You are so optimistic man, I love that about you. I am just praying you don't have to buy new housings, apex seals, or anything else major. If so, I may have to be locked in my closet for a SARX time out.

On a side note, I have a pretty bad exhaust leak all of the sudden. I hope the Greddy manifold did not crack.

Hoss, 9K, Houston Thanks for your advice Seriously will consider it.

At this point I want to correct the thousand little pesky things that anoyes me... with the RX. Its actually not the previous owner fault, but some shop replaced the Rad and left a bad fan, Replaced the ALT and srtripped a bolt badly, Then all wire harness had bad grounds or connections. etc etc. Even had the ECU replaced only to have the engine died a couple month after...

Before I pour money on good build I want to get the supporting items straight.

So your guys advice Is always welcomed and appreciated.

Saturday will be a good day for me to see you guys and meet. Just shoot me a pm or text me where and I be there...

need me to bring mechanics clothes I can spin a wrench too some times.... will be fun to exchange thought and what really works and not.

Luis
