Well, I asked Dustin if I could use his garage/shop for a day or two, and his expertise, to get a few well-needed things done to my Square.

If hes up for it, I'll splurge on some steaks and beer, and we can have a little get together at his house, on my next set of days off. Which is 7-10 days from now.


Glad the vr mk2 is running pertty again bud. thumright

That would be awesome. I hear there may be some newish members in town? It would be cool to meet up! And I wouldnt mind meeting the others members i have not met yet...steak sounds good too.

The MK2 is running needs an alignment soon and I have got to get that clutch fixed SOON.

oem is more than enough. I did some very naughty things to my VR, the clutch was the least of its problems.

But, you knew that lol. Razz

Probably be better to order it in, then buy it at the dealership. Still have that website address I bought all my parts from? Theyre probably your best bet, price wise.

Hey Daniel, welcome on.

We get together on random days, usually when Im on days off. But I'm sure Mitch and the other boys would be up for a meet.

We do plan on being a more active 'chapter' in gp next season for sure.

In fact we have been offered our own area at Drag Wars, if there's enough of us.
