You guys going this coming Sunday? How about the following Sunday as well?

I'll be out of town this weekend so I'll miss it again, but I really wanna go. How much did you guys wind up spending?

We shot 3 rounds of Skeet at $9.00 a round....About $31.00 plus tax.

of course you have to bring your own shells...3 boxes...can be about $7.00 per box....so $21.00 in shells.

Total = $52.00
Time ( excluding the fixing of my gun !) Long story.....about 1hour.

If we go on the Sporting Clay course....with the golf carts...I think it takes like 3 hours and costs $45.00 without shells.....of which you need 4 boxes....or more.

dont forget $10 a person for the cart... you can walk it but lugging around shells and the gun for that long would kinda suck. academy has shells for $4.99 a box

Reason most people do clutch and flywheel is cost. Same amount of time to replace the clutch and flywheel as just clutch. It's pretty easy with the lift. I can do it in about 3 hrs. A lot of people will say jwt clutch/ flywheel combo. People prefer lightweight flywheels as less rotating mass so more power freed up. They may have chatter though

makes sense, and it is funny that you mention that brand, that is the ones i was looking at already. i also want to replace the throw out bearing with the z-speed one... mine has already been replaced (six weeks after i bought the car - not happy)
