omg big daddy on a surf board
Car was not running right and it sounded different. After some research I had found the timing may be off by one tooth. Being I had just replaced the timing belt and water pumps before the engine went in, I guess it was possible. So I adjusted the timing belt, she is 100% better and sounds so good. I guess I got lucky I didn't mess something up.
Anyway, success story!
Just finished installing new lower control arms with new balljoints and bushings, new inner and outer tie rods, trimmed my Liberal Grill slightly to fit the hood latch properly, flat blacked my radiator support, and took her for a spin. Needs an alignment bad but other than that we're good for now, can't wait until I get the new coils
You are lucky that nothing happened,Where was the timing belt off a tooth at?Quote:

Ohh well, just do it next time you have the intake plenum off.
I once heard the iridium plugs werent as good as the ngk R's it takes. When I had my 3g I used the iridiums with no problems. Anyone clear this up for me?
BTW: I remember the Real Royal PITA it was to take that plenum off. Good work soldier.
installed teins, luv the drop lol
Pics or ban lol

My battery is brand new and it is 590CC and i just brought a brand new alternator. Can i install a 2 channel amp to the same battery or will that not be good???? The 4channel is 400/4 and the 2 channel is 150/2

Nothing better to do when the heat index is over 110 degrees :)
