lol. that is funny. their pretty hard to find unless u find a totalled protege. good luck with that
My mani is not jet-coated. I get that a lot. It is also rattle canned just like my j and s pipe. The color on the s and j pipe actually have not changed at all. As for the mani it has toned down a little bit but not much. No flaking off or what not.

So i've tried to post a respone about 5 times now. The post will show and when I goto check forums again b/c it says last poster was fish and I think he replied, my post doesn't show. I think something up with the forums, b/c when I get on to click new posts, it says an error and i have to wait example 112865 seconds and then i'll click refresh and it'll say 112860 seconds left. WTF?
Anyways...Try this again. I do not recall the type of paint it was. If I make it out to Autozone I'll check. It was high-temp engine paint.

lol..forum time
Has anyone noticed the position of my weapon-r resevoir in the engine bay? I noticed yesterday that my coolant was low and I'm wondering if the location of the resevoir would have anything to do with it. I wouldn't think that it would matter. I'm going to drive the car around and then let it cooldown and check it again. Water pump and timing belt were just replaced and like I said the compression test looked relatively good with 180 across the board and 190 on cyl 3.

Just ordered some Krank Vents. Seem to be having some oil in my piping.
I'm looking at doing an engine rebuild at this point. Haven't decided in what order I want to do things but it will be somewhere in different sections: Engine, Trans, Cooling. I want to have a setup stong enough to carry a GT28RS and nothing more at this point (Not trying to mock you Sean w/ turbo, lol). I have been on crossover, pg, and corksport looking at items and pricing to fit my budget as I am a poor poor college student. lol ***I will be doing these mods first before acquiring the GT28RS. Once acquiring I will upgrade injectors and fuel pump.
Engine:
Basically going with std sizes. I just want a mild build nothing to crazy for me.
Items will consist of:
Cometic Head Gasket
ARP Head/Main Studs
Clevite 77 Engine Bearings
K1 Technologies Connecting Rods
Wiseco Pistons comes with rings and wrist pins
Gasket set
Trans:
Exedy Stage (1 or 2, havent decided; most likely 1) Clutch Kit
Fidanze Flywheel
MSP Welded LSD
Cooling:
CorkSport Radiator
Samco Rad Hoses; Depending on budget I may just get the OBX from ebay
I'm hoping amajority of these will pop up in the FS section. Bearings of course I will buy new.
I am brainstorming, so if there is anything else I forgot please add suggestions.
