I think you could definitely pull those rims off

Sucks about the front end. Hopefully you get it figured out asap

Thank you. I plan on making a custom harness. One that is wire tuck compatible. Was planning on going to the junkyard, grabbing a complete harness and then going from there tearing it apart and what not. I have pretty good experience at wiring through work and plenty of wire there so I don't see it being a problem, just had trouble finding information on if you could do it that way.

Well. Did a small tune up today.

Car was bogging a little bit. Every now and then the idle would drop down to about 400 at a stop light or stall altogether if i didn't get the gas in time.

new sparkplugs, bled the coolant system (new radiator about 3 months back..figured it was time to give it a 2nd bleed), One can of seafoam and a very smoky neighborhood.

Idle is dialed back in at about 900. Also swapped my downpipe gasket (between the downpipe and exhaust manifold) because last time I seafoamed had a ton of smoke coming out there. Really quited down my car. All I have left is to fix my rattling test pipe which sounds like ****.

Still havn't heard back from the guy with the JDM front end...might go to LA and see what I can find if he doesn't come out of the rock he his hiding under.

Will be driving my car up to san fran this weekend (about 350 miles one way). Should be a nice ride after my tuneup.

I got my numbers confused. 3.5 hour drive. Not 350 miles....its 210 miles. Bingo.

Girlfriend is headed up from LA to San Luis Obispo. Then I am driving us up to SF to see our mutual friend in an opera. Opera sounds boring, drinking afterwords is the appeal to me.
