Not bad for a noob...tons of pics, and using the car the way it was meant to be used. Welcome my friend!

I noticed the IMS recommendation was for no diy'ers. Of course you have their nifty tool kit, was it as hard or simple as changing oils/spark plugs? or more difficult like clutch jobs?

Really? Theres a reason people do a clutch while they do it, because you're already there. Its one of the hardest jobs on these cars. besides like a headgasket which is quoted at like 23 hours or something ridiculous lol. I think the flat rate quotes 11 hours to do an IMS bearing on those cars. +1 hr to do a clutch and RMS.

Not comprable to doing an oil change/ spark plugs lol. :P

I Thought it was VIR. I'm registered for 3/16 to 3/18 dates this year. Maybe I'll meet you there.

I'll be there with friends, but unfortunately won't be driving this time. Hopefully by mid-summer I'll have budget allocation from my boss at home!

Hope to see you there!
