    Amanda is starting to think I wont drive it once Im done. Regardless, its keeping me active and helping me learn new things. Its certainly not a budget build, and might be a little overkill for a low power vehicle, but Ill have everything done should I want to add a turbo in the future.

    Bruce, the few times I did Autocross on Newfound Lake in N.H. with the Boston BMWCCA it was the same situation. Lots of standing around while the AWD cars got pulled out of the snow banks. I was one of the few in my MS6 that didnt need to get pulled out. Ashley, nice bike, that looks...

    I gotta get to Daytona as well, maybe next year. This year Im going to try to make it to the Deals Gap Rotary Rally. Gotta finish the car...but I think they attendees would rather see the REPU, but Id much rather hit the dragon in the 7.

    Hi-ya! An early Merry Christmas to all. And a Huyler garage project update... REPU...still in the shop. Every time they put it on the dyno they find a problem. Its a wonder how I drove it for a year, and yet they cant seem to last 30 minutes without breaking something. First it was the...

    Slow and steady, pulling parts off the RX7, cataloging the bolts and fasteners, then doing my best to clean off 30yrs of grime including that nasty rust preventative stuff.

    Speaking of coil packs, Im long over due for changing out the spark plugs on the CX9. I just looked up the forum thread and its going to be quite a process because they wedges that V6 in tight against the firewall. The back 3 will require removing the intake box and plenum and replacing the...

    I went to Thompson. I met this real old guy, said his name was, oh I forget. He had a car like yours so I let him go for a ride along. First session: Very wet, but the grip was consistent. I ran faster wet laps with my semi slicks than I did with my Yokohamas...but I've learned a bit...

    The MR2 is back on all 4 wheels, drives great, but still more to do. Failed state inspection because of passenger window not working (already fixed), cracked header (ordering a new one today), and rust (going to get an estimate for repairs on Monday). Otherwise, it’s starting to really take...
