Stupid rain... I got the email last night about SD15 bring cancelled due to the weather today. I was really looking forward to this, (like I wouldn't look forward to it?...)it was an invite only event. The rain date was for next sunday, so We'll try it then. I feel like I've figured out my clutch issues (YEA!) and cruised into town for a fresh tank of E85. There is this lull in the road about a mile or two north of my brothers and coming back I squeezed the trigger on it, hitting 110 from 60, seemingly, instantly. Fuck yeah! Nothing beats torque!
Today I feel like I've been run down by a truck. Yesterday, I helped my buddy with some stuff on his Monte. We pulled the trans to install the bigger clutch hyd. lines, like we did on my car, got the Camaro pedals in, and bleed and mounted a new clutch master cyl. The trans work went WAY better than I'd expected it to. I suppose that should've been a sign of things to come. The pedals and master cyl. fought me every step of the way. Climbing in and out from under the dash, probably at least a dozen times, wore me out!
Lastly, It would seem every time I work on my car, it gets closer and closer to becoming a full-tilt race car. And driving a car that borders on being so, is a cool thing. Arriving at Meijers to fill up, I pull the quick release, yank the steering wheel, drop it on the pass. seat, and climb out over the, recently, "X'd" door bars to fill up with 105 octane equivalent fuel. I realized I encountered nothing like it on my drive to and from the fill up. Being different from every body else IS cool. Sure, I don't have the only borderline streetable car, but how many of them are 4-door Malibu's?....That drift?
