^ Good suggestions, although the questions are odd, considering the source...

the car is still ABS..

looking for suggestions, mostly so I don't pick a fluid incompatible with OEM seals etc..

wheel studs I was hoping to avoid standing at the napa warehouse for an hour while someone hunted for an unknown part for unspecified application
^they really hate me for this...
I guess I'll just knock one out of the parts car and put it in my pocket...

Might have something to do with the blue headlamp box aka integration relay no.2 in the drivers side kick panel.

Kick panel might have been a little vague my bad. If I recall correctly (it's been a while) it's further up closer to under the steering column. It's a wallet sized rectangular blue box. You can take it apart and look for any burned up components but the easiest thing to do is put a known good one in and see if it fixes it.

I just use regular Valvoline synthetic brake fluid for my clutch and brake. Its DOT4 I believe and is sold at autozone, etc.

For power steering I use Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and added a Magnefine filter in the return line to the reservoir.

What size line connections for the Magnefine filter? Im replacing my steering rack resevoir and lines soon this is a great Idea.:icon_bigg

I believe it is a 3/8" one for the return line to the reservoir. Make sure you put the filter in the right direction as well. The suction line is 5/8" and was hard for me to find, NAPA was the only one who had it and it was kinda pricey for a hose.

Ok thanks! Got it on ebay for $12.00 and I read that Ill make sure to check 2x haha. I got a NAPA like 3 min away. Rather pay a little extra now so save headaches later forsure!

Cool. All the other parts stores in the area told me they didn't have any that big and NAPA didn't think they did either until they started digging around in the back.

This might be a stupid question so I'll put it here...... When I installed my ID injectors the clips hit the head when pointed straight up so I rotated them 90°will/could that effect the spray?

There is a huge thread already out there and has all there issues documented.

Better off just getting a 57trim ct26. That will get you to 400crank no problem with supporting mods.

yeah found the thread. going through it. anyone actually bought it? as im in 7th page :D

things like turbo upgrades in Latvia costs way to much to get one. even rebuild cost is like 400$+ and gives you a warranty of 2mths.

Hi, Im looking at doing a little killswitch to the ignition lock, should I splice into the black/white wire? And what gauge wire should I use? Thanks in advance.
