Not true. The 'box is OK, he just needs the release bearing, plus he's decided to go with a new clutch and flywheel.

I might see if the composite guys at work can resurface the hood or do something. Sush already hooked me up with a new hood and hatch and prolly fenders. I need to find someone who wants to buy a cf hood that is going to paint it fully. Cause the cf underneath is 100%. Just the gelcoat is shot. And when its sanded and painted it would be as good as new..

This has gone off topic to an extent, but it makes for some funny reading.

DUDE I have a 2% lightweight crank pulley that is bent a tad to the left from the belt tensioner progressively failed over the weekend of driving 500 hard miles total. Weird thing though the car was mighty strong when playing with a LS-1 Swapped RX7.
