Yeah, I havent gotten a good look on the underside yet...definitely going to try and check it out tomorrow.

Anyways, a new shift knob is a must...any suggestions by any chance? I was just thinking of getting one of those nismo ones. Can't really think of anything else though.
Well my old s13 had a LITTLE rust in the hatch but underneath it, nasty. omg

Okay, well the nismo hammer(thats what it is...right?) is a good shifter nob, I just went to advance and bought a cheap one..

wtf is with people buying those shifter nobs....my celica had one in it when i bought it, i was like wow..

Im hoping mines not like that...but...i do know for a fact that the underside from the front of the rear wheels to the front of the car doesn't have any issues. I couldn't imagine the underside where the gas tank/trunk is being bad. (sorry if that was hard to understand)

Today it rained here for the first time this year....

So i go to work, a few hours pass by and it rains, then i decide to go back to my car to get something. Yeah i knew that my car leaked a little water but this time, i pretty much found a lake inside of it instead

I knew it was some seal type of deal on the tailights that went bad, so i decided to get that all taken care of tonight.



Pulling the tailights off was a pita, and that black adhesive stuff took some paint off too.



So i got those resealed with that black adhesive stuff (forgot what its called) so now i dont have to worry about water leaking in anymore.

Here's one more pic just for the hell of it:

Well....here's a short to do list that im gonna try to accomplish in the short run:

1) Replace transmission fluid (Redline Mt-90 ~ 2.5 qts?)2) Replace differential fluid (75w90 3 1/8 pints?) (oddly enough, i can't even find the drain and fill plug on this thing ...maybe i just missed it?)3) New shift knob4) New brake pads (hopefully gets rid of the little brake grab issue that i have right now)

drain plug should be right at the bottom in the middle of the rear cover. other wise half way up the case on the driver side

I hate yellow cars with a passion, but damn son you got one clean looking car. Like everyone else has said, get some wheels that compliment the yellow color and you'll be set. Keep us updated on the rust situation.

I was thinking the same exact thing! I would appreciate it if i can get suggestions and opinions on some wheels/tires that would look good on my car. I have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to wheels, tires, offsets and all that stuff.

Oh and also.............

ffffffffFFFFFFFuuuuuuuUUUUU********************kkkkKKKKkk my life. I thought i had taken care of the water leak problem....I only fixed a small part of it. Basically i need a new (forgot what they're called) weather trim thing for the hatch. Not only that but i found where the water is leaking from and i basically have to seam seal everything and anything in the trunk area.

One last thing too, I figured out that I'll get started on fixing the rockers, rust, and repainting the whole thing starting in the beginning of April...depending how bored i am during spring break...then i actually might start working on it about 3-3 1/2 weeks from now.

Edit: Ugh, just one more month at most! So close...yet...so far away!

If i remember right, they both use a 1/2" Breaker bar (with no socket attachment, just the square part.) to loosen.

I'm feelin' the color, however I probably would have the left the mirror black and maybe even the roof black, as well. Overall sweet car, give it a drop and maybe a xenon lip and call it a day....Oh and maybe some engine work.

Oh...trust me, there will be engine work done to it in the future. I was thinking of getting a KA24DE motor...maybe rebuild the bottom end and turbo it of course.

But yeah, it does need a little bit more of a drop. Literally, a 1/2" - 1" more at most.
