Still not sure if afermarket is worth it. The added holding torque is only needed if the ecu is tunned, and the boy is not sure he wants to do it.
Also aftermarket clutches have a preference for Luk flywheels.
And the audi forums are not very helpfull as they seem to be full of clueless 20 something with no knowledge and contradicting statements.

I've also found it helpful in keeping spark plug boots from fusing to the plugs

Yep.

Need sugestions for a torquewrench brand. Digital prefered. There will be lots of torquing and angle torquing on this job.
Anyone use a torquewrench with an angle indicator? Or is the analog angle indicator the way to go?

It's not digital, but the latest one i have is a K-D from napa. I picked it up since napa will send it out for recalibration and doesn't have a tool truck price tag.

Picked up a bottle of ceramic coating to throw on when it warms up. Gotta do a small paint correction first but should make washing a lot easier... Blackcarlife

I have to do a big paint correction on the roof of my truck. Clearcoat is gone in several spots. I picked up a 2-part pro rattle can once the weather is stable and I have the time to get after it.

Saw this Vintage Lotus Esprit near Dollar Tree.

That's a blast from the 80s. Probably not a Toyota engine.

Looks like a DeLorean.
