Changed out the coils, plugs, and wires today... Well, work in progress.
Thank goodness I now have a garage.

she's tucked away under 2' of snow in a barn....i won't see her again till the middle of next month :( that's not stopping me from thinking about her though! ;)
 
This evening, prep for tomorrow's autocross begins in earnest (even though, if we're honest, I've been doing that for months now). My folks are also leaving for most of the rest of the year tomorrow, so we're having dinner with them, which is cool, but (because I'm selfish), seriously cuts in to my "get sh*t ready" time lol
 
Autocrossed it, and was reminded of just how freaking fun this thing is :D

Counting down....


So... totally terrorized the town with mine today. And got them damn ******* locking lugs off of it. Some creative welding on Jess' dad's part, and a lot of hopes and prayers, but they're off now. Many thanks on that part. Only downside... head from the welder burnt the paint on the wheels. Lemme just say, if that's the worst thing to happen, I'm perfectly fine with it.
 
21st raw and 39th index out of 170 drivers. I'll take it with an under-prepped car on old tires lol
 
Got the front suspension entirely apart. More ball joints ordered...

Had the weirdest stuck bolt symptoms in one of the PPF bolts. It unscrewed fine, dropped about 1in out, then stopped. It would spin and slide freely, but not drop more than 1in out. Eventually took a friend with a 4ft pry bar under the flange of the bolt and me on an impact gun spinning it and it eventually slid out. The damage: a mushroomed shoulder. How the s***...?
