Is that still going on?

I think the signs are still up but I'm not 100% sure. I never go out the main entrance since my building is right next to the side entrance.

Also, I wont help you move in but I will drive your 8

It would be nice to have someone I "know" around there, we have no friends that live within 40 miles!

Doc: I have plans for the pipe to make it back into a working cat for autoX.

Below is a pic, so with the large resonator, it wouldn't be a good straight pipe.

OK...looks like the 6Club is going to meet at Winking Lizard on Coventry on Aug 28th at 730 if anyone wants to join us. It sux to get to you and you have to pay for parking but it is a really great area with a bunch of really interesting and unique people. If you want to join us let me know so I can phone ahead as we are probably picking a bad night.

STEVE!!!


I have your brake pads and engine cover. Picked them up over at Ryan's last night when we put the rear suspension back on.

I shall transfer them to your posession at the autocross on Sunday

If you get there early enough on Sunday I can. I usually get there sometime between 7 and 7:30, so if you can be there around that time I'll make my best attempt to get them on. It doesn't take long on "normal" cars, so baring any unforseen circumstances we should be able to get all four corners done in 30 minutes doing one corner at a time.

The only thing I am worried about is the front calipers. When we did your suspension and you had the bolts out of the calipers, the passenger side wouldn't rotate/budge/anything. Almost like it was stuck in the bracket or something. I even tried prying it up a little with my big screwdriver and it wouldn't budge.

Maybe have Jon take a quick peek at that today when you guys do the waterpump and thermostat?

Or you could just bring the pads down today and we can install them now?

Lol. I'm at work, can't come down. Then after work I have to go to Cleveland for a buddies birthday celebration thing.

I'll try and get them on Sunday before the event. I think I still have some grease left for the shims I'll bring.


Unless you want to drive to Columbiana to get them. Basically East on 30 to Route 11. 11 North to Columbiana. Easy cheesy.

Have Steve check the pipe... I recall TJ mentioning something about a hole in it.
yeah sorry i havent been on, first night at college was a little busy. but yes the gutted cat does have a hole in it according to the mechanic i had look at it. and judging by the difference in how my new midpipe smells compared to the old one i'd probably say its true. but you guys can do whatever you want with it.

A hole in the midpipe? No problem!

I told them I had a reference and would turn it in when I pick up the keys (I forgot to write your name down).
I saw at the front door they advertised a $250 credit for a reference.
I actually went to high school with one of the consultants Traci so she has been cool with helping me out.
