JuniorJoe's 99 progress thread, A slow DD build-up of "Junior" Options

i've been looking for a commuter car for a while. plenty out there, but nothing really caught my eye. then a family friend decided to sell this to me over the weekend. score

it badly needs a new clutch, which i'll be doing in the garage over the next few weekends.

i've been through 2 harmonic balancers in the past two months. fml. that, and the intake pipe is held on with gorilla tape, and i dropped some more cash on a new battery.

also, i'm thinking of doing this mod. a friend of mine did it a while ago with good results:

Installed a catch can this weekend, using a Craftsman inline air filter for a compressor PN:16009. I ran out of hose so I had to use some air compressor hose(orange) i had laying around. The catch can runs from the PCV to the drivers valve cover into the can then clean air is sent to the manifold.
I hate the fact that the auto industry thinks its totally fine to feed oil vapor into the intake manifold, often before the throttle body, creating a total mess of things that should never see any oil.
