Madness was really cool, when is the next get together?

Love those wheels. Did you snag them off eBay? There were some on there I was interested in buying, but they were sold before I had the cash.

Yes, they are Wed brand from Japan. I got them for $100 but the shipping was $115...lol They are 6 X 14 and I converted to studs and nuts. I had to use a 1/4 spacer in the back but the fronts fit fine. I haven't rolled the fender lips out yet, but I'm gonna have to.

Gave it some mello yello.

Got the driver side power lock actuator mounted and wired in the door, will be doing the passenger door and hatch tomorrow, got too cold for me to finish it up today.

^^ that sounds pretty exciting!

Replaced right rear bearings (they ended up looking perfectly fine.. but had it apart and replaced, guess I'll put the old passenger bearings on the driver's when time comes [and it will, very soon :bs:]), checked to see if my brake fluid leak is the wheel cylinder.. no dice. Calipers aren't leaking, brake lines aren't leaking, MC not leaking.. WHAT'S LEFT?!

Left-front tire was about to go, had WalMart slap on a spare used for now. Time to finally get aligned and new tires.. hope I don't need to replace too much to get an alignment.

All this, and now I've got a sound from the back-left. Between a squeak and a grind. I hate my %#%&*@# spindles!

Now to find money for Aspire swap again. Gotta stop spending what little I collect.

Also gave a ride to a friend. He couldn't believe how peppy 'that box-freezer of a car' was. Being an Auto, it really moves. I beat a rusty GrandAm from a light a few days ago.

VV First line in my signature is the absolute truth. It's a project that'll never end, but never die.

I like Mello Yello too.

What does it taste like? I have never seen it before. What store carries it? I like the wheels too. I am not too crazy about the headlights though.

My gutted PS pump has been squeaking over the passed few weeks, it's been driving me nuts but I've been too focused on keeping oil in it, but now it's finally holding its fluids so i finally got time to get the pump changed, although I didn't get a chance to gut the new pump before install so it sounds similar to a SC lol

[bravekozak]

I bought a Festiva power steering pump rebuild kit from NAPA auto parts just down the road.

Think Mountain Dew.

[DriverOne]

Think Mountain Dew.

Sans the bromination.

[navdoc101]

A..mellow Mountian Dew. Sweeter. I think its a Coke product. Must be hard on you livin' in a deprived fourigne country. JK, we really like our northern cousins

Got the actuators for the power locks mounted and tested, but I am having trouble with the hatch locking, it will unlock with no problem, but will only lock if the hatch is open or not fully closed. ???

Only thing I can think of is that the motor isn't powerful enough. I will try disconnection the lock barrel from the rod tomorrow to see if that take enough strain off the actuator to lock the hatch while it is closed. That or douse the latch with WD40.
