Ha, no, just my inability to be in town for a weekend.

And the fact that we are Team WTF?! in every way.

I would definitely attempt to make it to another get together. I haven't seen some of you since we worked on Nick's racecar like 10 years ago.

90% chance I'm going to be in DC on Tuesday evening. Capitol Hill area.

Staying away from Embassy Row, I hope...which would have been story #1 yesterday in a normal world.

Let me know if you want to have a drink.

I'm staying around NoMA as hotels near Capitol/Mall are prohibitive. I'll be up for a drink if that doesn't disrupt schedules.

NoMA is a hot new neighborhood and I pass through it on the way home (now that I'm taking the subway again).

Anytime after 4:30 works for me.

Matt has a limited slip, 3.15 differential!

Nick M3 · 05-28-2017, 05:44 PM

So, what's left?

Hmm... Main thing holding me back is I need to drill out all four studs on the manifold outlets. Then the trans can go back in, the exhaust back on, and the car can go on the ground.

I did the motor mounts and the air /oil separator today as well as cleaned the throttle body. Need to do the vanos seals, then get the valve cover back on and power wash the engine. Cooling system, then onto the interior stuff. But as far as being able to drive it, it's really close.
