Hey guys, since nobody seems to be autocrossing these days, I figured I'd share a bit of my bliss today. Danny from SNS Tuning (the Digifant I gods) was in...

I don't have a clue about the dealer part pricing (Rocky Mountain used to sell the tool). I'm going to get flamed for this but here it goes... Just use an air...

Argh! These spacers/bushings - I think I am missing them or I have the wrong combination. Part of my nightmare with unmentionable tuner... I think it's moot...
... Ahh. Perhaps a 9mm deepwell socket will fit through the 1/2 hole, or maybe chase down a (more $$) 3/4 drive 22mm socket..you should be able to fit a lot...
