My driver side rearview mirror is cracked due to a pebble that hit it during transportation. Buuut

I got to install my PG intake and I love the way it sounds! I cant really tell if there is a difference is not due to the weather here in Minot ND. But I didnt install my forge BPV because I dont know what spring and how many washers to put? any suggestions?..

It feels good to have my car again though!


ps.
it sucks to drive around in the snow, especially because I cant find any good snow tires for my car!
 
Yeah putting an intake on this car makes a nice difference! Sorry about your rearview mirror being cracked, hopefully not too costly.. As for your questions wish I could help but I'm sure many others with offer great advice. Oh, and I know how it feels going without the car for a while and finally getting back into it, it's great! We often take it for granted over time.
 
Start with the blue spring, then try one shim, then two shims. I'm running blue with two shims. Most people are running the blue spring with one or two shims.
 
You can replace just the mirror glass, only a few bucks. It's easy to replace: rotate the mirror glass inside the housing until an edge can be grabbed, then pull firmly. The mirror is retained on three balls and it will come loose with a tug. Put the new mirror over the balls and push to engage. Clean off the fingerprints and you are done.

for tires, get a hold of Ken over at PG and he can hook you up with a killer set of winter tires for cheap. Just not sure about shipping
 
Umm, nice avatar? I don't know if anyone told you, but this isn't a same-sex dating site, it's a car forum.

Now on a serious note, sorry about the mirror man. I just noticed the same thing on my driver side mirror the other day. Pissed me off!
 
haha I didnt know what pic to put.

OK thanks for the advice, I was at the shop about to put it on but I didnt know what spring and how many shims to use.. thanks for the input!

Im in the air force.
