Can't speak as to quality/fit etc. Rogue Engineering supplies one with their lightweight flywheel kit, so maybe Ben would sell you the tool separately. I bet Steve D'G sells one, in which case it would certainly be a good one. Neil 96 M3

#6. Formula1 - from jeff kumler

Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 07:38:14 -0800 (PST) From: jeff kumler <jdkumler@yahoo.com> Subject: Formula1 FYI Speed Channel will be showing the Australian GP live on March 2 @ 10:00PM ET. They are also showing practice and qualifying on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully they will keep this level of commitment for the whole season. I also recommend hitting the Speed Channel web site (www.speedtv.com) and surfing around the F1 area. Most marketing departments will use hit numbers as a measure of interest. They (Speed Channel)also have been having on-line surveys and I've noticed the high hit-rate the F1 questions are getting. That's very encouraging to me, hopefully SpeedTV will notice the level in interest in racing that's not on an oval. Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I need a driver's side front turn signal marker for my race car. Mine popped off at VIR and is now part of the countryside. If you don't want to sell just one, I'll buy the pair and have a spare passenger side. Looking to pick these up cheap and help you make more room in your garage.

It turns out that my VANOS was installed wrong. The sprockets were not turned fully clockwise when my shop installed it. A note to anyone installing their VANOS units, the sprockets have to be turned fully clockwise before installing the VANOS unit.
