The new CV went in with about an hour’s labor. After that, a quick trip to the courthouse resulted in a passed inspection with no need to bring out a tow truck. The idle was a little rough, but once some throttle is applied, the car pulled very strong.
The first Rally cross of the year for WOR was May 5th and, primarily due to the mud tires, the car took first in class, second overall. Not only did it run great for all 11 of my runs, Tim ran four of his runs in the car too. The exhaust fell off, but the car was driven back on to the trailer.
All in all, it looks like the gremlins are finally worked out.
