The throttle is extremely touchy which will take a while to get use to. Love it otherwise.

Evening everyone!!

Well ... I was feeling better until about 1/2 hour ago. I ended up having to drive to Kato to pick up kids as Katie was running late. The plan was to drop them off at the house, then come home and veg/sleep. I ended up bringing all three home with me so they could go to bed at a reasonable time and Katie could do some work on the house.

It is going to be a NyQuil night. I figure a good night's sleep and I should hopefully be feeling better tomorrow.

'Night all ... I'm off to my date with NyQuil.

We can get that out. Just need to take a lot of bolts off.

Should be able to pick up a used caliper setup off craigslist pretty cheap.

Hey Jake. Glad the Monday schedule is an easy one. Helps ease into the new week.

Don't forget when we are all at Cory's on the 28th.

Welllllllllllll................................... .....it all depends on the clutch side. There is a collar on the inside of the tunnel that you need to get the set screws loose. After that it is all pretty easy. Other than wrestling the track and suspension back in...

I was just reading about doing slides when the windows are small. With a sharp razor knife you can enlarge a window on one side then rotate the track 90* to 180* so the other side isn't right by the other and you will be good to go. Doesn't matter this time but for later it will be nice.

I figured that would be the plan on the slides. Save some time later on.

That's a nice sled Jay. To bad it's winter and the money tree is BARE!!!!
