Turns out I blew my third vj14. But in order to swap the manifold and turbo I have to pull the motor because my radiator is massive. So why not through in a whole motor. I "snaked" motor, cable g-series, wiring harness, ecu, int. shaft, and ecu basically everything b6t you could ever ask for, for $300. Walked up on a jackpot and the guy pulled everything.

My old b6t was leaking oil from everywhere. I replaced 2 front main seals this week and couldn't get it to stop. Also replaced cam seals. Still leaking. I think the valve cover I painted was chipped in 2 corners of the cover and it was letting oil by. Oh well not my problem now. Lol

Sonic received a full heart transplant. Here's the kicker's went to start clogged injectors, went to start again fires up starts puking oil (front crank seal, start it again just chugs (dizzy rotor button broke off). So finally after a long day started at 10:30 a.m. Drove it home around 2:30 a.m. She's home safe and sound. Eurotiva has more pics.

I wonder how difficult it would be to wire a relay through the neutral switch so the lights can't be on when in park or neutral (at least on an automatic)... That way the lights won't over heat when left on and not moving to cool them off.

On my '96 Saturn 5-speed the running lights turned off when the ebrake was up... same principle but works on a stickshift. Cause it would get a little crazy in a stickshift if they blinked everytime you hit neutral between shifts! Lol

What was wrong with the old one?

I ain't got no English degree but that's some usefull info right there. Thanks, I'm checking it out.

The ford ranger fog bulbs 893?890?997? i think are a 35 watt. GM has one that fits and its 50-55 watt. I use those in my Dodge srt-4 with upgraded harness and no melting on the oem plastics. Yes i went to school and took English Comp LOL. Yes the ranger and dodge neon fog bulbs are the same.

I would just add a relay. What i did on my car for a while was flip the headlight and fog wires @ fuse box to run the fogs as driving lights when it's dusk but that got old and I think i get better mileage in my head running just one set of lights. My vacuum at idle is actually different, less load on the alternator.

Yeah that's what I was looking for. I didn't buy these bulbs just had it sitting around so threw it in to see what it looks like.

[Nerd Racing]

have you looked into hellas? i put a set in for my dad on his 97 ranger and they didn't melt anything yet.
