Is it good to just spray engine degreaser all over and just let it sit? I thought this was more for cleaning individual parts. U are brave sir!

I watched a few videos and reviews. Its a gentile cleaner. I rinsed well, let it dry well and then took it for a drive for a final dry.

Only issue is my throw out bearing went at 101k or so and I had the entire clutch replaced. Still on original brake pads.

Yes, lots of miles in a short time, I drive 100 miles a day just for work. This car treats me really well, I've been doing mobil 1 0w20 w/ oem filter oil changes at 6k-7k intervals. Replaced brake and trans/diff fluid twice.

Nice! I have one without the etching in the same color. You'll love the look and feel of it.

You're just adding weight to your car, it may upset your car's handling..

Two fit perfect, one was slightly loose...dunno if it's my knob or the cover, but I just looped a strip of thin foam inside the ring and slid it on

Been driving it a lot in track mode. Even then, even with the crappy stock tires, it's really hard to break traction. I really like this car.
