2000. 10. Till Now.

As an interjection to DC Pro stories, let's catch you up, shall we?

2010 started off with (another) bang:

I think NER might rename the first event of every season to "PJ's Speedy Dry Shuffle."

We somehow learned from our mistakes, and instead of going with just a spare, and bolting everything on, there was some engine building going on:

Eagle rods and a fully built bottom end to try to combat the monster known as torque:

Finally painted the engine bay:

Needed MOAR downforce, so splitter to split the air, and because it was looking a little wide around the ass area, we put the car on a high carbonfiber diet:

In the meantime, my old clutch had finally reached the end:

Replaced it with a Stage 1 and a lightweight flywheel:

No Sweetiepies were harmed in the installation of this clutch, but there was one casualty:

Due to stupid OBDII, and stupid sensors, and stupid RI inspection laws, I threw a code and failed inspection. Apparently the sensor likes my old 109-tooth flywheel, and the new 108-tooth one just isn't going to allow me to pass.

And for the record, replacing FWD clutches sucks.
