Don't wanna strip the nut - would make life a b* This post has been edited by trdproven**: Jan 26, 2009 - 12:31 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~

I've had to use it more than a few times. lol -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive
