    The bushings are vulcanized to steel outer rings. So even after burning them out the outer rings would need to pressed out. Or carefully slit to release the pressure. But I want to stay away from the torch because I do not want to severely comprise the paint on the beam. But if it comes down to...

    Yeah that damn jack is a beast... Well I'm going to bring the car to work. I'll get those damn bushings out one way or the other. Plus I can just put a strap around the car and lift it up with the crane.... Jokes.

    How to bail on installing parts: First, start a thread asking about jacking points neglecting to mention what you are planning to install so that it will a sumptuous surprise for you fellow forum members. Second, wake up early on a beautiful day and lug your 80 lb floor jack out of the...

    Yeah. Double clutching feels a lot better in the winter.

    I got my car up. Dropped the torsion beam and realized that I cannot put my parts in with the tools I have. So I'll do it at work.

    Well I am going to buy the stock rotors, but I ordered some Hawk HPS pads, and stainless lines, and a dog bone from Goodwin. Thanks for the help guys.

    Short Shifter Install

    I just got back from a quick drive with the new shift plate installed. When I played with it with the car parked it didn't feel like that much of a change, but when I was driving I was shocked at how short the throw was every time I went to grab a gear. It's nice. And from what I read I...

    Jacking points

    I gotta get into that exact spot though. So I guess I'll be jacking the car up by either the torsion beam or the tow point, and then putting my jack stands in the factory jack points. Thanks guys. I knew I could count on this place for a quick answer. And apparently my parts are waiting for...

    I gotta get another pair of caulk blocks so that I'll have four. Is the tow hook centred? I thought it was off to the side, but I may be thinking about the front.

    Short Shifter Install

    I heel toe, and double clutch. And sometimes I mix them up, and do them at the same time. I also started clutchless shifting. So now I mix it up where ever I go. It's fun, and makes me smile all the way to work. But I think double clutching is great in the car. Shifts a buttery smooth when you...

    Short Shifter Install

    Okay, so my order just went through for the short shifter, after being held for a while. I wonder if someone from Corksport will be explaining the fix on here, or maybe just emails to the people who got the "older" style. Either way, I'm excited to get my new parts.

    I hope this product doesn't go the way of the lightened dampened and disappear. I figure that I paid my money, and hope I get the product none-the-less. I can figure out way to make it work.

    Short Shifter Install

    I am one of those customers, and quite frankly you guys can take your time and send me my part when you get all the bugs worked out. It gives me a little more time to get some more parts, Mwah ha ha ha ha.
