Get the black talon running good
Part out the silver talon
Get the bike tranny back together
Get down to 3 vehicles + bike (long ways to go!)

9.50 out of the Evo.

No major mechanical issues.

For the Truck, take it to the Baja 1000/500 course if another group goes this summer.

No major mechanical issues. Yeah, about that. This went so well I parted out the car

For the Truck, take it to the Baja 1000/500 course if another group goes this summer. No Baja trip, but, made a couple of other Raptor runs

I haven't run a 10 yet But I still want to get the car out in the cold air.

I screwed up and got DQed PG1 and PG2 was rained out. The car would have been very competitive in stock appearing if the guy behind the wheel hadn't blown it.

I hung out with my car friends more then other years and attended a few car shows with my 63 Mercury meteor

The car was down for 1 week with the hose clamp in the head issue and was repaired for less then $50 otherwise the car was trouble free all summer

Thought about it, but it's going to come down to balancing rolling diameter with the smaller ones up front. Hadn't thought about 17's in the front and 18's in the back though. Hmmm. Either way, it's not going to be cheap.

My goal for 2013 is a reliable DD with no major issues surpassing the 70k mile mark! Stock clutch staying strong would be nice too

Re: Car goals 2013

Fuck winter, fuck cars, gah I have bad thoughts going on in my head right now to be honest!

-Buy Anna a new whip to replace the GLI
-Sell evo
-drive GLI, maybe upgrade to a nice audi next winter.

Otherwise, if the evo is still in my garage come summer, I'd LOVE to finally make a clean pass with the EF4. 11.2 or bust!

Seriously you gotta just put another stock clutch in that thing if it ever lets go. Too impressed.

I still have to address my #3 injector issue, fit a better intercooler, and do ALL of the suspension stuff I have to address, I need at least to do a rear upper ball joint, a tie rod end, and LCA bushings, but I'll probably do the whiteline kit up front as long as I'm in there, and then there's the struts and springs that need to get done. And that's just the BUILD list.

And then there's the whole issue of after over a year still having my band-aid'd "get me by" tune on the car.

And the t-case that's re-fucked because the lash was set wrong needs to be addressed, I don't know how many launches it'll take in its current state, I was worried to death of it last year, risked it, and came out okay, but I don't think I'll be lucky twice.

And then there's the valve stem seals that failed after 16k, so I need to tear off the head and address those, I'll probably have to do guides since that's the most likely cause of failure.

Hopefully the half gallon or so of coolant that straight up disappeared two weeks back was crazyrandomaliens and that's not anything big or major.

Oh, and I'll be on winter tires on the road course if I don't get new summer meats.

So yeah. Goals n shit. Just because it's drivable doesn't mean it's any semblance of being close to ready for what I want to do with it this year.

-drive GLI, maybe upgrade to a nice audi next winter. Complete and Semi-complete! Truck stuff!

Otherwise, if the evo is still in my garage come summer, I'd LOVE to finally make a clean pass with the EF4. 11.2 or bust! FAIL! Could not get the thing to break 11.9 but I had fun doing it.
