Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

Been doing a bit of spring cleaning & freshening up things a bit over the winter.   :icon_fU:
 
- New TA front cover & oil pump gears
- replaced rear main seal
-RJC Deep Sump Oil Pan
- TA Performance billet steel gear set with stock style single row timing chain with tensioner
 
Just gotta install some new valve springs before she's ready to roll out in the spring.   :D

at least they won't dust up the wheels like the CF pads!  I would have suggested you spend a $100 and bought some EBC pads...so you probably saved 60$  :D

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
