MikeMan, why do you have to measure your clutch?

I bought it used, with only a few thousand miles on it....and got a damn good deal. I want to measure the thickness of the friction material to make sure its worth putting in still and that it really only has a couple thousand on it, if not....id much rather buy a rebuild kit and reassemble the exedy twin out of my car before sticking it in and finding out 5,000 miles from now it was worn more than advertised.

Wow I am so impressed with Gojo hand cleaner. My Impala Interior was filthy. Gray plastic all full of grease on door handles and stuff. Used Gojo and a soft wiping motions, it looks new again and smells orangy fresh. then a quick spray down with Meguirs interior detailer, and BAM.

Hey everyone,

What's going on? I just got my Evo X in February and thought I should drop in and say Hello! I'm from the Madison and was wondering if there are any owners close to me?

Also I was in Milwaukee today and made my way back with two dozens Krispy Kremes

We're thinking around 42", no gaming, we watch a lot of sports & DVD's. Our budget is limited...I guess that makes LCD more attractive?

Again, any input would be great, thanks!
I recently sold a 42" Samsung LCD that I was pretty happy with. I wanted to do a bigger projector setup downstairs, but the evo took priority, so I'm back to a good old 27incher .

Hey Scratchy, welcome. Were you in the black gsr at the SCCA driving school last month? I know there are at least 4 of us in the Milwaukee area on here. I'm sure there are others too, but I've only seen them in passing. Not sure about Madison though.

I wish the MR came in blue. I can see offering special colors for the more expensive trim level, but I'm surprised they would limit a color to the less expensive trim level.
