From what? 9AM yesterday?

 

<p>That was an approved visit. Morning poop before gf was even awake. Just checking in on a few things </p>

 

I should have put money on it.

 

Probably would have been the most financially sound choice. I didn't check on my phone all weekend though. **** died on Thursday and I just charged it.

 

<p>The Gorge in Washington is one of the coolest places I've ever been. If you ever get the chance you should go. Its a huge natural amphitheater that looks out over the columbia river. They have all sorts of shows for whatever music you like.</p><p>More pics to come later</p><p> </p><p>And some regularly scheduled content.</p><p>New downpipe fasteners</p><p><a href="http://imgur.com/x6GmBrS" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://i.imgur.com/x6GmBrSl.jpg" /></a></p><p>Allen heads!!!</p><p><br /><a href="http://imgur.com/QiWPFHk" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://i.imgur.com/QiWPFHkl.jpg" /></a></p><p>Hardwire kit for the valentine. Probably won't be using it because I want to connect a bluetooth serial module to it.</p><p><br /><a href="http://imgur.com/G7f1Pms" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://i.imgur.com/G7f1Pmsl.jpg" /></a></p>

 

<p>Welder shipped on saturday.</p><p>After this thursday I don't think I'll be on the track again until late september (maybe early september) so I'll have some time to play with it maybe. Still need gas and stuff.</p>

 

Yay allen head hex head bolts!

 

<p>Yep. Props to sean. He got me started looking for them after Stage8 told me they didn't exist last time.</p>

 

<p>Ok guys diagnosis time.</p><p>Got under the car. If I push the clutch fork either direction the noise stops. I can push the clutch slave cylinder back in and no noise. Only makes noise when it sits with the very slight amount of pressure from the slave cylinder.</p><p>Going to try and grease the pivot point of the clutch fork without pulling the trans.</p>

 

<p>And video</p><p> </p>

 

<p>Adjusted the clutch again. Helped a bit. Still makes noise when I wiggle the clutch fork. I'm going to leave it for now. But probably order a new TOB at some point.</p>

<p>Car is packed up for the track day on Thursday. Just need to hop in and drive to the track.</p><p>Ground wire added for testing with the VEI gauge issue.</p><p></p>

 

Your TOB seems to be riding on the clutch fingers, it shouldn't be.

 

<p>I think I fixed it. We'll see.</p>

 

<p>Morning of a track day:</p><p><br /></p><p>Only I could pull this off. I realized it before I left the driveway though.</p><p>Special delivery from @Monk!!!!</p><p><br /></p>

 

<p>Track day went well otherwise. Got to ride with @greddygalant and @curly, that was a blast. Only got black flagged once (blew threw the chicane twice, I still have some ptsd from last year)</p><p>Laid down a 1:35.9 which isn't horrible. I have some issues to work out, going to try raising the suspension and getting another alignment. Also I'm still getting some gnarly brake fade. Going to flush the brakes.</p><p>Also my master started leaking from the reservoir. Need to find another one of those, any reason I can't take the master+booster from my 2001?</p>

 

Aiden, I ran a 36.2 with 100whp, perhaps less. More suspension and braking upgrades, less drivetrain crap!
I'll take you out in Laz next, you'll poop yourself

 

Your driving is significantly better than mine.
<br />I don't think suspension upgrades are happening anytime soon.
<br />Brakes will happen this winter
<br />I think alignment and ride height adjustments will help some, also I was struggling with brake fade.
