    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    Private workshops? Not sure what you mean. But the update is this: The day after I dropped off the car, they told me to come pick it up, because they can't get any of the parts for it. DUH. I told them that. So the insurance company sent me the check instead. I've been spending the past few days...

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    Yep, getting it fixed. I drop the car off on Monday to a repair shop. They told insurance $3200 to fix it, which insurance paid. But I'm sure that they'll be pocketing a chunk of that, because they were quoting pricing on molding parts, etc. that I KNOW they have no intention(or capability) of...

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    So like I said above...That WAS the best the car would ever look, lol. Got rear-ended, just sitting at a stoplight. Luckily, there's no buckling in the quarter panels. Mostly just damage to the bumper and nearly-impossible-to-replace JDM cherry lights. Oh well. Waiting on insurance to give me...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    Yes, As with all my resurrection posts, I will simply state that I do still have the car, and I do plan on finishing it. Actually, a slight bit of progress has been made. I bought a set of BC cams 3 years ago, and after replacing all of the valve stem seals the other day, I decided to actually...

    Engine tripping

    When you say the car feels like it trips over itself, does the check engine light come on for 2 seconds, then turn off? If so, you're hitting boost cut.

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    So, a couple of more recent pictures, I replaced my Mustang reps with some Aodhan wheels that I liked, in a square setup. New tires as well. Also, the body molding trim strips were slightly shrunken and weren't adhering anymore, so I replaced them with a 12mm generic black stripping. I like how...

    How to disable MKIII Anti-Theft Device?

    If you want to semi permanently disable the system, without cutting or removing anything: Open the hood, and look at the latch on the rad support. The will be a black plastic cover, that hides a switch. This switch tells the anti theft system whether the hood is open or not. If you bridge the...

    Project: Git'R driving...a VERY short build

    Been awhile.... FIVE YEARS, roughly. I have FINALLY completed the replacement of ALL dead pic links on the this thread, which happened to be EVERY LAST LINK. I hate photobucket. Went to Postimage. Then THEIR links crashed. Thankfully, SM allows direct hosting now. So... what's new? Last time...
