/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*The one suggestion that I have made and will stick with is that the new car should remain using existing parts. It killed me making the transition from the 3 to the 4 and I had a few hundred in belts alone. I ended up basicly giving the car away as well as many of the parts just to jump on the MTX4 band wagon. Not really looking forward to a new car just yet I am appreciating the current one so much.
I am not sure about the gear stripping issues either but I am living with them and trying to get around it.
