Car has 99,3## miles. Had a new clutch put in.

Porous Bovine! the pedal is stiff. Having to relearn how to drive my car is interesting, since it engages right off the floor. Stalled it first time I tried to go forward.

Also, having to drive like an old lady for 500 miles totally sucks.

On the plus side, they were able to install a couple of the poly bushings from the whole-car kit I have, which cleaned up some of the slop I felt on turn-in for a while and they also removed a broken cat-heat-shield bracket which was rattling like crazy on start-up and at 4k.

Did you stay with the dual-mass flywheel or go to a normal one?

this may be a typo but did you say that you have 993,000 miles on the car

Wondering the same thing. What sort of gypsy magic did you use to get this car to 993k?

Your car is too clean. [Kidding.]

nice SVTF, love the sonic blue!

You need to find some EAP wheels and projectors!

I know.

I really want some Mach/HID headlights. The EAP wheels I'm not sold on completely. I kind of like the stock 5-spokes. I may look for the 04 6-spokes since they are a little stronger.

Actually, that picture is from April or this spring. It's far from clean at the moment sadly.
