Hi fro,

May I ask where did you get your GT3 mk2 bumper?

I saw some of the fibreglass bumpers are sold for 300USD,
Did you get yours on eBay or other place?

It is sunny and +74F today so we took a 200 mile round trip through the Ozark mountains to get some lunch. Had a great time, a great drive, and am now getting ready for +30F and freezing rain in the a.m.

Mike

Bob, you need something a little more resilient than a napkin... Heavy duty shop towel, maybe?
Just a suggestion...

Ha! I do. Came on Friday, used cyber Monday free shipping code & 15% off coupon. The LUK kit has Sachs parts like someone here said it would. Money saved will go towards the IMSB if it needs one or flywheel or both.

Washed it and took my oldest to a lacrosse tourney. Stick fit fine in the trunk.

New motor mount installed. Rubber went bad on the original one.

I drove it 40 miles

For the first time since I replaced my engine mount that was falling apart and my two rear trailing arms I got to drive my car finally. The difference was amazing. The shifting seemed very defined , my fiance noticed the lack of vibration when I took it from 2 K rolling up to 6K and it was smooth as silk....the trailing arms completely fixed the annoying noises coming from the rear of the car on small bumps. Now after the wedding to get the rear wheel bearings done and it will be done for the winter.
