I will swing by seattle, grab that exhaust, and tow the vette down. Then I can wrap that up and install the bumper and winch on the truck. 2 projects done in one weekend!

The bumper would probably be in the rear window of the hatch on the WRX :lol:

By the time I would swing up to seattle then down I would be putting in about 16 hours and 950 miles just to get there. :lol:

We really should have a west coast meet up. Coop can stop in KC and ride out with Vira and I.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I dont hate that idea. :D Any of you guys heading west on I-80 would be more than welcome to crash at our place. We are probably about 2.5 hours from Chris.

I don't love it, but I think this is as good as it's going to get. It fits, and it gives the coil enough free play based on the very limited Eaton docs I found.

It's all reassembled and back on the ground. I'll test drive it tomorrow.

On a totally unrelated note, I've been wanting to take this picture for a while. The tires alone are over 2 inches taller than the front of my Corvette.
