More engine bay cleanup, changed my whining tensioner and cam seal(fell apart in my hand when I got it out
), and epically failed at getting the freakin' crank bolt out so still running the old Tbelt for now. 
Contemplating cutting the huge lip off the crank sheave adapter so all future Tbelt jobs not requiring a front main seal are as simple as removing the sheaves and v-belt to get the Tbelt off and on. HATE messing with crank bolts so much. :evil:
Oh, and poly sway bar body bushings. Found out I'd gotten the small ones that just fit in place perfectly, so I ordered the bigger ones so I can do some caster adjustment.

Ive had problems using that flexible rubber tubing as intake piping, the heat from the motor might weaken it. My experience was with a volkswagen, where it would be constantly covered in oil...yours might be fine.Originally posted by freshtiva View PostIts PVC in the middle and fernco fittings on the ends.

Keep the pvc and maybe think about getting a silicone coupler.Last edited by defprun; 05-22-2013, 10:49 AM.1993 Festiva L "Wendy" BP n' stuff

They are 'TuningArt'. Not sure if they are the same as raceland/rokkor. Would have gone with raceland but it shipping them out here jacks up the price. I got them here $369 shippedOriginally posted by Festevil3 View Post

Where you able to put your grills back on? I found a good way to get that little bit of extra room to make mine fit if you are interested check post #46 HEREComment

Yessir grills went on easy. They are a fairly low profile speaker. Just figured the picture would be of more use with the grills off. :-p But, I digress I did look at that post before when I began looking at speakers.Originally posted by Prafeston View PostMike Holmgren
