It was a busy night for Trio, had to hide Luigi's ball

yet they are peas in a pod... there is a 6 or so month age difference

back to C3 content
I can move the exhaust pipe towards the car. Granted, it's no longer parallel, but I have a thought

that it will help deflect noise

I'm close, within 1 db...

wow, the impossibility of getting a rebuilt steering rack for a C5 or C6 is pretty remarkable.... I bought another used one, figure I'll get my current one rebuilt (maybe?)


I only post this as warning - in case others figure 'they'll just pick one up'.... yeah, even my parts guy is coming up with zeros....

if it weren't for bad luck

this isn't the problem

this is

if you're missing the issue - the mount tab is broken off.... wasn't in the box.

It's time to get ready for practice at Portland international raceway and Optima

by fixing a bent bracket

I think I may have touched a tree with the spoiler... oops



bracket had to come off (not fun)



and got a repaint



the guy I bought the house from owns a shop with water jet - so he's going to cut out brackets for me. I want the spoiler to move back, but Optima requires that the spoiler be no taller then 8" above the highest point of the deck.... so two brackets



measure the highest point with a box top





so these two bits...
