Hello everyone, I'm stoked about being the 2nd owner of this ride...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-AU...QQcmdZViewItem
& a member of your forum. These are the only pictures I have as of now. I work on a deep water drilling rig now & I'm
an ex-BMW mech.(for 5+ yrs). All I can say is this is truly an incredible ride & I'm so glad I bought it...but THE FRIGGIN
CLUTCH JUST WENT OUT! & man I know its gonna be quite a mother as far as clutches go. Good thing I kept all my tools...now
if I could just find a car lift! I know this welcome section isn't for tech. queries so I leave it alone here. Still glad I bought it
am glad to be a member.

RE: Noob
Welcome to the forums! Glad to hear that you are happy with your ride. Only thing I noticed right off the bat that needed to be replaced was your shift ****. That thing is really worn out... Sounds like you got a good price on it, and it's fully loaded, NICE!

RE: Noob
Thanks KM & BLA ... very nice wheels your back to both of you. Yes, the shift **** will be replaced, but it really looks much worse in the pics...go figure. Itll have to wait till the after the clutch job though. I was hoping to find a place(lift) I could rent for the day but have had no luck. I guess it will have to wait till I come back from offshore(14 days). Man, I am REALLY bummed out...rolling around in a 91' Corolla now [sm=smiley19.gif].

RE: Noob
They don't. The GT2X has a lot more power. The tuning for is extremely rich and I'm kinda disappointed with the power. My new exhaust was black after a month. I have a GT2871R sitting on my dining room table with the supporting parts in the garage. Can't wait to put that in.
