    not to mention its for a 7M and his profile says 1J, but maybe the OP was looking at it for something else?

    lowering springs

    yuck, H&R are the worst choice imho. If you want a semi soft ride for mom forget it. I also do not like the rake that H&R's give. Not low enough in the back and too low in the front. My ST's were a perfect compromise between drop and ride, and they are cheap too. /.02

    orange cage looking light keeps going on ?? on the far left side

    I always thought it looked like a big fancy bank building...and I thought maybe it meant I needed to insert more money...it turned out that wasnt far from the truth. :sarcasm:

    Facime's Mk2 build

    hmm pedals? lines? I mean I would doa new clutch/hydraulics etc, but the "hard parts" might end up being helpful. I was planning on hitting Tanya up for parts resources as well :naughty: Edit: my budget just went up to $2k

    orange cage looking light keeps going on ?? on the far left side

    Ive had the sensor in the tank get stuck at the bottom after it was left dry for a period of time. Tap on the bottle and see if that makes the light go off. I had to actually remove my bottle then shake it and that loosened up the sensor. Its just a float basically. btw, adding coolant to your...

    Facime's Mk2 build

    Im thinking if it hasnt blown in 200+k miles its not going anytime soon. Head gasket replacent on the 5M isnt that hard to do either. remember, the ultimate goal is a 1JZ swap down the road.

    Facime's Mk2 build

    I got some better quality pics on the second one (blue/blue), and the car overall looks to be in very serviceable condition. Has the typical minor rust in the hatch area and the cloth is faded but not overly worn. It maintains its position at second on my list. Oh and the asking price on it is...

    Facime's Mk2 build

    Yeah Tanya, two weeks ago I had my jeep sold but chickened out and held onto it because at the time there was NOTHING available. Now just two weeks later there are several cars in the price range that look drivable. Im not in a HUGE hurry but I am replacing my DD here so I cant take forever to...

    The restoration proceeds. Body advice please.

    wow, you dont mess around. You dont know how many times I see people come in here and SAY they are going to "do this and do that and Im gonna paint it"...but you actually do. The paint is hard to tell from those pics but looks good to me. How well did they do the color change? Door...

    Clutch 6puck on ebay

    looks like a repainted XTD to me. Looks cheap, probably acts cheap. As mentioned it depends on your power goals/needs. I wouldnt use that clutch in anything more than stock or minor upgrade situations. I really HATE doing clutches, and refuse to do them twice.

    Strep throat remedies?

    I know how you feel. When I was kid I used to think that all the pain I felt at the dentist was just normal and thats the way it was...until I found out that Im particularly resistant to pain killers in certain families. I was switched to a different anesthetic and walla! I could stand the...

    My car is a POS whats wrong with it?

    From my recollection you cant just "pull the box" on the anti-theft, you have to splice a wire or two. I forget exactly the process but Im sure its been talked about on here a dozen or more times.
