Sup with the shift VDO light? I would rip that "thing" out by the time i would go to 4th gear... just dont see myself driving with that huge spot light hitting my face when i "should" switch. 3k is my shift point and i know exactly how the car sounds when it is time to switch.  |

well i scored a new p/s pump, the rattles were a mixture between shot motor mounts(threw in some polyurethane mounts) and exhaust heat shields(welded the up). and got a new a/c compressor the other one was locking up.
now just tying to find the best deal on an aluminum radiator. 300bux for a mitsumoto is the best so far.

yeah sorry i was a little bit too critical  yeah rad should be around 300-330$ i had a tiny crack on plastic part where upper hose connected, it was leaking very slow but was still annoying, i replaced in spring for about 320$ i think from Advance Auto. and about yellowed headlights. take them out, wet sand them starting from 1000 grid, then move up till 2000 grid. make sure that all that old yellow plastic is off the headlight so when it is wet it looks clear. when it dries it will look very hazy due to sanding. i applied 2-3 coat of clear coat (you can get a small can from AdvanceAuto for few bucks) and it still looks good. not the same as brand new plastic but it will definetelly change the appearance and performance of the headlights. try it! - Cheers! |

unfortunatly i alreeady did that, turns out the headlights had been leaking into the inside of the housing, these things are pretty tore up. cheapest ive found is 300bux for the pair on ebay. But thanks for that tip!!

You will have 2 options: 'Chrome' or 'Black Diamond'. I'd go with the black diamond. lol
