A good time was had by all. Such a great time. Next year will be even crazier. My brain is turning already.

Got some more work done this weekend. Back when I swapped the diff's I didn't have another set of poly bushings, so using the old racers trick I filled the rubber with urathane. It helps but the real deal is better. Got around to putting that together finally.

Since I dropped my subframe down and put new alignment bolts in, My modified ctrl arms to correct that negative camber now went the other direction. So I put the stockers back in. (Red ones)

Flat facing surfaces right behind a tire... that didn't go over super well with my paint. So a quick toughening up job was applied too. We shall see how this hold up.

Went for a boot in the back yard this weekend. The snow is starting to melt. I was itching to get muddy. Big wall of ice under the surface that I couldn't get over before the ecu got wet and dropped two cylinders.

Left it over night. Water froze. Had me an unhappy ecu this morning with all that ice. Good thing I got spares. This one has gone into a bag of rice.

In the process of determining my running issues, I remembered that I put the wrong fuel rail spacers in. I couldn't find the right ones at the time. So... thanks to my 3d printer, 18 minutes later I had the correct spacers.
