    E-mail Notification

    I used to get instant e-mail notification if anyone replied to a thread that I had started or posted to, but that doesn't happen any more. I checked in CP Options under the Default Thread Subscription Mode and I do have it set for Instant E-mail Notification. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Ready to put the T5 in Sunny on Monday night and need to buy ATF fluid to put in it. I'm wondering if I should use synthetic fluid or if it's worth the extra cost. Has anyone used synthetic fluid and if so what was your experience? Thanks!

    Crank Pulley / Harmonic Balancer Weight

    Hi! The crank pulley / harmonic balancer that was on my 2.8 when I bought the car was cracked so I bought another one (Thanks Sam!). The original one weighed 4.5 lbs but the new one weighs almost 8 lbs. Does it make any difference? I could lighten it by having the outside groove machined...
