haha, yeah a new motor and clutch are definitely beneficial. let us know wat the shop says because chances are someone on here will know wat to do to fix it, and i'd be more than willing to help out with working on the car. as to the meet, there's a thread in this forum about it and i believe there are about....7 people going? there are more details in the thread but mainly we're going to SVT25's house for a cookout, possibly a drive, and a car show at night. actually, maybe we could meet up beforehand and drive up together
