Re: Why are people looking for the sawblades?

Re: Suspension refresh
Did a Mini Cooper with poly a few years ago. It squeeked terribly in cold weather thereafter. Maybe
the poly is better now.

Re: SW header install
You do not need a Header Bolt in EVERY threaded hole

Re: Ford Syn Tranny Fluid
some tried Mobil 1 10W30 synthetic in ZFs.
My guess is fluid actually made for manual transmissions
