Michael had said he would be willing to fill in the vacancy we have, so I texted him and asked if he'd consider qualifying for next year. He indicated he would. We haven't heard from Dave, yet.

It probably would, but I was thinking of the splash and runoff onto the transmission case or possibly the polished areas of the valve covers.

CLR can etch and stain aluminum. Bead blasting would work if things were off the car. Once clean they could be coated. I don't know how ceramic is applied or cured.

Paul, if you buy it, I'll bring it to you. Johnny Palmer is the owner of the shop. I talked to the woman in the office and she's the one who gave me the price for the club or a member of the club. 770.207.9570

Directors aren't required to make every meeting. Without going back to look at the charter, I think there are only three mandatory board meetings.
Having said that, it is always best that a director attend frequently to be in the loop of things going on.

Good for you for helping her. What year and model Mazda?
Full coverage insurance usually won't pay what's owed on a vehicle, or even what it would cost to buy another just like it for that matter. You pay a premium to insure a car that they value at $3000, but let it get totaled and you might be lucky to get $1000 payout. My insurance will only pay out $300 for either of my Fieros.

If you remember a key word or unique word in the post, that may help as a search method. Anyone who's ever been approved to post will still show up, even if they've been banned or their account deactivated.
I just did a search on a banned member and it pulled up his threads from 2012.

One summer while out of school, I worked with Fortenberry and Sons Builders. I was a carpenter's helper, which involves holding lumber during cutting, fetching lumber, nails and tools. My first day on the job was spent trying to find the lumber stretcher. Every person I went to had sent it on to someone else, so I had to go find that person, only to find that it had passed on to another carpenter. That darned stretcher had made it to every person in the subdivision by the end of the day.
Riding home with my neighbor, who had gotten the job for me, he finally clued me in on what had been happening. Next day, I was of course the laugh of the day, but when I was sent for something, I did some serious thinking if I didn't find it on the first try.

It can be heli-coiled. We actually had one run done with heli-coils. The wrong drill bit was used and it was oversize for tapping, so heli-coils of the right size and thread were installed.

The whole cradle can be dropped without affecting alignment if you loosen the struts at the top of the towers.
Why does the EGR base or adapter need to be replaced?
The short bolt is what holds the metal bar that spare tire in place. One of the bar has a flat head that fits into a slotted bracket. The other end of the bar has a loop. The loop and hold down bolt goes to the passenger side, just below the side of the jack.
