HB 550 got an unfavorable report from the committee which is a good sign for us.

That is fantastic news, but keep on your elected officials. It's not out yet.

"Thank you for contacting Delegate O'Donnell regarding House Bill 550, Vehicle Laws - Historic Motor Vehicles. This legislation received an unfavorable report and will go no further this legislative session."

Looks like we're fine until at least next year

Yeah, then the same jackass politicos that sponsored the bill will try again. Be vigilant, and raise hell when they do!

Hey fellas, they are starting up a "Cars & Coffee" weekly car show in Hunt Valley this weekend. There's been one going on in Virginia for a while just like it, usually with a good turnout of interesting cars. If the weather was nice I might roll out the CYM and see how many people tell me "Nice Viper".
Looks a little like rain so I'll probably just drive the RX-8 and go see what other people bring. There will be better days.

(Sorry for the fraudbook link. Some people still think it's cool. )

A very good reason, ha. They canceled this weekends meet because of the holiday. April 14th, 7:30-9:30 am is the next one. Hope to see some rotary pride out there. Or at least Mazda pride...

I have a S4 LSD (not in a pumpkin) with a pair of early '87 S4 equal length stub shafts. I also have an S5 pumpkin with an S5 LSD in it sitting around if you want a spare to do the swap.

both from a turbo.

EDIT: and yes, you do need S4 stub shafts for any LSD that's not an S5 viscous.

You are a response ninja. I was hoping to pick something up on a weeknight before Saturday, is there another place on this side of DC?

**I found some different places, what type of rating should I look for?

The housings are good. Here are some pics I took when I was putting it together. They aren't the greatest quality, but you get the idea.
