    Practice. And not getting hung up on the heel and toe part. I usually twist and lean the side of my foot over to the throttle. Just a matter of finding the technique that works best for you.

    I have no problem doing heel n' tow, but I had ridiculously small feet. Car looks great. 'dem wheels, 'dem tires! $40 for a set of Azenis is mad!

    Opened up my glove box annnnnnnddd













    Lots of cool stuff, some not pictured, even a ticket from the original owner in 1995 in there. But I still need to find out what number my BRG is in the series.

    I'm 10 out of 4000! Lowest sequence number I've seen online, pretty neat I guess.

    Indeed! But, I've recently read that the man who was selling plaques died. I didn't want to burden his widow with thoughts of her recently deceased husband, if she even has plaques remaining. Do you know a reliable plaque source or have you ordered from Linda Price?

    Heh, that is cool. You can say your car is a 10.

    But yeah, it's always neat to have an early production number of something. And having one of the 1st 10 is really neat. One of the first ten even sounds good. Doesn't quite work past 10 either. One of the first eleven? Get outta here.

    Did the CAS O-ring, VC gasket, plugs and wires today, as well as painting the VC.

    start


    plugs were all different gaps and in bad shape


    finish


    So that's gratifying. I had a stutter from 1000-2000 rpm under certain conditions, that's fixed now. And, while poking around, I found out I have a Racing Beat front subframe brace!

    I wonder if I have 10 / 3500 Merlot Micas hahaha (Most likely NOT)

    Glad you're updating the car and bringing it back to life!
