I think yellow one would look great, and it's easy to repaint yellow colour biggrin.gif

wheels that are worth more individually than the blue book value of of the car that you put them on... we might as well be throwing money into burning barrels; as it has the same effect/outcome."

lookin good man! i was in the same boat about red, cuz everyone does have it but it alwayss looks good lol.

as for the black film, its probably just carb residue from the turbo.. my turbo had the same thing as well as inside the manifold.

there really is no way in telling the mileage with out buying a clip but take a look at the top of the timing belt cover, my cover had it written down when the timing belt was last changed and usually shows the miles as well.. mines was like 37k at like 2002.. its going to be in japanese form take a pic and i can help translate the dates for you, thats if its on there lol

Ah thanks for that info Ted, but of course I get that motor that doesn't have it biggrin.gif But, while I was investigating, I took a gander at the timing belt and all involved in that area. Belt looks brand new, and everything else pretty clean, slightly more dirty then my Lady's car with 57k on it. So I can only assume its around that area.

Back to the wiring harness.

I've read the horror threads, the nightmares, and the mess ups of others attempting to do it themselves. I respect the professionals that convert these harnesses for the community, as I know from personal exp its no simple task. Though, I work with wires daily, schematics, and many other fun items quite close to this harness technology. I'm debating on doing it myself.

I've noted the 33' extension of the harness from the LHD to RHD. That is no biggie, easiely accomplished. Changing and matching pins from the connectors should also not be a big issue. I do that nearly monthly on DB25 connectors for satellite automation which are actually smaller and have to be soldered =P - The part I think would get me in a bind is the IC relay, and another relay that is near the rad that I'm not positive I have at the moment. I'm sure I can source a copy relays easy here from work, but I'm not positive on there throws yet.

But then again, it might be another one of those situations where I said "how the hell can someone charge ??? for ???" (This isn't saying the price isn't fair, i'm just cheap if I feel I have the ability) do it myself and see exactly why they charge that much! My clutch was a prime example =P

Edit: I also forgot I do not have my 7a harness to cut up for spare wire for the extension, being I'm still driving it...aaahahhh choices

Lol, I probally read that wrong, or wrote it out wrong. See, I might as well just send it to you =P - I keep looking at it in the back of the cellie right now, and each day I'm leaning more at getting it done.

Edit: Come to think of it, I'll be tangled enough in wires when it comes time to wire up the plc...so I estimate a package your way in Feb. =P

Thanks!

Its not looking so hot right now due to the recent wreck, but I'm debating on what to do with it at the moment.


I've taken measurements on both strut towers, they are equal. So no bending has happened. Everything else looks fine within the tower as well. I mentioned a possible hole, but it is not as serious as I thought. Tiny really, grind out the bad and reinforce, if even needed.

All the damage was done to the lower control arm that supports the strut attached to the suspension crossmember.

As well one tie-rod is bent. Reviewing some documents it would appear it is not such a bad repair after all. None of the mounting points for the suspension crossmember itself appear bent. Just the bushings within the control arm appear torn.

Thinking of taking the funds and repairing it. Need to look into FL salvage laws since I'll eventually have to title it here.
