Seems it has been canceled this year. Oh well, I probably couldn't have made it anyway.

For Ian's sake, they were a 170hp 2.4 (blah) and 260hp 2.0 turbo (less blah).

Keep up the good work guys!

I loled at the nice big black spot.

Well, after the transmisison shit the bed I finally got around to pulling it. Saw this when the pressure plate came off.

Just about shit myself. All the flywheel bolts were loose, one backed out far enough to hit the clutch disk. Not really sure wtf happened there, was using ARP bolts@90lbs and red loctite in all of them. Thank god the trans let go when it did, or I might have lost my legs.

Anyone got any ideas what happened there? Hoping I fucked up somewhere so I can correct it, but I don't really see how.
