take the plugs out and put a squirt of oil down each bore, turn it by hand and put the plugs back in hand tight.

I just took the clutch cover off of mine and periodically turned the big flywheel bolt with a ratchet a few revolutions.

Watched the eclipse with my 7 year old nephew and he said 'but what about the places in the world where it's nighttime? They won't have the eclipse.' And us adults didn't know how to actually explain that.

I know. But the concept of the same things happening at different times is just awkward to explain :-D

Yep, rear view mirror every ten seconds as well as a look in it when you change gear, slow down, speed up, approach and obstickle etc. I spent more time looking in mine than on the road lol

No not really, just the basics really, I still have to drop the subframe (reason I drove it out tonight and put it in forwards),finish the welding and check over the subframe, and then get it galvanised like I did with the mini subframes.

I can afford them, but how well do they stop in comparison?

They brake just fine but I'm on drums all round so 'fine' to me would be crap to someone on discs haha. I've locked on A008's in the wet but don't think I've locker the 32's in the wet.
