Wrapped up the new rear axle assembly install tonight, as well as the bump steer kit, studs, and front brakes. Final bolt touch tomorrow as well as a brake bleed, then off to the alignment shop. Still have to go trailer shopping and pick up harnesses and an oil cooler as well as mail in my license paperwork and a few detail items, but the plan is to be there and to race.
Anyone got a member slot at MSR that I could use for a shakedown?
I will bring a manicure kit so if you get a hang nail you wont have to go home. Hallett is a long drive. I will pack the machine shop also, just in case you need some more serious help. :DQuote:

I know all of you guys would be out there racing with 4 tabs from your trak-loc floating around inside your diff getting caught between the pinion and ring at regular intervals. Guess I'm just not hardcore. :?
If Ginsberg wants to talk shit to you guys about me letting "minor things" keep me from the track, that's his prerogative, but I can assure you that I've spent a tremendous amount of time, effort, and money in getting what turned out to be a basketcase of a car into something approaching a safe and competitive racer, and don't take kindly to my efforts being trivialized. I'd have been out there in February if it were possible, but I'm not about to get macho and run the car in a condition where it's just going to cost me more money to fix the stuff that breaks because the stuff that I didn't fix broke it - that's just stupid.
Whoa! Where's that cc.com game of catch with the hardball, Lewis?
I understand where you're at but this group isn't the type to throw too many lob-balls, you know that. All in good fun!

I know burch retired this phrase but I like it...."cinch it up!" excuses are for women, babies and losers.
Feel motivated now? :P
Sorry for the lack of humor on this one, kids.
After 16 months and 5 figures of building the car and all of the assorted BS that has been associated with it, most of which you guys know little to nothing about, combined with Ginsberg's near constant badgering to "get the car done" every time I talk to him as if I'm sitting here with my thumb up my ass instead of working 11 hour days at the office, travelling 80% of the time, and then spending every free moment I have working alone in that damn cramped garage only to find that every time I fix one problem left by the assbag previous owner of the car, two more appear - the ice is pretty stinkin thin around this subject.
To those of you that have helped me with the car (Glenn, Michael/Marshall Mosty, Adam(occasionally ;) )) - I appreciate it, that's the kind of action that brings motivation.
dont thank me Lewis, my intentions were lined w/ the most dishonest intentions - i so it has been brought to my attention. i'm not so sure i was really trying to help now.
Well piss on you, then. :DQuote:
