Wish they carried the regular ones on eBay. $4 cheaper from their site, once figure in shipping. Of course have OBO on Ebay though, could probably get cheaper that way.

Scratch that, just found them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-98-Toy...#ht_3431wt_1344

She's back and better than ever!

> Fully rebuilt motor
> New clutch kit
> Resurfaced flywheel
> Cleaned up engine bay
> Brass shift bushings installed (finally)
> Royal Purple full synthetic gear oil (smoothest shifting I've ever experienced in this car)

She drives better than ever and will hopefully give me plenty more years of gas-efficient fun!

Yep, they're Sokie Tech. Such a great mod.

Welp, in other news, looks like my starter felt left out of the part-replacing frenzy and went out today with no warning. Just fantastic...

Here's the pretty much finished product for now until I finishing paying off the bit that I owe for the rebuild. Then it's back to modding!

No, they're just knock-off wheels. I was in the process of rebuilding the motor, so I didn't have much money for better-quality wheels. Eventually, I'll end up with a set of RPF1s or Varrstoen ES wheels. Eventually. But for now, these are plenty wide and not nearly as sunken-in as my old ones were.

I was wanting an Exedy OEM, but no one had one in stock and they were all back-ordered, so I went for a SACHS OEM clutch, instead. I felt like my old clutch still felt totally fine, but after driving on a new clutch and resurfaced flywheel, I can definitely tell the difference.

On another note, 500 miles to go! I put on 200 miles just today. Country roads are fantastic for breaking engines in, I've realized. There's no one around to be bothered by your erratic driving speeds.
