Kansei said:oh hell no, 1500 miles since the last change with fully synthetic oil
I checked and both of my oil drain pan things are full, so I can't change it tonight
gotta find a place that will dispose of my waste oil and NOT hand me back the oil pan covered in cancer causing used motor oil.. I don't have a friggin pickup truck, I have no place to put that s*** except leaving it right in front of your door you bastard Auto Zone idiots.
I pour mine out of the oil pan into milk jugs, then take them the milk jugs. No worries about spillage this way

Which sway bar did you get?
How much and where?
GMalatrasi said:I put these in Wed. I had to paint the A pillars black as well cause no one had a gray that matched to paint the gauge pod. But it turned out fine. Thanks for the help John.

ordered my racing beat catback and AWR motor mounts.. also, installed my injen cai 2 weeks ago.. waiting to tint my windows.. also, im gonna paint my badges when my touch up paint comes in (had to touch up the spoiler in 2 spots, so i figured why not just wait and match the badges to the black mica paint..)
I've begun the process of getting rid of her. There won't be a partout aside from whatever parts are sitting in my garage (N/A parts and original exhaust and crap) after the fact.
sorry guys.
if you have an hour (haha.. but seriously almost a little) read my story:

This bar doesnt get the clunk thing right?
How is the install? any pics?
I'm not sure if this bar gets the clunk or not. I only took it for a short drive last night after I put the bar on. No clunk there but it was a pretty short drive. I didn't even break out the camera. Install was cake. Total time: Probably 2 hours. That is: Half hour trying to break the end link bolts loose. 1 hr 20min waiting for teh FedEx guy to drop it off. 10 min to reinstall. I do have to say, turn in is pretty quick and planted. There is a pretty nice corner up the road from me out in the country. 35 mph sign on it. I took it at about 68 or so and could have given it more. Handles nice.
On a side note, out in the garage right now installing the rotors I got from Josh this morning. Just need some new struts and I am good to go.
P.S. Chris, step back and breathe for a few minutes. If I was you I would try to get the hood taken care of. Aside from that, just drive her man........you got way too much time and money and love into her to just dump her now. It not ever going to be a Riddler award winning show car is it ? Don't worry so much about it. Just enjoy the drives, get thru school and after that, who knows...... But, I think you will regret it if you give up on it now. Just my .02.

had an appointment this morning to have the clear film finally put on my new headlights. (it's too cold outside still to put them on at home, has to be done in a heated shop)
so, we quickly wash off the car (melting snow and dirty roads +1, morrigan -1) and after doing so i notice a LOT of condensation inside the passenger side headlight.
MY BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT THAT HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE CAR FOR 500 KM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The condensation covers the inside of the lens all the way to the high beam light. Luckily I had my camera with me so I could take pictures of the problem, but now I have to wait for the dealershit to call me back on Monday (have to check with a manager grrrr) to see if they'll give me a new one as it's obviously a factory flaw.

Does anyone have a diagram of the fuse box that details which fuses are for what?
