Ryan talked me into rebuilding my A6 instead of taking the chance on a ZC. At least this way it'll still be a USDM block with new gasket kit water pump etc. I'm doing a super-light rebuild...just replacing rings and rod bearings. Will inspect pistons Friday night when we pull the motor.

Did some "spirited driving" last night going up Snowbowl Rd. here in Flagstaff. Felt really good to open the car up for an extended period of time.

I plan on going there in winter with my new CRX. My mom lives in Prescott and I plan on driving up there and skiing what I could only imagine being horrible conditions.

J's flares if you can find them. I know they're pricey, but I've been mocking them up and they'll actually fit nicely. I just need to get off my *** and install them...I'm just scurred to cut up my fenders

Pole Position is a cool fit. You can still get the colored ones for $600 brand new.

Bu they pretty much fit the same in the shoulder area and cushion all the same except on the profi but you can swap those out.

Just got my pedals welded, sonem bracket on, everything set-up to go back in.. but the top of the sonem bracket is hitting the support part above the steering shaft below where the cluster would be.. Am I supposed to just dent it in with a BFH?!?! I havent seen anything about modifying anything.
