my friend and i were going to take our cars to the drag strip and i was messing around with my carb and took it out for a run around down my street to see how everything was and i ended up coasting beack into my drive-way on one rotor,just barely able to go.

I went and got an engine from (rotarycrazy) that he had and im just waiting for some new gaskets, block-off plates, and clutch that i will be ordering this week.

Im going to replace the pilot and throw-out bearing also but not too sure about how that is done since i know you need a specail tool for the pilot..........

Jamin i will probably call you tomorow and talk to you. since you might not have work and i dont have school i could come get the hoist from you. Thanks for loaning it to me.

minda, how long of a trip are you wanting to go on? if i get the chance, i'll drive route i have listed and see how long it is...hopefully it will fall into our time constraints...if not, i will figure out something else...another idea is that we gather in asheville or hendersonville for lunch and end up at your house after the drive...but i know thats an 1/2 hour to hour of driving for everyone...but would allow us to get to some other roads quicker...

just let me know, ok?

well we need to keep this in about 3 hours or so not like some of the drives of 200+ miles that we have taken before inprovize or something becouse I am working all the time right now and really have no idea of what roads are open and what not if you could check it out that would be great.

P.S. hows your car coming along?

well, i found two new things being a bitch on my car today... i have a leak either w/ my piston or the lines on my passenger side front brakes. my power steering seems to be messing up somehow?!?!?! it would go in and out and seem to get worse as the more i drove. it has a very low tolerance to driving the twisties now. so, im going to look into getting that **** worked out asap and most likely be able to make it to the meet.

haha thats an 8 jamin. the 8's had the split grile like my lancer, the 9's had the one piece like the rest of the evos. looks gud dude. saw em on chas racing too. the lancer is the body style b4 mine tho. same engine, just has a returnless fuel system.

btw back on topic....does anyone know if the s5 n/a's came with a metal thermo housing or if a metal thermo housing works on the s5? seems alot better than plastic.

yeah the patch job was bad, so my dad thinks i should just get a new plastic housing. i used to have what i thought was a ceramic thermo housing tho. too bad i sold it. some guy in west ashley named ken claims to possibly have a plastic neck, and a thermo, they just gotta check their garage.
