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.  _________________ Contrary to popular belief, I am neither a dog nor a kid. |

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. _________________ HIO!! |

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.  _________________ Contrary to popular belief, I am neither a dog nor a kid. |

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. _________________ Contrary to popular belief, I am neither a dog nor a kid. |

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. _________________ Contrary to popular belief, I am neither a dog nor a kid. |
