Put on a Carbon Fiber cooling panel. Fit was actually great, just had to enlarge some of the holes a bit. It looks so much better now, I'm shocked. Now I have to polish up that radiator....

Took an hour trying to figure out why front passenger speaker stopped working. After guessing at the amp being an issue, hit it with screwdriver, started working again. That was after removing radio and passenger seat to get to amp.

That's normal, and it doesn't go away until the ka is gone. :gapteeth:

Sadly looked at my vert, wishing the Atlantic wasn't dumping water on the area and the cold front wasn't going to make it impractical to drive with the top down.

Need moar parts to start rebuild!

Changed thermo Sunday on my Coupe, realized that wasn't the issue, cooling system is just doing too good of a job in cool weather.

Also realized that too much camber or something in the front, eating the inside 2-3 inches of the tire, so alignment needed in the next couple months.

I have the same issue, and apparently blocking off a ~1 ft wide section of the radiator isn't enough, it seems that I am going to have to put more effort into this than I was expecting. :squint:

Researched parts that i would like and the parts that are more realistic for my budget. Going over the long list of things that i need to do to get it off stands and on to the ground so i can hopefully get it tuned and start driving it legally.

Viewed 50 of 173 pages of the "best looking s13's" thread for ideas, just to find it got locked :squint:

Shopped CL for two extra 4-lug S14 steelies so I can stop depending on the tire guy being (1) there (2) convenient at drift events.
