So I've been ******* with the sequential shifter for the RX7 for weeks trying to get it to work when I realized I have a different top loader than I have ever seen. The case and tail housing come back as a 1964 289 Mustang transmission but was rebuilt with a 28sp output shaft like the rest instead of a 25sp. So the tail shaft mount is 2" further back. So I shop monkey designed a new mount to try to get everything lined up right

Brakes fine , still 70% there. Deglazed rotors, cleaned up calipers and lubed slides. Invoice only came to $70, pleasantly surprised it was that cheap.
Wut? An honest mechanic? How can that be?
Brake shops around here would have hit you for 4 calipers, 4 rotors and a fluid flush all for the low, low price of $849. Fn b@$terds. Brake shops and transmission shops have the worst reputations around here.

I know, hard to believe isn't it. I would have expected at least on hours worth of labor and wouldn't have blinked an eye if the bill would have at least been $150.

Go's to show, not all dealers are crooks. I have had good luck at both my nearby Ford and Chevy dealer.

Which incision? I have 5 or 6 small ones. Arthroscopic surgery is great...so they say. My belly looks like (after three of these) I was in a gun fight with a machine gun. And I scar badly, so they don’t go away.

I have three smaller ones and one larger one. The one I felt the most and still do a bit from time to time (the largest one) is about two inches long, several inches below the belly button.

It is amazing what they can do in the confines of such small incisions.

Wow, I wondered how you recovered so quickly. Glad to hear that worked so well for you.

My hernia surgery ('90) left me with two slices over 2" and 5 days to be able to walk normally. However, with the magic of robotics, my '12 prostate was removed with 6 tiny (no stiches) holes and I was walking with no issues in just hours.

I thought it was number 6, right behind the Butterfinger food group, but I've been wrong about a lotta stuff. At least that's what the ex's have said. ........ Wait, I mean all the wives, .... 'er all women.... and a bunch of men too.

Yeah my business is remanufacturing and calibration of volumetric meters. So mostly fuel but also water, food grade(lard, salad oil, sugar) etc.

However that's the old part that doesn't fit, I'll cut a new one as soon as I get some steel stock.

Must be 7th or 8th group. Beer is 5th and I thought Pappys was 6th. Right?
