I saw the project up close and all I could say is wow, the details are taken care of. Bruce is a great guy and Ricky is a subaru god, I can't wait to see the car when it's tuned.

Bruce,
I checked my endlinks today and they were loose, you were right that's the clunking noise I was hearing and I thought maybe I blew a strut.

So Bruce...this week or next?

(BTW, you gotta catch-can in that package? You'll need one, trust me. My new set-up pushes a lot more oil out the crankcase vent tube than the VF39 did, especially at 1.6 bar. The puffs of smoke really worried me at first, until my mechanic showed me where the oil was originating from.)
