Welcome to NICO! Make sure and read the FAQ at the top of this forum. It's LOADED with information. Also, if you haven't downloaded the FSM (Factory Service Manual) for the CA18DET yet, please do so, and familiarize yourself with it. It's the bible when it comes to this motor.

Post your pics on http://www.flickr.com or other free site and try again. Those postage stamps and private MySpace account are killing me. I do have a 24" HD widescreen maxed out on resolution tho...

That actually used to be my coupe project, but he is now the proud new owner that gets to enjoy the finished product in the near future... I had a baby so one of my toys had to go. I'm just glad that my hard work is being enjoyed by someone worthy
