Tightened the two bolts on the air con compressor bracket. Still trying to figure out the size of the third one. Ordered new Moog Inner tie rods, engine mounts and valve cover gasket. Still looking for a set of 4x100 rims for my front aspire swap.

Everytime I dump in new oil they'll talk the next morning. The more over due, less of the chance of morning chatter..... Sometimes enough collapse it'll miss for 30 seconds. F'it, just a car. Can't win, leave it.

Here are some more pics of the color. I've also tried this spray paint I found at AutoZone for hightemp parts. It's a metallic orange that is pretty closely matched to these wheels I tested the color on the rear center cap on the drivers side which you can kind of see in the photo of mine you linked.
They look a bit brighter in this one. You really probably just need to see them in person...or for the right price I'll ship them to you!
Here is a closer view of the wheels color.

Went through and tightened all the bolts after a few days of driving my rio/aspire swap and got it all tuned in. Love it. Easy to work on and the extra power is nice. The front is stiffer but it feels great. Only wish there was a way to stiffen up the rear damping so I can go with stiffer springs. Need to slow compression down a little.
ALL new bushings and struts front and rear so the car drives like a new one. Now to order my tires this Thursday. Probably go with 175/50's since my 195/45's do a little bit of rubbing on extreme dips. They didn't at all on my other car hmmmmmm Nearly the same overall dia but 20mm narrower.-Bryant

Replaced downstream o2 sensor.
With new one ordered online, after selling old header.
Denso 234-4037
To my suprise it had enough extra length to reach the relocated o2 bung.
Now I just need one extension instead of 2

Sooooo suddenly while driving it yesterday, my right blinker circuit became one with my headlight circuit? Just driving, the rt indicator will be dimly illuminated, and if I turn on the right blinker, the headlight will blink and occasionally the cluster light will flicker/go out.
WTF??
