Buy oem wheel bearings or do a 5 lug conversion right now.

Get your windshield replaced at a reputable place.

Check fuses i guess for the dash lights? are they ALL out or just a few?

Dash lights are probably because the TCU is shorted. Common on s13s. Its the white box located behind the driverside kick panel.

well i got about 500 for the 5 lug think i could make it happen? and as for the windshield isn't there a way i can replace it? i mean ive replaced a 68 mustangs glass is there a certain way of doing it? and as for the gauges ive checked all the fuses and there all fine. ill check on that white box tomorrow is there a way i can test it other then replacing? i heard its a common problem for s13 if you install an aftermarket stereo in there.

well you could possibly do the windshiels yourself tho, i think its relatively cheap for you to change the windshiels about 80 to 100 bucks and thats with new glass and installation; just my opinion. My windshield is cracked in the top right for some reason its cracked in a circular motion i think im just gonna put a sticker over it

If you pop the TCU apart you will see the burnt path if it is bad

Didn't a guy do a writ-up of how to run a bypass on the circuit board not too long ago. Or am I mistaken, Sir. If so, only if your TCU is fugged up, you may be able too cost effectively. hope it's not though payne in the arse
