I hear you Re: plans getting ruined by stuff breaking, it’s very frustrating. I really want some new wheels and a stud conversion, but I have a bad feeling that my car is about to do something obnoxious. No particular reason why, but it hasn’t had any issues in a few months, so I feel like I’m due for something failing.

And if you can’t get a hold of your mech, just hit up Adam on the forums. His pricing is very reasonable, and start to finish he’ll take about 90 minutes assuming the pipes fit well, he’s extremely good on these motors. And he’s just a good dude, I learned a lot in the few times I’ve had my car at his place. As an added bonus, the roads in his neck of the woods are sweet, a nice change of pace from the urban bullshit I deal with on my daily drive from Bethesda to DC and back.
