The flipped oil dipstick is done because you get excess pressure from blow by or something, so it causes the dipstick to pop out during spirited driving. So in order to keep the dipstick from popping out, you flip it like in the picture. It works perfectly fine like that and keeps it from popping out.

You have a sympathetic goon (and bank account) here. I spent a couple grand (parts and labor) on clutch jobs when my first slave cylinder failed trying to figure out the problem. Figured out it was the slave (an $80 part) and everything was golden. The best way to do the clutch on the S is how you did it. Put it on a lift, drop the sub frame, and grab every ratchet extension you can find. I have been running an ACT pressure plate and ACT flywheel for 50,000 miles, includes daily driving/track days/autocrosses, at 10 psi and have had ZERO issues with it. Its a bit stiffer than stock, but I'm not a girl, so I don't mind. I have heard really good things about Competition pressure plates as well. Supposedly they are as strong as the ACT with stock pedal feel. The AP1 flywheel is pretty light from factory, so no huge reason to switch, for comparison the AP2 flywheel is like 18 pounds or something like that, hence why I ditched it. Good luck with the ride. If you're ever in Miami let me know.

Speaking of which my A/C just stopped cooling the air, so my turn to do some digging. But I ain't complaining, it's gone through 98,500 miles of year-round Miami driving. It's earned a vacation, lol.

Nodoze posted:You could get a good amount parting that out I think I agree. The frame is hosed, but it looks like everything is still intact behind from the radiator back. There's like a whole foot of space behind that frame support before you get to the engine. Have any pics with the hood open? Those seats alone would go for $700-800 if they are in good condition.
