He didn't get far ahead (He has light mods: cams, underdrive pulleys,
performance clutch, plug lines / plugs). He never sucked my doors off, my
nose was always on his back wheel - If we would've gone further in the
race I would've been able to I believe get even with him as I was gaining on him
as he got into the higher gears.
I think I've made the conclusion that I'll clean her up, and fix a few
minors on her, and set her up with a For Sale sign, body is in perfect
condition (except for something I did in ignorance, front bumper has very
minimal paint damage [about 2" chip] from losing control in a drift due to
gravel [Damned country roads!]. I bought her for $5488 - updated tags ,
and its got a nice warranty on it still (can get everything fixed for only
$50 deductible).
My question now is, what should I put as the price tag? I am not worried
about making all my money back, I could really care less about that, I
just want a quick seller with 90% or so return on what I spent. So is
$5250 a good price to ask for? [$50 to get everything fixed that is wrong (what
little that is wrong)].
Thanks

Transfer Case Success
Hey Guys - Were it not for the great updates this list provides I would not
have known of the transfer case recall. I just came back from the dealer.
They will be installing a brand new case for me at no charge to me. I need
to return in a week when the part arrives but that does not bother me one bit.
Anyone know how much dealers usually charge for replacing the transfer
case?

Hey all,
just got my new wheel hubs in and want to put in longer studs for a
spacer. Any suggestions for getting the stock studs out/new studs
in?
I'm assuming they'll need to be pressed in/out, just looking for any easy
methods for doing so.
Thanks,
