It's hard not to dwell on it while the car sits in the garage..
On a lighter note - I'll probably be picking up a headrest-camera mount for the trips to the track this year. http://www.cruisecam.com/Mount_new.pdf
Let me know if any of you guys want one and I can save you a few $ on shipping. I did email them (since they based in Farmington Hills) and you do have to order online. Product shipped from FL.

Thekinn - I switched to mobil 1 10w30 full synthetic. At first I thought my car was consuming oil. Because at the first oil change I noticed hardly any oil came out (looked like 3 qts). Then I switched to mobil 1 10w30 full syn. and on my second oil change it looked like it was about 1/2 qrt low. I used the mobil 10w30 full syn. on my 3rd change and I havent had any problems since. No burning from what I can tell. I just considered my first oil change where I thought I was low or burning oil a fluke on my part.
I dont know if changing your oil will help, but it seemed to work for me. Im not saying it is the answer, just giving you my experience.

Shipping is $9.95 for 1
$12.90 for 2
$15.85 for 3 headrest mounts..
So with a multiple order, you save $7 per unit shipping by not buying individually. Nothing great, just thought I'd throw it out here.

Good luck with the sale man.
Someone has to be interested.
The parts are worth what you are asking for the car.
Mike K-You still got your test pipes.
A guy that was going to buy mine wants a used set, preferably resonated...
I'll get you his screen name if you still got'em.

Billy - The new rims looks sick. I cant wait to see them. You should let your other rims go to the other forum member in the classifieds and if you get him to split the shipping your still ahead of what you wanted to sell them for.

Hey Craig.
My god man your car is perfect, the top does not need cleaning...
Seriously...are you obsesive compulsive...heheheh
I am waiting for the weather to get a bit better, probably March.
It is just too damn cold to be on the ground working on a car.
I have them though, and they look AWESOME!
