Yeah, I am in need of a place to do it. Does anyone here have access to a lift or willing to jack the car up high enough to do the clutch. I just don't have the knowledge/tools/space to do it at my parents house. I can't afford to pay someone to do it. I have everything I need, just need a few guys willing to help out and a place to do it. As far as the cam, I still have to figure out which cam I am going with and get the gasket kit, other than the actual cam itself and the gasket kit, I have all parts for the cam swap too. Nick and "spray goat" are you guys willing to tackle this one day in the near future? Anyone have a place or way of doing it? Keep in touch, as soon as someone says "yes" I can have it there as soon as you are willing.

Sounds good, It looks like it will be happening in the next couple weeks in crawfordsville at "jarrethise" house. As long as its cool with him, I am down for the extra hands! We are just doing the clutch for now, but hopefully will do the cam in the next few months.

I'm also more than happy to lend a hand, class work permitting of course. Just keep us in the loop on when it is going to happen.

"jarrethise" Jarret, one of his buddy's, and I were able to get the new clutch in. It was a pain in the *** and we had a few small setbacks, but it seems to be doing well. It took us 2 days taking our time and doing dinner each night, and a 3rd day just to get the sucker bleed. Everything is great with it now and hopefully it will stay that way. Thanks jarrett.

Yeah, we all need to get together. Let me know when and where! I know there is a PAPA car show that will be at memorial mall within the next couple months. I think it is their call out. We should all show up there and talk cars for a while.

I'm for it. I had my Formula out on Memorial Lawn once for Grand Prix week, and it was really fun. Let me know when you guys start getting your cars out. I am the complete opposite of Nate and have put close to 650 miles on my car in the past week. Woo. No.

Hope you're all doing fine. Can't wait to get all the cars out.

Ed

Think it'd be odd if I showed up to an event for students when I've already graduated? It'd be fun, but it might look a little odd if I showed up... LOL
Any thoughts??

Nate,

You're alumni. Besides, you're not too far removed for someone to question it. However, if you are really concerned, I would have no problem driving your car for the day to put it out there... I'll give you a little time to think about it haha.

Just thought i would check back in with you all. I made some changes to my WS6. I did have polished C6 wheels on it and I decided to sell them. They just made the car sit too high. I picked me up a set of torque thrust M's Anthracite with some good year F1 tires. I bought the 9" width for the front and the 10.5" for the rear. The rear will also be sporting some 315"s, so it ought to look pretty mean.

Can't wait to see it, Cody. Definitely a sharp car you have. I'm anxiously awaiting the time when my car no longer fades from gray to blue, and just stays blue (salt).
