Very true. I was busy remembering to bring and return Franklins wheels/tires. Are you going to the Reisterstown meet?

@Rocky - Pending your route and timing I might be able to meet with you guys on 695

I may be trekking down to Manassas Sunday. How much of a hassle is it going to be to pick the thing up? I can bring it with me to Bowie provided it will fit in a FD and not **** all over the interior

Earthquakes in Va now? That was a pretty good one. Hope no one was under their car on jack-stands when it hit.

Probably the FD, his VR4 doesn't like the rain very much


Hey Davin, how are you settling in to DC? did you ever find the mythical place with a garage downtown?

Haha too true. I still haven't built an airbox around my filter so water from the front tire gets flung right up into it (no fender liner). For some reason water in the intake messes up the GM MAF sensor ;P As fun as the Galant can be, on the 15" omg-huge-sidewall all-season tires it's wearing these days it's not great around the cones

Uh, that was last Sunday. I already have the transmission and will be bringing it to him tomorrow at the autocross.

Or were you quoting that to reference that you wanted to come to the autocross tomorrow? If that is the case I can meet up if you want to, but you'd probably rather just meet us there. We have to be there early for tech inspection, drivers meeting, etc. Runs don't start till around 9am and last until 3pm or so. If you are thinking about coming, the address is: 4101 Crain Highway Bowie, MD 20716-3616. But it is pretty useless if you enter it into Google maps. Here is a good link that shows you where everything is: CLICK

Yeah, I figured you would see it in that post. You got a pretty well used clutch assembly too. Dunno what condition it is in and you likely don't need it, but it is there.
