They were a past signature of my car. But just as seasons change, so does my taste in modifications. As things change I will try to post updates.

They were your signature, your essence, how could you???

Sounds like you're having a major makeover, post pics of your progress.

God Cam, that's deep. As the seasons change.

I see what you mean, life is ephemeral. You could even end up in an SA Vert.

We must latch on when we can and let go when the days get longer or the snow starts to fall.

I'm going to go outside and appreciate The White One III right now. Brett would like that.

Post pics of this New Life of yours, would you?

Also, could somebody post the link for the DGRR registration?

The one I have redirects to the Republican National Committee.

Car will only go into gear when its off, when you start it, wont go into any gear at all. Thought it was extra movement on the slave cylinder, fixed that and it worked for a min, now its back. Any ideas? Pressure plate? Throw out bearing?

Just went through a similar situation. Changed everything, clutch, pressure plate, slave and master cylinder, lines. The same problem. Dropped the transmission several times as well. Last thing I did was changed the pilot bearing and problem went away. Lot of work for $12 part.

i 2nd the pilot bearing. that bearing supports that end of the input shaft. when clutch is depressed, engine continues to rotate but the input shaft stops turning. if that bearing is dry or starting to go bad, it will create friction causing the input shaft to rotate with the engine. so it's like ur not depressing the clutch.

Thanks for the DGRR registration link Michael, but that's the same one that redirects me to the RNC.

Those Republicans are getting pretty desperate when they start trying to trick us Rotor Heads into registering Republican.

Anybody got the actual DGRR link?

Guess its good that I have new clutch master and slave cylinders, a new clutch kit, and new pilot bearings ready to go. Just gotta get them installed. Called Gene to pick up a trans from him since I need a different bell housing as it seems the previous owner decided he needed thicker bolts for the slave cylinder and tapped it much bigger, but haven't heard back from him.

I heard a rumor that I had been registered for DGRR this year, but it isn't true.

As soon as I clicked on that phony link and ended up at the RNC, I immediately exited, deleted my cookies and didn't go back.

Not sure who this Wankel Whacker guy is, but it ain't me.

Yep, and some bubble gum to keep those roller bearings in place. It's an FC after all, doesn't need to be perfect.

Tomorrow is OGTA. Anyone planning to come out? I'll be there.

I guess I need to go sign up for the RNC too, just like Ray.

Yep good day yesterday, got some new bling for the 7, paid a visit to the center of the Rotary Universe, and had a nice meal with Carlos to wrap up the day.

That was a bunch of fun yesterday, comparing rotary notes, drinking diet beer and ogling pristine 12A housings.

And the best part was realizing, after much discussion, that a vote for Trump tomorrow is a vote for Hillary in November.

So for once Cathy and I will be standing in the long line when we vote tomorrow.

Only 452 more views and I start collecting my pension!

Anybody going to the OGTA meeting tomorrow morning or is everyone staying home watching the returns?

Anyone going to be at Taco Mac tonight?

I'm sure all of the televisions at TM will be tuned to the election returns.

Oh, and I did get registered for the RNC.
