But the mech say he takin his time and checkin everything before putting it up. |

computerman,
i outside. pros - car wukkin good so far, and i re-learning to aggressively drive g/b. so i have to learn to shift from 2 - 3 quickly to tke you on the 1320
cons - ron's did the car, while they did get the job done, it's a pity they werent cleaner. my upholstery now has to be cleaned of grease. aslo, they didn't align the car, so that still needs to be done tomorrow. |

I was hoping to get my car back to carry it in early Saturday for alignment. But I might not get it back 'till Saturday afternoon or maybe Monday.  |

damn.
dont sweat it, at least, you should have no unforseen issues when you get back the car.
alignment is relatively minor. cleanliness is a big issue with me, and if you see d state of my seats and trim , i could deal with the cleanup for body / engine bay. but lawd.  |

i have just one green and silver team renesis left from d last set. its all alone.yea computer man d reason why d sport20 man wants to go manual is
1) more power put to the road not lost though a torque convertor,
2) better car control , gearing down, and up
3) a chance of an LSD.
a transmission just does not cut it, activematic or not!
Hot of the press, i getting a ZL-VE engine complete without tranny for $6000. anybody want? Can get d gearbox for it for $1500.00 too |

you can put a Mazda 1800cc BP-ZE from the Miata or a mazda BPT turbo. you looking at turbo? give me a call and we can talk. its RWD not 4wd right? RX engines are dependable, just change oil regularly and maintain it. good cooling.
