Mike was on a Skype chat a few weeks ago, and there was a webchat at the same time - He answered a few of my questions.

One was why Edd didn't use more air tools - he said they would screw up the audio.

Post by: Steve Wood on June 09 2011, 09:08:59 AM: Dealer charges close to 3000$ to do a clutch on a WRX. Told my son, you break it, you pay for it. He was not into clutch dumping.

Miatas are very neat little cars that are a blast to drive.

heck, it took me about 75 bolts just to get the downpipe and exhaust off. They are put together very well.

Post by: firebird_1252 on June 09 2011, 06:15:50 PM: my exhaust on the gti was real easy actually.

steve my friend has a r32 (awd 6cyl vw) he told me his front dif is something like 2900 just for the dif.

The "profit" may all be in Ed's labour.

You need to drive one that's set up for SCCA. Those things can fly and I doubt a girl (Donna not included :D ) would drive one. :finga:
