Gremlins!!
I decided to forget about posting pictures of the front suspension mainly because of this new development, which, for now, has mysteriously fixed itself.
I had noticed since the autocross that the car would occasionally misfire and lose power during normal driving. Friday before last, on my way home, the problem got much worse and finally, the car just would not stay started anymore. It would krank and start, but would shudder badly and die after about 5 or 6 seconds, as if it were only running on three or so cylinders.
After repeated failed attempts, I gave up and called a tow truck to have her towed home. We were leaving for vacation the following week, so I figured I'd come back and take a look.
However, it was completely fixed and normal when I started the car the next time. No shudder, no misfire, nothing at all. I tried running it until it was warm, tried driving it around, I just could NOT reproduce the problem even once. This is good and bad, good that it's fixed, bad that I don't know when this will re-surface again...
