The Civic is fixed... I think!

The Civic is ready to be tested on track

Pat and I changed the oil pan on the Civic Thursday and he installed the Accusump on Friday. I picked up the car from Pat's on Thanksgiving Monday and all seems well so far. There is no way to know if the oil leak or the oil starvation problems are really solved until I try the car on track. I decided not to go to Mosport with zero testing, hoping to go to ICAR lapping on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it rained all day. The race school at Calabogie this coming weekend has been cancelled because of the pandemic (makes sense). This leaves my with a track car, but few choices of events before the season ends. 

Luckily, the small track near the country house, at Ste-Croix, is hosting a track day this weekend. If the weather looks promising, I will attend. The last time I drove that track was when I had my Dodge Neon, so about 20 years ago. Not only have I found videos of a lap (it's a simple layout), I even found the file to play it on Assetto Corsa... pretty cool. I can't wait to try the car on track. If all is well, I will be able to put the car away for winter in track-ready condition, which almost never happens. 

Pat and his dad were going to work on this Saab, one of the last 9-5's. Sadly, it has rust issues, like previous Saabs.

Nice paint and wheels on this Boxster

Leaves on the car mean the season is almost over...
