Life's been busy, lots of things in motion right now. Cleared some time to prep Parts Bin for the The Missourah Endurah next month by putting the rack back on, installing an 80% diff kit, and a Eurosport brace. Should drive a bit different now and is ready to haul lots of trash!

Aaaaand the roads are flooded out. We'll be shifting into cleanup and recovery mode tomorrow. Gotta help the community that lets us do this stupid stuff for fun.

3d printers are so incredibly helpful with fabricating and building cars these days. Eriks '92 GTI needs some custom intake plumbing for the swap situation he's got going on and he can't weld aluminum to save his life. So he's started with some printed pie cuts to figure out the basic geometry, then the two of us stumbled our way through using Onshape to cad it, and now we're printing the first test fit out of some basic pla before going whole hog with either pa6-cf or pbt-gf.

A whole bunch of situations stacked up against us, leading to us driving the B4DGER out to today's RallyCross. It's my first event of the year, and the first event for this car in like 9 months.

Brought Blueberry and Parts Bin out to this year's North Kansas City Schools Auto Tech car show! Last time we came out for it was with the first rally car 😅

Let's see if we can bring home any cool awards!

(Yes there's pig mat under Parts Bin, he decided to spring a little coolant leak yesterday evening and there was no time to replace the radiator with making last minute repairs to Blueberry 😅)
