Hey Brian...welcome back. btw...I have been asked if you will be at the Car Show on the 27th. A certain individual seems to think you know a bunch about cars, I don't know where they would have got that idea, as they attempt to car shop to replace their rust bucket.

I'll probably go to the autoshow, not sure what day yet though. I can talk with the better half and see if she wants to go on the 27th. No free passes this year though, the RX-8 isn't going to be in the show. haha

Kristen and I were planning to do either the 26th or 27th.

She got a new job working at Enterprise, so she's actually been driving alot of new cars recently... clearly mostly fleet cars, but still. Can't believe she's getting paid to drive around fetch cars and stuff.

OK guys. Red Racer is back. I have a ton to do in less than a month. Anybody can help, let me know. Lots of projects and only 2 hands. Jon and I are doing tranny this weekend.

Brian, I need your help with the front bearings asap. Blackberry me when you are able to help with them. Tnx.

Depending on how things go, try to get the whole thing done that day and leave Sunday for BHR coils and other wiring Doc has planned for me to install.

Mark I already texted you, but I'll be by to help Saturday and Sunday. I can get the new wheel bearings done while the car is in the air for the trans.

Need me to bring any tools that you may not have?

I'm going to try to stop by also. Brian, care to walk me through how to swap out wheel bearings? I've never done it, plus it seems like it would transfer from car to car pretty well.

Wow... I hardly recall the last time we had everyone together for an install.
Speaking of which... who is bringing the fire extinguisher?

Pretty good... Steve, Brian, and Megan were there.
Trans is dropped and flywheel is removed.
Installed the release bearing and prepared the trans for installation.
BHR coils also installed.

Tomorrow we'll be installing the flywheel, clutch, tranny and everything else underneath.
And we'll also be focusing on the various wiring projects Doc has in mind.

Kristen and I are actually planning to go to the autoshow on Saturday. She has like a work banquet thing downtown that night and I have to Ref some hockey Sunday.

John, I know that doesn't work at all for you, but I'd always be open to going again the following weekend.
