Needle nose pliers ftw on those, ez stuff. and always make sure the tabs on the pads line up the with the piston.

On my car, sub frame bushings, gas tank and all fuel hoses..got it back together and rides like a champ! finally did the bushings after 3 years of "Clunk"

my driver side door wouldnt open from the inside when you lock it and shut the door the lock wouldn't pull the bar far enough to disengage the lock.

1.So i removed the door panel.2. took the handle/lock mechanism off. (black square with the handle and lock on it.) inside mechanism3. took the gray bar that hooks into the lock and found that over the years the motion it does, stretched the bar a bit at the offset closest to the handle (inside)4. I just bent the offset enough to take some length out but not so much that it effects the fitment.5. ta-da it worked like new.if you don't know what an offset is..it is two bends in a row that form a Z shape.Search itNow I need to see if I can tighten my window rail to see if it will stop rattling.

Started scraping the SR's block... Head should be done tomorrow afternoon, and the ECU was finished with tuning today. Should have everything done in the next week or so!



Anyone got any tips to make removing the head gasket any easier? Or is a razor blade and some brake cleaner the only way to go?

Did a temporary fix on my header/down pipe gasket, fasten my amp control in a more accessible location, cleaned the interior, and drove it around town with the windows down and the music up.

I brought Both of my girls today. A black 90hatch with 90k good transmission and no engine. And a red 92 with 110k great engine but bad gears. Picked them up for 700 and trailered them downtown. Felt goodd to be able to just sit in them and ponder about future plans.... Hmmmm! Been thinking about clean, low, wide, and simple.
