Will probably change a little when I get down to doing my chores.

I'm not sure there are any concrete plans for it this year. Jeff is on a trip somewhere with limited internet access. He should be able to answer once he is back home.

If there's any drives, I'm in. Hope all my old friends are doing well.

A2, we should catch up soon. I'm in your neighborhood all the time.

sure thing Mark. We should for sure. I’ll free up weekend of July 4th as JJ and my daughter will be leaving to go spend a few weeks in Barbados. We could do our civic Si meets again

welp, after a year of battling with Hi-Spec Motorsports about John's BBK, they finally got back to me. they initially said the calipers were not economically feasible to repair, now they told me it will be less than 400 bucks. So even though i don't have the money right now, i pulled the trigger on that. I'll be purchasing new disks and one new hat/bell as well. So I hope that in the next 2 months, I'll have the back in my hands and i can install them this fall.

I still need to diagnose the eps and the SRS, but for now... the car is slowly coming together. i've put about 500 miles on it but need to get the EPS fixed before i run some figure 8's to help break in the new clutches in the OSgiken diff per Puddy's recommendation. My bum shoulder just can't handle doing figure 8's at lower speed.

hopefully this summer will be the Super Charger install from John too

Thompson bound. Just need to wash the car much as it looks clean from 20 feet.

Brake fluid change in the S did the trick. Feels far less spongey now.

best to do it every 3 years Mark. I didn’t do mine since 2016 and the amount of sludge in the master cylinder was eye-opening. Never again.
