    If you could drop it off with Tony or Ray at the Business 121 car lot, I'd appreciate it. :)

    Eye opening experience tonight

    I check in every once in a while to see how she's doing. :) If you happen to have my wood shift knob gathering dust, let me know! Glad you survived.

    DFW Meet March 15th!

    Well, actually we only had about 40 cars show, and maybe only 10 interesting cars from that. THEN the cops ran us off after dinner ... sheesh. I only stayed for an hour.

    DFW Meet March 15th!

    Theres a multi-make-and-model sport compact meet coming up if anyone wants to help make a good Protege presence. Ive been to these before and its a lot of friendly fun and good, reasonably priced food too. The restaurant lets us angle-park our cars for display and is really cool about it...

    regular, midgrade, or premium?

    I use 87 (manual RECOMMENDS premium but not necessary) because I'm cheap. I up premium on special occasions. No problems. It's not the fastest straight-line car in the world anyway, I got it for the handling. 87 gas here in Dallas is $1.55-1.60 last time I filled up. I use the CRX a lot now...

    Installed short shifter: my elbow hurts!

    Actually reading over the online reviews here from people who have tried both side by side, the TWM and Kartboy shifters have about the same effort, so that probably ain't it. :D But thanks for the tech insight! I think the big problem is going back and forth between the CRX and MP3 ... the CRX...

    Installed short shifter: my elbow hurts!

    Update on original thread OK, popped off the snap ring (which gets easier once you've done it a few times) pulled her up and coated it like crazy with white lithium grease. Originally I gave it a medium coat with dielectical grease (it's what was lying around). It's a little better, but I'll...
