    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    1st gen PGT's supposedly aren't able to run AFC's because of some f*cked up wiring. Is there any way I could rewire this, or get a MAS out of a different Mazda like a old 7 or something. Any help is appreciated. also, got the clutch on order, should be here in a week. Is 325 too much to pay? ACT 2100 w/ kevlar-faced Street Disc P/N ZD6400.

Go under the dash and look where the rubber boot is and see if its been leaking over time. clutch need adjusting? http://www.taboospeedshop.com/DPCS.htm longer slave rod for act 2600 http://www.taboospeedshop.com/SCR.htm If you have any questions feel free to call the shop and ask for me Kevin sls yeah Ill check it out.

Kevin let me know when you have time and ill bring it over so you can fuck with it.

    Yeah you can anodize wheels no problem. Shouldn't have any problems mounting tires unless you got some retard doing them which in that cause it doesn't matter whats on them their gonna mess it up. Only kicker on doing wheels is if you want them to look completly perfect w/ no grain of the alum behind them is they basically need to be polished before hand because anyt defect will show. But if you dont mind the grain of the aluminum then leave them as is.

    SCP is a complete joke they offered to sponsor my car and as i learned more about them their "sponsored car" prices are like 15 dollars less then say tintmasters and that is not even shipped, and SCP wants to call the shop you are getting the items installed at and they wanna talk to the owner of the shop and see if they will lower hourly rates just for you, also they say they big name products, but they are all imitations, a buddy of mine wanted the bomex for his civic because they advertise they carry bomex, well they carry the VIS imitation of the bomex kit they say bomex is a little out of their league so they really can only get a bunch of crappy items also they can drop you at anytime they want to without a good legit reason and all the discounts you got get charged to the card in which you must give a number of. all in all it is a big joke.

Gotta base it off the car and what room you have to work w/. 75% of that i do on a daily basis is welding.
