Ok so I have a confession (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) . I am not really a DIY kinda guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . For instance I just picked up my car from the good folks at HPH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . I had them do:
1. Koni Yellows front and back
2. 100# rear springs
While they were in there they discovered many "issues" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and recommended lotsa fixe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) s, and at this time I opted to have them:
1. Replace tranny mounts with "sport mounts" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (sounds vaguely sexual)
2. New ball joints (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (definitely sexual)
I am having them do tranny rebuild and a Raby/Brad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) 2056 (I think?) on a core I sent them so I will postphone the other recommendations:
1. braided brake lines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_rolli_1.gif)
2. Tie rod ends
3. Speedo cable replace
4. Tranny seal repair

I understand that these were "comfort" mods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) as opposed to performance mods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) . She rode home from Redwood City to the east bay smooth as buttah and crying for re-power (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif) ! Was happy to write the check to HPH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif) and looking forward to having the motor tranny combo installed SOON and to join y'all on the asphalt at the old Naval Air Station tarmac! Does this make me a bad person (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ? I have a lot of admiration for those who pound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and cajole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) these little cars into shape totally on your own and feel lucky to be able to afford to pay the pros to dress mine up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) !
