You mean as in Chevy Vega? :-) Gee, I don't know if you should brag about having own any -- although, it's not really your fault -- you didn't design it, did you?

Only good thing I remember was the "Cosworth" engine in a special run of them, right? You didn't happen to own one of them, did you?

Anyway, may I ask your opinion, why change the torx fasteners -- they're less likely to slip (more torque can be applied to them)? If you've already got the socket and bits ("E" and "T", right?) in order to loosen them (to swap), why not keep them? Do they have some disadvantage (other than the need to own a set, which I already had to buy)?

Thanks.
