tried to post link to the other forum. so nevermind, apparently rotary car club isnt liked here lol.

 

Heckuva list you've got there! Looking forward to a photo or two if you can post 'em up. I agree with you on "learning while lurking." There's a lot to consider before pulling the trigger on any one piece of equipment.

How do you like the ACT six-puck clutch? Did you buy it as a complete kit (throwout bearing, etc.), and does it maintain a nice, firm clutch pedal? It is one of the clutches high on my list.

 

Cool story. Nice car!!!!
