    Dylan's long and slow buildup [56k hit a deer]

    I bought the car in February 2005 after a 6 month search for any decent condition car. I was so close to owning an FC twice, and then I saw the ad for this 90 turbo 5 speed with 154k on it. Hooray for old lady ownage since 91 and constant documented service. Then I moved back to Oregon in...

    Project, "you aint got this." Stg I, complete.

    call me unedumacated, but what does it do? I know the strut tower bar reduces chassis flex in the suspension, do they other bars just keep the trunk from flexing?

    rut roh, car won't start!

    I pulled apart the intake side to do the coolant bypass hotness today, and now the car won't start. During the operation I unplugged the alternator, coilpacks, ISC, CSI, and TPS, and those are all securely plugged in now. On first crank the tach wouldn't move, so I wiggled the CPS wires...

    Another paint question

    SO the hvlp and all the good paint bits fell through, and I only have enough budget to paint my wheels with rattlecan. BUT, i don't want it to look like rattlecan. I've been doing a 9-day process or painting and sanding, and just tonight I got to put a few coats of clear on one of the wheels...
