I would be happy to pay you for the test since I don't think it's fair for you to be doing it for free.

Been crazy busy last summer with my new born son... but still managed to squeeze some track days in. lolz

Will try to come out to a meet or two this summer if the timing works out.

There's a few ways apparently, and I'd like to know what's best if you don't have a hoist
I plan to have my buddy @ Viz Auto House (if he has time...) or CanSaf in Oshawa to install it. It could cost around $300 - $350. The flywheel bolt is crazy big and you need a considerable amount o torque to remove it. From my opinion, its not worth FIY it, as the torque spec on each bolt needs to be spot on.

So much for spring. Nice little winter storm strolling through the next couple days.

Glad i got my clutch pedal reinforcement done today just in time for it. For the record, i was really ready to have a psychiatric break whilst re-installing the assembly. I think it was definately worth it though. Feels solid.

Take care.

Just pulled the car out today. Fired right up, topped up the tire pressure and went for the first drive of the year. Felt good to get the car out again.

Then I saw Mafiaboy when I was on my way home.

Now I just have to change the oil and get all my new parts installed.
