Eventually....! (JDMST EOMM maybe? hint hint...)

Yes - I'm planning to go. I went to the last one and it was pretty good, hopefully this bigger one will be just as friendly

The exhaust leak should be fixed by then, too. I will be dropping it back in probably Wednesday. We can go for a drive around if you like! Probably best not to be loud at a meet.

She's also due for a service. *sigh* too much money spent lately. But it's all worth it when you get behind the wheel, right?

Update...

Exhaust leak fixed, car sounds much better now, and really freaking awesome when gunning it next to a rock face. The roar (rawr?) on throttle in conjunction with the pops and burble off throttle enhance the driving experience 1000x.

Also...! The car definitely has more go, from a rolling start I pulled ahead of Szemen from 30-100 km/h.

Nah not that much, then again I did miss the start of our little test, but still ended up a bit ahead.

if you know where the piece is, you can either weld it back, or zip tie/cable tie, instead of shelling out $380 for a new one.
