Re: That V8 tho...
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!

Re: That V8 tho...
Com one over we can pull the engine out of the WRX
I wouldn't understand half of it but I'd be intrigued by it.
not sure I have that much room in the garage with a non running WRX in the way lolDuck Vader wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 9:36 pm 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!

Re: That V8 tho...
The bumper would probably be in the rear window of the hatch on the WRX

Re: That V8 tho...
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.

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.

Northern Cali area would be great I think. Halfway between reno Steve, Chris, dirty Steve, Ryan, and myself.

Re: That V8 tho...
Nah, i think they meant nearby to you in Nor Cal.
Imagine how fast we could get that Subi fixed.

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.
