They are gonna do the soundproofing, tranny fluid, replace some hoses and filters and spark plugs, tighten up or replace some brackets.
The only surprise item was a torn axle boot.
The car is running too rich and they are going to do a complete air/fuel analysis.
Jeff said the car looks to be in really good shape for the age, no damage or major rusting or anything.
The estimate is $2700. WTF? That's a lot for a service. I don't think I'll be telling my wife.

I'm just north west of Richmond and I'd enjoy meeting another local enthusiast and also take a look at your car. I'll be working on my RSR clone this weekend if you want to come by. We can put your car up on the lift if you want to get a closer look at the 'business' side.
Also, please let us know how it goes with Delta-V. I've been meaning to stop by there to get some appointments lined up to corner balance a few cars.

Also, engine soundproofing foam is deteriorated and falling apart. I want to just rip it out. Again, how much noise will it add to the ride, and will it be annoying noise or just nice soothing loud engine rpm sort of noise along the lines of less restrictive exhaust? Does the soundproofing serve any other purpose, like making a big difference in the level of heat in the car or anything like that?
Thanks!

The Wevo mounts and lack of sound pad do add some NVH to the cabin but I consider it to be good NVH! MMMM...flat six soundtrack!
