We enjoyed a wonderful home cooked lasagna dinner made by my wife. We took plenty of breaks, and the girls did more than their share of day drinking considering they lasted until 10:30 pm.

I"m going to do some clean up around the house, which should leave me with just enough energy to post up some more details and pics of the work before I pass out. We are planning to finish up the work tomorrow morning.

Ok, I'll admit that was a $hitty spoiler Here's a real one

I did not make any updates last night... passed out halfway through kitchen cleaning. Going full speed yesterday from 9 am until after midnight was tiring.

Here's a couple of before and after photos of the CSC removal and lever arm install. Also one of the clutch plate, which looks to be in good shape for the 50K miles it has
