I made it down to VT ok. Only had one minor issue on the drive (just a little bit south of JMU. I was driving along, then all of a sudden theres a really loud bang/crash sound from the front right wheel area, then a quiter repetative sound of something hitting a tire, or something along those lines. At that point my heart just sank. I slowed down and took the next exit (less then a mile away). I pulled into a gas station, and got out expecting the worst. I take a look and see that about 80% of the plastic fender liner/splash guard was missing. Only the back portion was left on, it had ripped the plastic in half. I guess a little bit of it came loose, then got sucked under the tire, then ripping it off. It sucks because I bought brand new fender liners and splash guards, but the upside is I still have the old one.
In the next few weeks I will probably try to clean up some of the wiring and hoses a little bit, make it nice and clean. I'd really like to borrow a wideband and do a little bit of datalogging. Next engine mod will be an exhaust cutout and jwt cams/springs (when the come out, and when I can afford there 1,000$ + price tag). I'll probably conenctrate on some other areas first though, like another set of springs/ shortened struts, a better lsd, r comps, an oil cooler, and a bigger radiator.
