no cuz I've had a 240 for just over 5 years and I don't know a fraction of what you guys do.

No offense to those that post questions on the internet, by the way.
yeah, but knowing the thread size and what not is just icing on the cake.
the really impressive stuff is knowing the sub frame dimensions and that write up you did on that other site about suspension set up and all of that craziness.
Its more than just knowing stuff, it is the understanding and figuring out part that is so impressive. Don't get me wrong, I wish I could just recall one fact after another. But that isn't smart, at least not to me. Smart is figuring out the answer and understanding it.
Maybe it is because I haven't ever been in a position to really apply any of that neat stuff, like the optimum control arm length, that when I read about it, it just doesn't click the way it seems to for you guys.
