    Not got a clue fella, maybe someone might know?


    Was tidying up the inside of my car and noticed my passenger side carpet was soaked. Took the seat out and ripped the carpet up and noticed my inner sill is shot, big hole and lots of cracks, great. Paid a local car shop £300 last year to do all the sills, bloody cowboys. Going to take the whole carpet out and check the whole floor and sort it all out today, not trusting anyone else to work on my car again unless its 100% something i cant do.

      Finally picked up #4 tonight from the previous owner. #3 is being dropped off this weekend. And I put the down payment on #5 (traded the rally team my 94 Sentra SE-R).

        made an appointment for an alignment (installed new KYB struts and stock height springs) and started blacking out chrome window trim - pics when I'm done

          Before your alignment you should come buy my H&R lowering springs and KYN struts.. they rode great...

          Last weekend was the sad weekend for my BF as she is now parted, scrapped and squashed...

              will a blower motor from a 94 protege plug into the connectors of my car or should i keep searching? also tried to figure out what would be vibrating around 1200 rpm's and it has something to do with the power steering pump, from what i am hearing under the hood. any ideas?

                actually, I was contemplating giving you a shout about that i-mark bumper though . .

                  changed the oil. runs better, waited about 400 miles past 3000, gotta love tempermental b6t's. also narrowed down the vibrating to the power steering pump.

                    Towed the new beast back to the garage... The slave cylinder on the BPT trans failed me. Have a GTR slave unit to install, just couldn't get it installed in the parking lot.

                      i had one blow out while i was trying to sneak outta some girls apt early in the morning. called a friend to bring tools and a jack, and we did a 15 min stealth change in the parking lot.

                          put the jack on the front trans bellhousing, applied pressure, pulled the front tranny mount, replaced slave, bleed and then put mount back in = 15min slave replacement

                            That's what I figured. I was trying to do it without removing the mount since I didn't have a jack with me.
