I dunno how to describe the difference, other than it's definitely better.

A hammer??? Seriously? Anyway, there is a picture of the assembly on esfourteen's original GB post. Check it out:

Thanks, that'll help when it comes time. And yeah, I didn't have the foresight to tie down the clutch pedal first, so I had to do some very awkward maneuvering down there which necessitated the hammer and wrench. Please don't take that out of context.

One of our instructors today was Thomas. He drove with A.M. in the Continental Tire Series at Leguna Seca in July, so we had something to talk about.

Hey Russ, great meeting you and Karen yesterday. It was our first time down there and Laura and I were really impressed. Jose and Sam were terrific hosts. Some great cars also, including that M6 and that nice Speedster in the back. We are looking forward to getting down there on a regular basis.

Thanks for all the props on the shots and the ZR! Been a long day... off the grid so to speak.

Edge- Nice badge! Sam has been working on that for a long time and I am glad to see it come together.

No ZR action today. She stayed in the garage. Drove the TT to work and had a bit of a rattle at low RPM in first. Drove her right onto the ramps when I got home. Found the heat shield on the starter was banging on the exhaust... Why you ask? Because the starter was so loose I am surprised it worked! Also found a vacuum line off that was causing a major boost leak(I have known for a couple of weeks there was a leak somewhere). I forgot what the car was supposed to feel like!!! Lag is gone.

Awesome! I spoke with Bryan Settle (of ZDayZ) before he left and he is hoping to be back next month and bring the track car. I told him we would try and get a Z group to go for some lunch afterward. It would be awesome if you and Laura could make it.
