It's good to occasionally get an instructor in the right seat. They see things that you don't and they correct errors that you've built up over time. - Mark ----- mark@pdc-racing.net Check out my JustRacing homepage at: http://www.justracing.com/homepage/mdadgar

I guess I can see that!! We had someone bring a race car to a school where the passenger seat rocked on its mounts and the seatbelt receptacle had been hastily attached to the seat (not the car body).

When I get home I'll look in my files and?let you know what it cost me.? Since I can't remember, it must not have been too bad ;-) ? The RE shifter is great.? My original shifter was getting to be like a stick in pooh!? Now, the feel is precise?but with no notchiness.? Just a great aftermarket product.?

I may actually bite the bullet on this one now. I've been waiting for the clutch to implode and it's still holding on after 135k miles. The shifter feels like a wooden spoon in a bowl of Jello. So, how's the installation for a moderate DIY'er? Time is the only skill I have plenty of. It took me 4 months to change the timing belt on my track miata. :) Is there a time/cost benefit to doing the clutch and the shift kit at the same time? I'm afraid the clutch R&R is beyond my wrench monkeying skills and then I'd just have to pay the shop to do both. reference: http://www.rogueengineering.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RE&Category_Code=SSK (is there a list discount?) PS: I will buy a hatchback 1 series with any engine they drop in there.

On the street I ran zero clicks compression and one half turn from full soft on rebound with 400 lb springs and it rode just as good as my new Bilsteins with stock springs. Which is a nice plush ride. :-) Rex
