I went to the junkyard looking for a cheap tire. They didn't have it. I picked up a clippy thing for my rear deck because I lost it when I took it out last time. I also grabbed a plastic piece for under the rear driver's side. It's even beige like the rest of the interior. I took out the rubber hose part between my air box and throttle body to inspect the tears in the perforated bendy section. It was way worse than I thought. I duct taped the thing. If only I could one of those at the junkyard, but I've been for it twice and they're all out.Ben

Now you understand why they are called stealerships. They have cheaper ones for other cars but that's what they charge for that one. I have also gone several times and to several junkyards looking for an already-black passenger side fender to replaced my damaged one so I don't have to have one of another color painted. No luck in a year. Check your yards for me. It has to be in excellent condition because the rest of the car looks great.

Drove it to work, then to a downtown area to hang with wife and freinds, and then home...oh, put another quart of oil in it....it keeps leaking like the Exxon Valdez.This is my BP. There are many like it but this one is mine. My BP is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my BP is useless. Without my BP I am useless. I must drive my BP true. I must drive straighter than my enemy, who is trying to beat me. I must beat him before he beats me.

]Manny I'll keep a lookout for you. I think right now all I've seen is my color at the yards. Lucky me if I had some money! I know all about "stealerships" I took the wife's car to the ford dealer and they quoted me 500 to replace a crash sensor. I did it for free dollars, just had to stick the thing down my pants >
Today I got the front tires replaced, no more donut. I got the 50 dollar cheapies... Drove the thing for the first time since I duct taped it up, MUCH BETTER!!! The thing was awful for the past couple weeks. I really didn't expect so much of a difference. Changed the corner bulbs to orange. Not really what I want but I'm pretty sure it needs to be orange here in MA. anyways, they needed changed the one was on it's last legs. Now that the clouds are clearing up, time to give her a wash!
Edit: Ok here's a couple pics after the orange bulbs went in and the wash. Needs a good waxing for sure. Now I need to start on getting clear tail lights. Gotta show off the bumper sticker though.Last edited by trippingonme; 06-12-2009, 04:55 PM.Ben

On the straight and narrow
I finally got round to doing an alignment on it since the Koni install.
This car is pretty decent underneath for the year so rear toe adjustment was still possible (lol if youve ever tried to line up a car with seized rear adjusters)
This pic is the printout from our rack.
I had to take the left camber plate all the way over to the max
to get it decent.
The car drives much better now.
The jackazz who owned it before me installed drop springs and drove on it long enough without an alignment to PHUCK the tires so i guess i need new skinnies but they are low priority at this time.
When i bought the car ,i went through the receipts and noticed a new RT Rear wheel bearing installed.The Phucking tire is so feathered i dunno how the tech missed it.Makes me wonder how many wheel bearings get sold for bad tires.RANT sorry.Powered by ACME
