So I half killed my car on Monday....I was at PIR and thought...geez..the power just doesn't seem to be there....weird. When I was on the revs consistantly around 8, it would get warmer..around 2/3 of the way up the guage. Then I started short shifting around 7 and it was fine. Still low on power....in the pits it had a new cam lobe to the idle! oops. Tested the compressions and the front is very low, while the rear is just above acceptable. ****. I really wanted to get through this year and do something over the winter. Oh well. It still drive ok, just sounds a little shitty on the low end. Maybe I can blow it up on our drive! Yeah baby! Thinnking I might put a RE motor in it. Anyone here ever done that?

Any idea what time we will be getting to the coast? My plan is to drive out, then do a round of golf at Manzanita (one of my favorite golf courses!) before driving back on my own. I'll need to make a tee-time. Anyone else golf?
I will probably have an extra seat in my GSL-SE, if anyone needs/wants a ride.
