Yeah, I'd really love to try it but like I said there is no way I see myself finding a ten hour block of time to do this, being in the midst of med school and all. Usually I take a lot longer w/ first-time projects anyway, they end up taking longer than most people b/c I'm meticulous about following directions, and involve unexpected trips to the store or parts counter. I'm going to tackle the new suspension, no way I'm gonna have the time for the clutch. Maybe last year when I had my own spot and was working, but not now...

So yeah, looks like I should stay away from crap mechanics. I know its not a new job per se, but if you get the wrong guy working on it I guess he could mess it up...just heard a rumor about Hondas being particular about using Honda-parts, etc...Guess its down to getting the Honda guy to put in Honda parts or OEM-like parts...

thanks
