    Everything RDU 2017

    What's the word on who is going to be at the Cars & Coffee of Morrisville, NC tomorrow?

    I plan to be there, bringing Betty.

    C&C Charlotte was canceled, so I might be heading up to C&C Mooresville. Are you talking about Mooresville, NC or was that not a typo?

    Yeah if you are close to Charlotte, then it might be a bit of a hike. I have been trying to do the Greensboro one also since I keep seeing the same cars at the Wake Forest and Morrisville one.

    That was an interesting Cars and Coffee to say the least.

    I was asking about what roll bar a miata had and found out it was a 91 turbo Miata. And apparently, my NB got some play.

    Noice.

    BTW, anyone from the RDU group that needs a place to stay for MATG, I have an apartment in Robbinsville booked for 4 nights (3rd-7th), PM me for further details if interested.

    So, I think my clutch, or at least the bearings, are going out. Horrible rotational grinding noises when the pedal is held down and released. Also, she needs a new timing belt. Better to pull the motor and trans together, or just the trans?

    As stated before, not sure that I'm keeping her long term, but I can't see anyone paying for her sounding like she does right now.

    Bad throwout bearing, most likely. I prefer to pull the engine and trans in this instance. If you have an engine stand, doing the timing belt service will be a breeze.

    Possibly. I need to start hoarding parts.
