Or when something extreme does happen, talk to Ken at ProtegeGarage and pick up a used engine for under 1k. Or you could go with forged internals (evil)
well i brought my own bucket and soap, and my own wash mitt, so i mostly was there just to use the water, cause we're in a drought right now
Oh, OK. I went to one of the spray wand ones that apparently recycles the water (didn't know at the time). Lots of suds came out but the car was still filthy at the end of it. I guess the ads of a $1 car wash were just too good to be true.

Drove her today. Bad choice. There is something in the number 4 cylinder and it was rattling around. I say "was" because it quickly stopped and now it sounds like there is a massive hole in the cylinder. Won't even stay running. Hope my warrenty covers it.

Yeah, the water they recycle is typically "hard" and has a lot of mineral deposits...You have to use the wand to wet and rinse, and a bucket/washmitt combination to actually wash the car..Then you have to dry the car to prevent very bad water spots...Well, that's my process...
screw from the butterfly?

That's what i am thinking. Sad thing is I was talking about removing the VTCS on thurs.
i believe you can drive on it, however dont take any hard corners.
btw, its going to be hard to find that exact nut at lowes/ace/home depot. you want a certain grade of metal (8 i think). i say go oem and just get a replacement endlink. chances are you damaged the endlink trying to get it off (i know i think i did)
i went to every supply store and couldnt find the right threads for the endlink anywhere. some were to thick, some to thin. it was a real b****. i ended up using one that kinda fit, but i know the thread pattern is off.
so the threading is impossible to find? i dont really want to buy a new endlink, already spending too much for struts and springs. do i need to tie the endlink to something while its disconnected so it doesnt move around and rotate or will the nut on the bottom keep it still
im not exactly sure if you can drive on it... someone else will have to clarify. but i believe i read somewhere its driveable as long as you don take any hard corners.
yeah i hada really hard time trying to find the right threading. it was such a pain the ass. i didnt even end up finding the right one...

I haven't been running a swaybar for like a year because I am missing nuts and bolts and I really don't want to go around looking for the right ones
basically stage 1 weight redux =P
yea...i'm definately putting it back on. i'm afraid to take it off now without knowing if i will be able to put it back on.
