I already have bhr coils but they want to ask Mazda if they will aprove then since mine are brand new and when they tested them they like them. Not likely but hopes and dreams

husky makes a decent tool box.

I only buy craftsman perfect balance between **** that falls apart after its first use and **** that will outlive the human race.

but if you bring craftsman into a shop you will be laughed at for the rest of your life.

Good luck.

P.S. Its never to late to work towards your BA and get a job with upward mobility. so your not stuck wrenching on GM's and Hondas all day, making **** money and hating your life. Never ever to late.

law enforcement is my main plan, but i always wanted to open my own shop, so having all the knowlege, plus a business major would be great, because i know plenty of cops that have their own business beside law enforcement

i know then again its like any business if you dont keep up with the advances and changes and continue to go keep yourself up to date thats when you become obsolete, its like medicine theres always new stuff so you have to constantly be training

ya but in this case...it doesnt matter how good you know your stuff...well that is if you plan on selling stuff ppl will ultimately jut buy things wherever they are cheaper...and that is usually online cause they dont abide by the MAP rules
