I'm thinking that this is all just a pipe dream, anyway. We just paid off
the last of the credit cards, my wife's car, and bought the SE-R. The Twins
are on the way, and expenses(3 kids in childcare) are going to be high.
I have about $200 left in my "let's get stuff/tools for Mark's car" fund...
at least until I sell my '86 Honda Lxi. Still need to buy a new OEM clutch
cable($50?), ball joints($35 x 2), ES bushings set for the
front/rear($120?). Plus, everything else I want to do with the car will have
to be done within 2 to 3 months. At that point, my wife will be on bed rest
until the Twins decide to join us. Just thinking about watching my 3 yr old
boy wonder, and trying to work on the car at the same time, gives me the
chills....
I do think the air tools are the way to go. Can't even think of what I'd do
with a dremel tool, anyway. Probably be till next spring or summer before I
will have time(cross fingers) to do some subtle changes on the car, i.e.
steel braided brake lines, big brake kit, suspension and whatnot. Not too
interested in chasing much hp... just want the car to rev freely, stop well,
and handle as well as possible. If I had wanted a big hp monster, I would
have purchased a '93 Mustang Lx 5.0 Coupe.
Anyway, I apologize for the long post. I get extremely verbose when I'm
suffering sleep deprivation. So little time, and still so much to do with
the car.
Thanks to everyone for your advice and thoughts,
Later,
Mark
