For anyone wondering, I got there and they didn't let me in. The guy at the gate was SUPER nice about it, but he wasn't allowed to grant me access.

Is there any information on how to visit the test track outside of any scheduled events? I'm going to be over that way in a few months and I'd like to have a look at the facility grounds and the...
Thank you for this!
A little more investigating has shown that the water pump belt is just gone. Which also explains why I was suddenly getting the battery light on the dash, which I thought was...
I didn't know about the wiring trick. Thanks for the heads-up.
I hadn't done any deep investigations into the radiator and such yet. Didn't even think about the water pump. That might make sense.
I'd have been worried otherwise, but it was a local tow. All the interstate driving was brief and in heavy traffic, then all side roads from there. ~15 miles total. Didn't want to keep driving at...
Had it towed. Again. :D

I haven't. I'm goofy in that I like the LAMBDA counter, but the last time I replaced the AD I did actually disassemble the counter and made sure it was lubed up nice and good, then once I had the...
I swear, these cars have some kind of sensor in them that detects when you fix things. As soon as you push in a working part, another working part somewhere else on the car dies. I replaced the door...
Replaced the door struts. This was long overdue, but there was no real point in fixing them until the car was running again. Now that it is, that's done.
My new house doesn't have nearly as awesome a driveway as my last place (I KNOW I KNOW I KEEP MOVING AND IT FUCKING SUCKS). But as soon as COVID gets beaten back some more, absolutely count on me...
Thank you! I gave it a MUCH needed bath, since it's been sitting dormant in the garage for quite a long time. Tomorrow I'm going to do an oil change and at some point soon I need to replace the...
Hey there Ron. It's been a long time. I hope you're well. :)
I do indeed, however it has made very little progress over the years since I've been gone.
I did however finally get my DMC back up and running this week. Needed a new ignition coil. It was so...
That's a little earlier than my time. I bought my car in 2011.
Thanks. To you as well.
Hey Derek! Good to see you too.
Is there a SEDOC-specific DMC FB group I don't know about?
My car hasn't been running for quite a long while, which has undoubtedly contributed to my neglect...
Holy shit. Hi Ron! :)
Been a super long time since I've been here on DMCTalk, and that fact has crossed my mind a few times over the past few weeks. Wanted to log in and drop a post to say hello to all of you fine folks....
Driving on the interstate today, I happened to look down at my speedometer and noticed it was working great. I had the thought, "finally. I have an angle drive that is actually lasting." NOT TWO...
5311 has been having a handful of starting problems as of late. Replaced the ignition booster relay, and now it starts right up.
Not really "today" but within the past couple of weeks. My car spent its first extended period of time at a repair shop, as its current problems were outside of my ability to diagnose and/or fix....
I would be up for this. My car needs to stretch its legs. (And maybe someone can help me figure out the brakes.)
You need to stop spamming our forum with your crap.
This needs to go into the For Sale section.
Thank you to everyone for coming. We had a great turnout!
Everyone should absolutely bring some tools, especially the specialized stuff. I have a lot of tools but A) I'm still trying to get the garage organized so a lot of stuff is MIA, and B) I definitely...
