Doc,

Our plan is that Jon and I are going up to TJ's to install the clutch on Sunday night. We're going to be up there between 5-7... depends on how quick I get outta my hockey game.

Let me know what time and where and I'll swing by to tell you you're doing it wrong. Or you can swing by my house and pick it up. TJ isn't too far from my house.

Read your profile. Nothing like posting on the internet to the whole world that you're hung over!

My office is in Lyndhurst, stop by and say hi! 5533 Mayfield Rd.

texted u TJ's address

I just got some Rotas for daily driving duties (i'm really tired of the stock wheels)

Normal fit - 18x8s.

I'm using those gold Koseis for the autocross, but they're 17x8, but only like 15 lbs

I'll send you links to 17x9s as I come across some that fit. . .

You are free to ask any questions you want here without needing a flame suit. If you need something looked at or can't explain it very well here we can always try and cross paths.

Well I don't drink and I work through happy hour...other then that...great plan. :D

BTW...18mpg is about right I would think for based on where you are living and the time of year. Once spring hits you will notice that it goes up right before they change out the gas and it drops back down. The 25 hwy number is basically 100% highway driving. When I go down to MidOhio for the Indy and Rolex races I will get about 28mpg...when we went to Indy I was in the 32mpg range and that was 100% highway. Don't get me wrong...some things on the car can lower your gas mileage and you might be able to get a little higher...but with the amount of city driving that you are going to have to do to get to a highway yer hurtin...
