So excited to take Smurfette to the track this Friday!
But too bad the clutch has started slipping. I may have to defer my registration for next month, I don't want to be stranded 2.5 hours away. More things to fix -_-

I'd expect the wiper cowl to slope water toward the hinges since it has that lip that sits above the cowl cover. I honestly never notice water pooling up back there unless I open a wet hood. Do you guys grease these holes up? or should I be looking at some other contingency? I replaced the sparkplugs, runs smoother now. It looks like the tips of the iridiums got a little melty.

This is my favorite. I was there a few weeks ago.

Oh man.....so for ***** and giggles I got a quote from Priority Mazda on doing a clutch job. Then I asked how much It'd cost for the oil pan to be resealed. Just labor, me providing parts. I just about pooped my pants. I knew I expected to be had, but not by this much
$950 for clutch
$824 for oil pan and re-alignment
I called a performance shop from my Subaru days and booked time to just do the clutch and related hydraulics for $450.
I'm afraid of the oil pan. I have all the parts, but really am so jaded with this kind of work.
