I put on new wipers, and looked at used pricing on rear control arms, since mine are apparently bent... __________________

I went to the body shop today to get the Cordoba ti, got to help the owner put my roof spoiler on, never use urethane to install a spoiler if you can help it, that stuff makes a huge mess  I could have just used double-sided tape to put it on but the first body shop I went to years ago sanded where the spoiler attaches to the glass and made it not fit the contour correctly so it would come off with double-sided tape this was the 4th attempt to install it so hopefully it stays on for good  | | | | | 10-09-2011, 02:43 AM | #1714 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
Yesterday: Did various things to prep for autox including swapping wheels. Discovered passenger front wheel bearing was out to lunch. Found the parts and tools locally and had it changed a few hours later. (Fronts are awesomely easy to do!)
Today: Autox __________________ ~Dave~

Don't use trim black , use bumper coater... It makes it look like brand new trim! __________________

210,000 mile (and pre-winter!) service.
• Mann Fuel Filter
• Redline MTL Transmission Fluid. My quick test drive felt about the same as the Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF I had in there. Although one 3-2 downshift felt very smooth; that synchro isn't too great as I usually need to double clutch just perfectly (very rare) to make it fall into gear smoothly. | | | | | 10-12-2011, 11:25 PM | #1725 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
