I fixed my starting problem and learned about the 3rd gen's window regulator problem (I just another regulator replaced today, thats 2 in less than a year).

I haven't had any other problems with the car yet, but when I do I know where to look.

Every VG problem. If I can only fix my auto into a 5 speed manual that'll be sweet.

clock? (well not mine but other peoples)

probably more but I dont really remember.

future:
Auto Climate Control, since Craig and Michael already figured it out makes everything easier for me

The only thing I haven't removed from my car has been the body panels,engine and rear crossmember, oil pan to heads, ABS system and fuel hardlines and the wire harness. Everything else has been touched

Almost everything I have done to the car.

I think if it weren't for MrGone, I would have saved myself several hundred dollars on mods.

I have really only gotten some modding ideas, fixing stuff is fairly easy. Get an FSM.

Tip for everyone if they want to lean about the entire car is to take one completly apart, and then reassemble, then you will literally know the car inside and out.

Or just ask MrGone, cuz he thinks he is GOD.

Shawn I had nothing to do with "figuring out" the ACC swap...matter of fact I slowed it down by reading the wrong wire on the ECU Craig did all the figuring and then explained it to me again and again and again lol. When we planned it I was originally going to do research on it but before I even started Craig said he had it figured out (he didnt have a job at the time and was bored a lot)...why argue lol.

Chris was saying I'm to blame for all his mods. I replied not the y-pipe because he bought the y-pipe before I knew Julio was selling it

Michael, lol, either way it's on my list . The hard part is finding the parts (atleast for me it is).

I learned how to fix my dashboard lights so that I could see my gauges at night time and also fix my hazards that weren't working anymore.

No one has helped me fix my defroster yet. I'm sure someone will find a fix for that one too.

First determine if it is the switch or the rear defroster itself. If it is the rear defroster itself then buy some of the conductive paint and patch the broken part on the rear window. Napa carries it .

well the switch works fine. It lights up when pressed. I'll look for cracks in the line. I figured that if there was a section missing in the window, it would still work, just not the section of the window not receiving any power. I'll go check right now for cracks in the line. thanx.

MrGone was just like the Y pipe was not his fault. Usually a guilty conscience will make someone tell on themselves before ever being told what. That is why I stated that unknowingly of what transactions occured between the two of them.

Nothing. Nothing has ever gone wrong with my car at anytime, anywhere,anyplace. And my car is completely stock. .org is a big waste of time.

Shawn I call on your claim. You have never removed any of your glass.

i've practically done more moddin' than fixin' if i recall. the biggest thing i've done is converting the car to a 5-speed and thats about it.

MrGone: i have access to gettin' all the parts u need to do the ACC conversion. as of right now i have 3 ACC units laying around as spares. let me know if ur interested.

Michael im still in the hunt for the HUD control unit. so far i got u the necessary harnesses and HUD projector so i'll keep u informed.

my locked up rear trunk that I couldn't unlock with the key and my slave cylinder issue that could have ended in a rear-ending that day.

On my VE - JDM motor swap. I would not have attempted it without the right-up. I have done carburated RWD motors before but that was my first FWD FI computerized motor swap. Now that I think back to it, it wasnt that much harder.

On my VG, Fuel Injector. Didnt have any other problems.

A motor replacement is a motor replacement, doesn't matter whether it's a diesel, a gas motor, 3 cylinder or W8, Quad turbo or no turbo.
The same principles always apply.
Drain all fluids from motor
Unbolt the mounts, unbolt the drive coupling, unplug whatever connectors are there. Yank motor.
Do the reverse for reinstallation.
