Been using German Autohouse for minor stuff, so no real experience there.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well it looks like my baby (2000 C2, 85K) has a couple issues. Couple spark plug tubes are leaking, the RMS is sweating a bit, and the clutch is just about gone. Figure do all three at the same time.
Here are the Q's:
1. While they are taking care of the above, is there anything else that they might as well do while they are at it? Both the "must haves" and "would be nice to do" seeing how they are going to be opening her up?
2. Any rec's in the Houston area for a decent shop to do all this? Been using German Autohouse for minor stuff, so no real experience there. Otherwise, I've used Bemmer Prev. Maint. on a BMW and again for minor stuff on this car. Other than that, I got nothin.
Thanks.
Remove and replace the o-rings sealing the tubes at a minimum. Most people just replace the tube while they're at it. Pretty inexpensive parts at about $8 per cylinder including tubes...about $3 for just the o-rings.
You do not need to drop the engine for any of the work that has been listed. To do the RMS, intermediate shaft seal, and clutch just require partially dropping the transmission.
the tubes do not require removal of the headers or muffler either. The process is no more difficult than removing the spark plugs.
and oh yea, get your parts here:

Thanks. I was kinda hoping there was real cool performance stuff I could justify doing while I'm at it.
Seen mixed reviews on the lightweight flywheel, so I think I'm passing on that.
