All of these in a yard are there for a reason, because the whole vehicle is scrapped. Getting from a yard is probably asking for trouble. The flip side of that statement is that it's typically one part failure that put a car into the junkyard. 99% of the parts are still good! I get your point thoug...

Since almost none of us are going to spend $1000+ on a carbon fiber driveshaft, the option we need to look at is re-purposing a factory carbon driveshaft that we get at the junkyard for $25.

Interesting that Skaggs waited 6 months before going the PM route with spam. I don't believe "he" ever tried to make a post.

Dead now....

Is it best to call to make reservations? So we can ask to be placed by the west parking lot so we can be closest to the party? They don't allocate rooms until a few days prior to the event, so there's nothing to be gained from that perspective. That said, if you have any issues making an on-line re...

As most of us know, the Euro headlights are a little shorter than the North American plastic junk we got. As a result, there's a little filler strip that is used with the Euro lights. Most vendors include those trim pieces with the Euro headlights, but my set did not come with those, so I sourced fr...
