Boo for pollen. Thankfully my car has been in the garage the last 10 days during our trip.

Yeah, the car already definitely looks pretty bad and it's only been outside today and at work it's not even completely outside. We've got a parking garage but it still lets plenty of pollen in. It doesn't help that it's a black car.

Yea, my car is back from Racewerks; fixed, realigned and ready to go. I do need to check on some clunking from the passenger rear but that shouldn't be and issue.

No don't think so (better not be). The rear is clunky over bumps in the road, common with Motons. There is a little procedure you can do to get rid of it, at least for a while. I'm going to do that and check that my suspension is tight. The shop said everything sounded good as the clunk is to be expected.

I really really really need to get to an autocross or something soon so I can get these forced induction street only car thoughts out of my head.

I've been reading a lot of STR stuff lately and I think it's gotten me to shake that forced induction bug. Autocross is something that I actually will have the time and money for as well so I'll be working towards getting to be a better driver this year.

I still wouldn't mind having a fresh start with a clean slate.

Alright, you had me scared for a minute but everything is fine. I was told if I have excessive clunking that I need to set everything to full soft and drive the car 15 or 20 minutes. Doing this will allow the gas to go back to where its is supposed to be and the clunking will go away. The gas can move around if the shocks are laid flat during install or shipping. It seems to have worked because as I drove the suspension (especially the passenger rear) got quieter and quieter. Nice. This process may need to be repeated on occasion.
