good luck with the vinyl... let us know how it goes!! Also do you have part of a roof rack? Like the roof rack covers?...

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

Rolled it out to the fancy live jazz wine bar restauraunt place last nite so it could hang with all the jags & db7s & range rovers & such. Those alarms get set off by my car as easy as regular car alarms do, lol........

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Curbed my rim last night whilst parallel parking. Only time I've ever had a problem with that s*** and I curb it . At least its pretty even. I'll prolly just touch it up....

On another note, I'm waiting for my corksport to get here. Should be here any minute. Then tonight, it's party time

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Sweet...I ordered my oil pump, so hopefully it will be here sometime next week...

i actually have the whole roof rack assembly, but im still using it on my car lol

i had to take the whole interior apart to take the roof racks off so i could get the vinyl across the whole roof

anyone buying the vinyl, MAKE SURE U DO NOT GET THE PAPER WET
the paper on the back of the vinyl that is, when it gets wet, it rips really easy and sticks to the vinyl

after about 25mins and a punching a hole in my door, im letting the vinyl dry off and trying when its not 110F* outside, its not hard, i just didnt know the paper would do that, almost half of it is soaked lol

At least here in Ohio we don't really need to parrallel park very often. Those cats in NYC tear up their wheels like crazy! Haha

 

[Reitrof]

Temp. gauge has been going bonkers all week. 15 miles into my 20 mile commute is when it starts to creep upwards and up until yesterday I was able to 'control' it by running the heat on 4 and taking backroads where I could take my time and slow down if need be.

I hope you are right when you say *may*. lol Otherwise I'll park it for the week and order everything needed to install the water pump and change the timing belt while I'm at it.

Let us know what you find Jeff. How many miles on the car?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Pretty self explanitory...we locked the key in the car on accident, so no way to get to it until they cut me a new one...just started getting it ready for the new motor, but people have asked for some pics...

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Holy s*** that thing split right down the middle.

On another note, WHOOOT!!

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Nice...is that the 80mm one there was a thread about lately...

The tip is about 80mm but that piping is only 2.4"

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Nah it's the original Power Series. 80mm would be overkill for the setup I'm going with. I got this puppy for 285 shipped from another member and it looks almost brand new. He only ad it on for a couple hundred miles. I also ordered up a J-pipe that came with gaskets so now all i will need is an o2 bung welded into the corksport and I'm set

Does this fit the wagon or will it stick out a bit?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

It's the one made for the wagon so it sits flush.

Let us know what you find Jeff. How many miles on the car?

New t-stat, hoses and rad cap along with fresh coolant are in. Took out the a/c fan to get access to the lower rad hose clamp, otherwise it wasn't happening. lol

Took a bumperless drive to Jiffy Lube to dump the old coolant then to the mall to pick up my baseball glove that just got re-laced.

Pulling into the mall parking lot the temp started rising....wtf? It proceeded to rise and fall on the way home (3 miles one way tops) and when I got home I noticed no leaks anywhere (but did torque the bolts to factory specs for the t-stat as I forgot to earlier doh).

I plan on ordering a coolant temp sensor Monday and trying to decide if I buy everything to do the timing belt as well so I'll have it for next weekend. If it is still overheating I am not driving it this week.

This is the exhaust made for the wagon, it may stick out some though.

And fish do you have aftermarket mounts? I know Corksport now includes their inserts when you buy the exhaust new but in the past they highly recommended you had aftermarket mounts or they would not be responsible for the stockers breaking.

 

[Sveivo]

That's cool about the exhaust. I'm on a tight budget though. Had mine for 4.5 years (not CorkSport). Just some surface pitting that was eliminated with fine sandpaper. (bowdown)

Their hangers are the shiznit though. Make your muffler sit tighter.
