I ordered a carbon center dash panel back in July and it finally arrived, can't wait to install it. I have now driven the car 3500 kms (2174 miles) and it's been mostly smiles all the time. I am chasing down little noises here and there and small leaks, too. The initial biggest noise was a weird frequency coming from the area of the transmission, which I figured was a pinion angle issue. Changing the pinion angle would change the speed that the noise would be at its worst but didn't eliminate the noise. I finally figured out that the engine was angled down towards the back too much (5 degrees) and lifting that up has cured THAT noise. Now there's a different noise because the headers are now right up against the floor as a result of lifting the back of the motor up (GRRR). I can fix this with a little welding and will wait for the winter to tackle that. The McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing has been disappointing, it leaks already so the trans is going to have to come out to fix it, another item that will wait for winter. The axle seals leak and they have been replaced 3 times now so there is a design flaw going on there. It's manageable, though, I just have to wash off the dribble of fluid every time I wash the car. Otherwise I am enjoying owning it and driving it and feel like big man on campus when I drive it around. The car breaks necks and is fun to drive.

Oof
Pulled the exhaust off and removed the transmission so I can replace the throwout bearing. Took only 1.5 hours, helped by the stands I made to raise my Quick-Jack up another foot.
