we used to have lots of that, but it's been quiet lately (can't last long would be my guess).

welcome, and my personal suggestion would be to look at the How-To Documents folder, then as time allows cruise thru the personal lockers. There's an amazing amount of stuff in there - then ask questions about what you don't understand. Last tip would be to get the rear wheel bearings done at a shop that uses a Hub Tamer (or similar) tool to R&R the bearings - do a forum search on either Tamer or Bearings - you'll get a lot of hits, very popular subject (and transmissions too).

I was wondering, how many congrats did you get from the members of this club for each SVX you bought? let's say 50 per car, 50X8 = 400 !! LOOOOOOOOOL
