I understand that, just got a nice baseline for the car from when I was up there yesterday and couple weeks before that. Would be nice to compare it with the new suspension mods. Plus I have two trackdays between now and the dragon that I want to install them for as well.

Look for the Apex Blue Metallic CR. I'll be there from the previous Wednesday.Cut it a little close this year but I have my room booked. Checking in Tuesday the 16th and departing Monday the 22nd. The extra days are totally justified.

WOW! A 242 with a BMW M5 V8 swap and the correct brakes. If I had that for one of our drives it would get lonely....real fast! I'd have to pull over and wait for you guys every 5 minutes. It would be fun though if Nix would ride with me.

Back to reality. Here's a good shot of me trying to keep up with Conner on the Cherohala Skyway.

Well, I have the skyway drive scheduled for Thursday, so with less traffic it should be a really fun ride. We will start out at the dragon, run up to where the pizza place is, then go back on the skyway to Robbinsville. Less cars for that ride should make it fairly good.
I think so, won't know for another week or two I guess, he mentioned something about August on FB.

Not yet which is good.....
Been chasing a noise from my serpentine belt area, new water pump, alternator and tensioner and while those parts where bad it's not all that bad, new noise is coming from the crank pulley....

How much is a crank pulley? Too bad you cant get a grimspeed pulley for your car. I put one on my car as a percaution.
Time for a miata?

It's 50 bucks, but the bolt is a pain to remove.
Miata will have to happen next year....

The ralco pulley set is pretty nice. Getting that crank pulley off sucks *** though. I went through NSTs and Ralcos. Thought I was selling the car so I put it all back & then kept it. Buh. Once it's off one time it's not so bad. Paid a shop as much as the pulleys cost to do the job though....
There is a special adapter for Honda/Acura crank pulleys. It's like $30 all over the internet.
Vid on how to do it.

I did it twice in a row on a 7th. (Seal was leaking at the camshaft and had to pull it apart again to fix it.) Not fun at all to break the bolt the first time...especially on a 10 year old card. In addition to the crank pulley tool, I had to use two breaker bars and a pipe.
