Put my battery in and move the car. Maybe next Tuesday for tags.
The rain tonight and tomorrow should have even the back country roads free of salt.

Happy Easter to all.

Greg - the roads are terrible. The track is best to drive our cars on.

Happy Easter, nice warm day here at 64 but looks like it could rain at any time.

Did work around the house, ran errands, swapped brake pads on the Si for Pitt Race next weekend. Also took the snows off and put the summer tires back on. Have a new set of Hankook RS4s for the Si and they'll go on at some point this week.

S2000 appears to be needing a clutch bleed. Last spring when I got it out of storage, the pedal was low but came back up after pumping it. This year the pedal doesn't seem to be coming up all the way. I'll start with a clutch fluid bleed and if that doesn't work I might have to find time on Jake's calendar - could be a CMC or slave cylinder I'm thinking. Unless the notorious CDV causes clutches to burn out at just about 50K miles.

I have a slave cylinder sitting around if you want to yank the CDV then swap it in.

Thanks Mikey. I’ll let you know once I return from steel city.


I had a helper for the brake job

Ohio to do away with requiring front license plates on cars. I hope NY follows suit
