Glass cleaner, 1 qt of oil, extinguisher. Not an ounce more.

^Thats not really accurate, it should rise 1:1 with manifold pressure.

You spent $1000 on snow tires? What a ripoff.

7 Years, daily driven, 1st and only car to date.

Well, jj is right, that most recent car you bought is a POS and one of the more blatant ones at that. Adding to that is the fact that you seem unaware of what a heap of junk it is and how much you overpaid for it is what brings on his comments. These threads talking about 500HP and now this are...

IIRC align boring the cam journals is also critical after you machine a head like that. What you end up with is a banana shaped cam journal alignment with a flat bottom if you don't.

Many of you haven't seen what this car looks like, have you. If you had you'd realize why Ian and Duane are having a completely unrelated conversation within this thread.

Never mind, thats a much louder squeakier sound than what I thought you were describing.

That link doesn't go anywhere useful. It's not uncommon for less expensive calipers/brake systems to creak some when pedal pressure is applied.

This is incorrect, the sensor is on the hot side of the thermostat and rises slowly with engine temp before the thermostat opens. Agree with jj, sounds like a fan clutch issue. I was very happy with how much better mine was performing after I replaced the 22 year old original. Also could be a...

Will probably be easier with the engine running (or, only one pump on the pedal) so that the booster is working and giving you maximum line pressure. No need to be wimpy on the pedal either, remember when you really need to stop you're putting a tremendous amount of pressure on it.

It'll probably be another 1000 bucks before that thing is even reasonably put back together, and thats basing it off of only what I can see in that picture. Who knows how badly that "rebuild" was done inside.

G isn't anywhere near J...

Cold start injector doesn't fire unless the ECU gets the start signal... which doesn't happen (or at least isn't acknowledged) unless the clutch switch is working as well.

Wow, thats a pretty amazing failure rate. I've yet to encounter a single one. LOL

You'll know when you need to replace it with something bigger.

1cm is a huge hole... not a small hole. I'd scrap the rad if I were in that situation.

Arent they sealed in sort of a vacuum plastic wrapper in the box so they can't bang around like that? IIRC my Spec version was.

Its very easy to drive in the snow with a set of 205 snow tires, being rwd and turbo is no more of a disadvantage than being a slow fwd turd. I've driven through snow deeper than the ground clearance of the car on multiple occasions, only ever getting stuck in a parking lot once. Proper...

Sorry, but that is just a bunch of BS. Unless you're a professional body builder, turning at all while rolling <5MPH is damn near impossible. Not to mention the massive stress you're putting through the steering column that was probably only meant to take it on rare occasions. I'd also bet you...
