warwickben is on a distinguished road
the main thing iam worried about doing the job is messing up the shifter area of the car. other then that i dont have a problem doing this stuff my self. heck i pulled my 12a and trans out of my sa and did a clutch job on it my self. part of it is that this is the newest/niceist car i have ever owned.heck i didnt do any thing the last few months just to save up for a down payment.i just dont want to mess it up. iam going to bring it to my uncles shop. i can trust him he mainly works on high end cars from Europe bmw's, lambos, and scca race cars. so i know he wont mess my car up. the only down side is his work is so slow i have to pay full labor cost.

if it wasn't for the fly wheel id be doing the job my self. the crappy thing is if i new how to cut a flywheel i could do it my self since i am a machinist/welder ect ect. and the guy who taught me how to be a machinist has his own shop

the car is a 05 had 46xxx miles on it the day i drove it off the lot, i haven't even put 1000 miles on it since i got the car 3 or so week ago.


sorry about my ramblings. but i figure you guys can under stand whats it like to buy a new car that was a dream car of your a few years ago. with the mind set ill never be able to get one, then you get one and this happens. i know a clutch is no big deal but its pissing me off.


about the lighter fly wheel id love to be able to put one on. heck if i had it i def would just do the job my self but iam kinda broke we just got pay cuts and working 35 hour weeks now till February.
