FYI Anybody driving from MD, especially if you are taking the 895 tunnel through Baltimore, expect to pay nearly 60 bucks in tolls. I wasn't expecting it to be that much. LOL the toll people cleaned me out.

I was just up to see Billman yesterday and everything everyone has said about Billman is spot on. Bllman defines going the extra mile to make a customer happy. I was amazed at the amount of work he did for me in just a day. New clutch, valve adjustment, valve cover gasket, starter, coolant flush, installed Eibach springs, rotors and pads, brake flush, axle nut tsb, iac valve clean up, loose 12v outlet, timing chain tensioner, tire saver toe in(alignment was still perfect thanks to VPSAP1), pully inspection, motor mount inspection, cam wheel bolt inspection, adjusted throttle cable, clutch and e-brake. Along the way he was teaching, giving tips,shortcuts and explaining all about the different things he was working on. The information he provided was invaluable and gave me totally new understanding of our car. Whoever had the car before me did not grease the spline so it was rusted as well as the throw out bearing cover. Billman greased and cleaned rust off of pretty much everything that he saw even if it wasn't part of something that was on the list. He also just happened to have a new throw out bearing cover to replace mine since it had bad wear marks from lack of grease.
I have say the car feels like it's a totally new car. If you can find a way to get up there I highly suggest it. I also suggest you go for a test ride with him too, you'll know what I mean when you do. I have to give credit to VPSAP1 for changing my spark plugs in the parking lot on the way to Skyline last year. Billman said that was the first time he has seen spark plugs torqued correctly out of a 100! Thanks VPSAP1!
One thing I talked to Billman about was getting him to come down to Maryland. We talked about doing something like he did up in PA. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/100...h-1-2-3-18067/ He would come down on a Thursday until that Sunday. I could give him a place to stay but I do not have a garage. I have been trying to figure out how to get garage space. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on getting some space for him to work. I think it would be a great opportunity for the s2ki folks in our area.
