Just pick up a universal one from Autozone or someplace. No sense in spending almost $40.00 more dollars just to have the plug already on it. Both of mine are the universal and work just fine, and the splice connector box that comes with it is really easy to use.Quote:

^^pics times two
it does not look any different from the outside. and I'm not about to take the wheel off to take some pics. All what I care is - it does not rub my tire anymore on bumps.
depressingly I need to do that too...your actually meant to apply a little heat to allow the paint to flex while you're beating it too.
what's the MD part number for that hammer? :lo5l::Clap:
I posted a thread about it in the turbo section, there's a cross reference part # in there for the NGK and Denso o2 sensors. If you don't need either ASAP, you could pick one of them up from ebay for about $15.Quote:

Just did some wire tucking in the engine bay. Pulled the dash to swap in a new heater core.
I'm also eagerly awaiting arrival of an ARC2, Blitz SBC-ID, and some new injectors tomorrow
Thought about flushing the coolant again but it was over 100 in the garage at like noon so that shit wasnt happening
I miss my car... inquired about a very clean vr4 with a blown motor...dood needs to answer my email...fail!
so we were all hanging out at gingerman...

after my brakes faded and came back and faded and came back... this happened. i thought i moneyshifted from 4th into 1st; the car jerked sideways so hard.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...gingerman2.jpg
the rust means it's been broke for awhile, i just finished the job today.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...gingerman3.jpg
well, good thing i brought a spare... OH BOB SAGET i brought a rear rotor.
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...gingerman4.jpg
awesome, I'd give just about anything to be there!
made it hoem to open and smell my new transfercase.
and drove my car wayyy too much.. i'm pretty much ready to buy my dd. i want a 3s, i want something damn cheap, so i'm willing to build it.
i'm pretty sure my clutch chatter is getting worse :{ i need to get this shell now. if anyone knows of a cheap non turbo or turbo shell/ something with a broken tranny.. whatever.. let me know please. i love driving my car, but today was difficult.

I forgot to grab the little side pieces for the center console, I'll get them later today.
Also while i had the whole interior ripped out practically I figured it would be a good time to fix my ebrake without setting anything on fire. So Welded it back into place, and it works amazing. its so nice having a ebrake again. Tested it out to make sure it was adjusted by doing a few 2nd gear E-brake stands haha. Getting new tires soon anyways :)
Holy shit! Thank god no wrek.. :)Quote:

- Loose as fuck K member, I torqued that down the moment I noticed it.
- Loose left hand subframe... I could move it with my hand easily, also fixed immediately. I also tightened the right hand side as a precaution.
- Grinding A/C compressor. I said to hell with it and did an complete A/C delete, I never use it anyways. and hopefully without the condenser my car will run cooler.
- Two loose transmission --> block bolts, I got very angry when I had seen this...
- One loose starter bolt.
- Weeping front oil drain, re-sealed with new pan.
- Cracked oil filter housing, I put a new freshly polished one on, shortly after putting it on I put my relocation/cooler adapter on and broke the threads off into the adapter, it took three hours to cleanly get the threads out.
- Also, just after getting the oil pump on I noticed some "water" sitting in the valley of the oil pump, I thought nothing of it at the time, wiped it off and finished the job for the most part. So, because of my ignorance I now get to take everything off again and put new gaskets onto my water pump.
Long story short, if I find anything else wrong, or if anything else breaks... I'm lighting that car on fire...
Hey me too!!Quote:

I get everything put back together for the start-up and my pyrometer back-light flickers and goes out, great. I continue anyways and struggle to get the car started and stay running. Turns out my fuel system isn't holding pressure. I can't see any leaks at all. I swapped the 550's out for the EVO 560's that were previously installed and worked great...still won't hold pressure. I re-installed the 550's with viton o-rings and was very careful to put everything together...still no pressure.
I try to put only the best parts on this car and make it better (better idle with the 550's than 560's, ARC2 vs. NEO, MBC vs. EBC spool up times, etc etc) and this is what happens.
So all that on top of oil leaks for my valve cover gaskets and power steering leaking i'm just gonna let it die in a fiery crash...
I installed my new autometer phw gauges, and went for a test drive just to find out my digital ac screen went out.
my car has problems too. no 5th or reverse....Tho it was quite angry at the world today...for whatever reason It didn't think traction was necessary. everywhere i went i was squaking and and spinning tires...clutch was actually holding stock power for once...must have had somethign to do with the cooler temps outside. wherever i drove it just felt the need to butt rape my tires. still lots of tread on them tho.
installed new rotors today...traded my heavy duty oil cooler for them since no one wanted to buy it.
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/Photo185.jpg
temporary until I A: get 1G VR4 knuckles, or B: get the right 17\18" rims so i can fit the 1G VR4 Caliper and 13" rotor setup
Did a vacuum reduction and installed my new dejon intake pipes, which I think is one of my favorite mods so far. Also ordered some egr block off plates and a IPS y pipe.
I washed my car today, pulled a bunch of parts, and got it ready to go up for sale.
Drove my car!!!
Cold day in TN for the time of year, low 60's high 50's. car refused to get to operating temp. temp guage read about 3-4 tick marks and wouldn't go any warmer....so preparing it for winter.
Making harness w\ switch for radiator fans
Installing Heater Core hoses (I was freezing my butt off all day in the car)
Adding a thermostat. Will help with the Temp problem.
My Aluminum Radiator works Too good :)
"Tried" to put coolant into mine after changing out the oil pump and fixing the seals on the water pump, only for it to end up on the damn floor. I then proceeded to release the rage of 10,000 suns, slam my hood shut as hard as I could, push the car outside, and list it for $3,000...
Drove the shit out of it in the rain.
Drove it to work like I do every day.......think to myself I must have one of the most reliable 3S's around :lol:
Mines pretty reliable...It has yet to break anything on me or leave me stranded...only problems it has are pre-exsisting conditions...such as dying trans, leaky radiator and a slipping clutch (autozone clutches are shit idk why anyone would think its a good idea) when i got the car, and then cosmetic things.Quote:

I pulled the battery relocation, rest of the 3SX dual pump/dual feed fuel kit, ARC-2, Blitz SBC-iD, all the aftermarket gauge sensors, triple pod, CFDS, and fuel pump hotwire. Just a few things left to finish.
Bought her some parts.
Fixed my no, click click no start problem that's been getting worse for years. Ignition switch was the issue pretty easy to change out. Hooked up my recently acquired apexi ITC. I turned down my timing and turned the boost up to 15psi. Still need to tune it and get it dialed in. Ah no more having to run waste gate on 93 pump. yea 780's are just a bit to big when I'm not on E85.
So you're the one who snagged that! :die::pQuote:

recently installed the 'ebay' leather interior. people in my town used to know my car as 'the fast P.O.S.' but now i get a lot of complements on the condition of my car. honestly i wish i did this mod earlier.
the pic shows some wrinkles which are no longer in the leather. ill get some updated photos eventually. the leather fits really nice and tight and looks OEM.

oh and just as a little side note, the Black Leather matches the 'charcoal' dash and misc interior pieces nicely. it doesnt stand out as black vs gray.
Installed my 3SX clear corners Attachment 3156
