Pile of parts showed up yesterday.. Cobra Imola 2s, Stillen Y-Pipe and plate bracket, the front bumper foam, and of course.. the WaveTrac

Hopefully, the bearings and ring gear bolts show up today/tomorrow so that monday night i can work on getting the exhaust and pumpkin out of the car.

Fingers crossed on the seat brackets though.. buddy clubs look like they're on back order

Happy Friday. Someone is going to spend at least half a day at the hospital for tests and exams. Poor little Devin.

We're trying to figure it out and eliminate all of the obvious issues like allergies and tumors/cysts. Still no idea what's going on except diarrhea everyday for almost 2 months.

Poor little guy, you guys tried no dairy for two weeks right? Just in case he's Lactose intolerant, no eggs either.

/sigh.. friday night just after nismo closed i found out i need the shorty stub shafts to install the diff. Oh well. I put the order in this morning so hopefully i'll get them by the end of the week. Still going to get started on yanking that pumpkin and getting the diff installed though.. just that much longer before I can actually put it back in the car.

This weekend's autox events went well though. Got some good practice in Saturday and feel much more confident in the car. Sunday my co-driver was able to put the car 1 second behind first on a 60 second course. Knowing how much I'm wheel spinning all over the place, I don't doubt that diff is worth that one second pretty easily.

Finally got a good pic of the car in action though:

Anyone interested in a Borla True-Dual Cat back?

Aw, guys looking out for me.

Got some bad news about Devin's tests. He has to go in for more serious tests and exams now. It involves full anesthesia. Dammit.

We got a 2 page report that's in doctor language. One of our nurse friends said that a couple of results has something to do with kidney function.

BTW, I was looking at that Lotus Elise thread when you deleted it. That's a nice toy.
