When you buy a new car while still at the challenge, and need to prep it for the track day the following day. 

Shifter was too close to the dash.

I'm going to blame you for everything because you were selected as the subject mater expert.

I'm not sure if I can love this thread more without it getting awkward.

Whoa, manual transmission panther? I need a moment...

Awake and sober after participating in these shenanigans... the best choices made ever. 
 

personally love how every grm'er there was actively willing to hand over cash to get it picked up last night so we would have something to do.

Maybe we should just change the challenge to a week long event like the drag week events. Can you imagine how interesting it would get by the last day?

Some 32v vacuum IMRC info

If the vac solenoid isn't present or functional, just tie the IMRC actuators open for now.

 

Also, updates are required from the FIRM today! We are on the way home and I have the FOMO

If we don't see footage of this thing hitting the rallycross jump what are you even at The Firm for?

In reply to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :

Sadly, I decided that it was too janky on the 22s for any real run on the track. The car is surprisingly nice. It will be back in Florida soon enough. 

Thanks to everyone that helped out in various ways on this silly car!

Thanks! I will give this a look once we get home with the car. 

The wheels Robbie had hit the ball joint so it was run on the 22s or not at all.

I heard the rumors about this, and guess they were true.

Play through.
