Default My tech day findings

tech day was fun today, but billman did find cracked retainers on my car. i guess the previous owner overrevved. i have put 10 months and 9000 miles on it and have never overrevved. i will be seeing bill in a few weeks to get this fixed. im going to post pics of the cracked retainers and post updates. im glad i caught this early enough....or im glad bill caught this early enough. the cracks arent that bad and bill said i could probably drive another 15-20k miles. thanks for your help bill and ill be seeing you in a few wks. i pmed you to set up a day and time.
