I was hoping I might run into y'all there.
But I'm going to tell you how much of a poser I am... I trailered the car down !
Everything is so fresh and not really proven yet, and I don't have as big of balls as Alexdgr8 and Sam stone to just throw the car together and roll out. But I had the wife and baby with me too so It made sense. Was about 23 hrs to and from . Third time I've done this trip in the last 2 years and the scenery was the best this time due to the fall colors.
The car did good. I think I put at least 100 miles on it in the desert including the climb up to the summit of Mt Charleston. Only casualty I've seen was the tensioner bolt for my PS pump Came loose - but due to me running such a short belt It didn't make any difference.
Now that I'm home I need to work on some more stuff. The following and probably a lot more:
Swap tires
Remove starter and increase the size of the reference pin / troubleshoot trigger issue
Find out why the windshield wipers don't work
and I need to check out the carbon canister deal and fuel tank, it smells like fuel fumes constantly but no leaks
*potential 01E swap??
