The recall no longer affects me and I am out a car for a least a week. I have just about had it.

at least you got a new diff. they could have been retard and just "patched it up" again

I think it should read GE performance, aren't the engines made by General Electric.. Those things have crazy power something like 50,000 HP with no mods...

No, there Pratt and Whitney engines on the 767, 757. The 757 produces 40,000 pounds of thrust on each engine. Ivan, thats 80,000 pounds of thrust on takeoff. 3....2....1.....See Ya! Don`t ask me how much HP that is, ask Dan.

Rich,do you think one of those engines will fit in my solstice,now that would be one extreme solstice, would have to stretch the car about 20 feet first.

Rich, I really admire what you do, I was always fascinated with flying and would love to do it someday ,(I'm sure I never will)but I can dream. My friend has a pilot's liscense for small planes and he said you just feel so free up there,it's so different than being a passenger.

It went fine, they took care of the recall, treated us good (Richfly & me). Rich got there an hour after me but was done an hour and a half earlier than me. Obviously my mechanic did not bring his "A" Game. The leak that I noticed before was diagnosed as coming from the vent tube which there is a bulletin. They are ordering the part for me and Rich and we will have to return to have that done. I haven't driven the car since so for now everything is fine I think.
