't need a clutch, its not even slipping yet ;-)

 

I don't want to wait till it breaks... I'm sick of calling for tow trucks.

 

That's the boat I'm in. It doesn't slip but it definitely isn't liking WOT pulls or downshifting under load. My TOB was questionable as well when I rebuilt the trans but I was cheap and put it back in. Now it's making noises and chattering.

 

My clutch chatters so bad it shakes the entire car. I'm still on the original though, its got 64k on it and it holds fine. I'm just ready for something that can take a little more abuse.
