    We had our PDXMINI Club Tech Day. I installed the H Sport 25.5mm hollow rear sway bar and a NM Engineering torque arm insert. Also did a brake fluid flush with some ATE Super Blue. Very excited!

    I took Dark Helmet out for a spirited shake down before the Dragon and noticed that something was loose in the rear suspension that caused him to oversteer in the corners. Got him back home and found two lock nuts on the adjustable rear lower control arms that had backed off causing flex between the arm stud and the arm housing. Tighten the nuts and took a test drive....all is fine again. He's getting aligned today just to make sure the arms didn't move.

    Headed out this morning very early & drove the Riverrun route. Beautiful wonderful day for a drive on Ohio's finest back roads. The supercharger was singing its song in hills. :D Lots of Amish folk out working their land today. Just like you Chuck. :wink:

    Yesterday actually, I scored a first place nod at the British Extravaganza car show with my 70 Austin Cooper S MkII. Not so good luck though for my buddy's car on the track after breaking a steering arm.... Still FUN times though. Thanks VARA!
