    No what I believe he is talking about is the resonator chamber that is supposed to help quiet the intake noise, although I noticed no difference with or without it. Only on FI cars.

    Shadow still had one from the catalytic converter to nothing ..... it was plugged at the top ...... I guess from when someone converted it to a EFI from a carb.

    Replaced the radiator & fan in Squig. Now I think I have to replace the sensor in the thermostat housing because the fan stays on all the time!!

    Also took Shadow over to Germantown Muffler and had him replace the whole exhaust from the down pipe to the rear. He removed that pesky catalytic converter and put in a flex pipe.

    Put the rear struts in on Blue the other day. Had to cut out a notch in the round part of the lower end of the strut, cut the bolts on both ends and pulled the middle piece of the bolt out. Then cut the bottom end of the strut off.
    What a pain in the azz!
    New struts are on all around now and ready for some cruisen in Blue.

    Today I installed a new window channel in the right door and a new hood strut in a friends white 92 GL Festiva.
    Charged him a total of $35 including parts. He's coming back next week and I will install a new window
    channel in his left door for $20. I had ordered the channels for him in the February group order.

    The thru bolt goes through the other way around (so you have to remove the pass side wheel to tighten it) a bit of clearance is needed to get the bigger adjusting bolt through the upper mounting bracket and a bigger eye connector for ground. Even the pulley diameter looks the same but has an extra groove...oh yeah I have an aspire motor so its already got a serp belt lol...probably the belts trying to jump in that groove is why its still chirping.

    The probe alt has a different pulley, not sure about mounting points though
