Noise came back...sounded like front bearing...
To my surprise, the axle nut was lose again. Cleaned the area of all "powdered" rust, greased, and locktited. Was being lazy and didn't want to get the book to find the correct torque, but its well above 150 that my torque wrench can read up too. Ole breakbar/metal pole. Took a drive, and its gone...for now. |

dropped the car off at maaco!! YEA i know i know. Then took all the parking lights off, the side marker lights off, the rear lights off, told them to fix every freaking dent there is, and to shave off my spoiler. Plan being that when i get it back i will complain if it doesnt look acceptable and tell them i want it repainted.

I parked the car and was foolin with something else in the drivway when suddenly my celica makes a hiss noise and steam POURED out of every seam on the front end of the car. Know how you feel. My radiator has a crack across the top of it, happened while was doing something with the car while it was running. Anywho, next thing I know I'm being sprayed with hot coolant.. Going to try and fiberglass it, since I'm too cheap and lazy to install a radiator. Marked out making a cold air/short ram intake. Since the options for our cars are either expensive or the design sucks. Thankfully the intake setup on our cars is super basic, unlike some other cars. I love MAP sensors. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

On Wednesday, I took my car to the body shop for body work and painting. Today I went to see the progress and it has been sanded out for the majority of the body, it has been disassembled for the most part and the front bumper was being worked on. I was told the quarte panel windows will come off tomorrow and the bumper will have to be plastic welded for it has a tear at the bottom, where it bolts to the plastic covers. I didn't know plastic could be welded in its own special way.

do tell Not quite yet. I will say that it will cost another ~$300 or so to pick up most of what I purchased. I finally picked up some Twos R Us front sway end links, but that's about all I can divulge for now. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

mmmm, glad you still post, too bad you dont have a celica. BUT you must know sumthing, I know some things...and maybe some pics to prove it in a few days... Too bad I don't have a Celica ? You are mistaken my friend. The wife owns the 97 LE Deep Jewel Green st205 swapped Celica. I own the 94 Matador Red Mica Beams swapped Celica (just happens to be the featured ride right now), I can link you if you want ba-zing. I'm always still around, I just don't post that much, not a lot of action around here. -------------------- |

I own the 94 Matador Red Mica Beams swapped Celica (just happens to be the featured ride right now), I can link you if you want ba-zing. The red Celica is yours now? I'm jelly of all of your Celicas. So much do that it looks like I've copied your blue Celica in several ways.... There might be a new sig in my future next week. No no no, you allses is accompanied by a nothern accent. We just say y'alls here in Texas but its pronounced yaws I guess I'm an in-betweener. I'm not quite Southern but I'm not quite Northern either. It makes for an interesting twang. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
