Replaced the charcoal canister that some “mechanic” felt could be repaired with some glue…

Didn't even know that was an option, how much of a weight difference is there? Same options for clutch and pressure plate as the standard dual mass flywheel?

Ok, that's what I thought.

I'll dig them out for you @LinwoodM

Thanks Darrick, appreciated.

If just the tubes, I think I may have a set - I'll check tomorrow when I get to the shop.

I really appreciate it, but I am just now seeing this. I bit the bullet and ordered a whole set of silicone intercooler tubes earlier this evening. Thank you for trying though…

Had the raise the rear coilovers by 5 turns. It's was too low, scrapping the muffler tips on parking stops and a bit too bouncy. Test drive show the rear tires aren't so noisy plus they are old and need replacing. So I'll run it like this for a while until I get new tires then I'll align it again.

Car still up on stands, finally replace/rebuilt the inner front cv boot. Not as easy as I thought it would be but happy it’s done and I’m happy I have a new 700/1000 ft-lb impact wrench 💪🏽.

Car on lift. Replaced/rebuilt the outer CV joint and it was easier that I thought. lol
Now draining the gearbox and front diff. Does anyone know the capacities? I think my manual is wrong.

But the clutch would always work fine with the engine on, even if the accumulator was on its way "out". Until it would really fully fail has been my experience. I jumped the clutch switch long ago as I hated having to engage the clutch pre ignition to start. Since I did, I have never had an accumulator fail, and prior to that had replaced at least 3(?) if my memory serves.
Does the fluid from the failure go into the master cylinder reservoir or overflow into the frunk area in front of the cowl? That stuff sounds like it's pretty harsh on coolant hoses, probably not ideal to get on wiring either.
