That Bumper fits like the proverbial glove.. nice find.

Hi Nath,

On the picture with the new oil filter, it appears that your dip stick tube is not seated all the way down and will be taking too much oil to get to the correct level. You may have to bend the bracket on the intake a bit to get it pushed all the way home.

If it was cut with a standard hacksaw blade, that's about 25 thou thick... your not going to notice any loss in width..

Hi Nathan,

My old white XR needed the small vam on to pass smog, you may have the same issue.

Saw some nice comfy leather seats in a cadillac catera, looked like they may fit.

I found a couple of photos on photobucket, I forgot they were there. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd266/thedrill_2007/IMG_1269.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd266/thedrill_2007/IMG_1268.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd266/thedrill_2007/IMG_1267.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com...

Glad you liked the BMW dash swap, it really follows the contours of the XR windshield nicely.. doesnt take too much cutting and hangs off the car with a few custom made brackets, that I welded to the car. The gauges have a lot of electronics inside , I couldnt follow the scematics... so I gutted the...

Spray some ether into the intake and see if it runs, if it does investigate the fuel system further.

Only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun... and also they have tendencies to weld crazy exhaust systems..

I was once using brake cleaner by where someone had cleaned the floor with some acidic chemicals, did not know that I had passed out and woke up in hospital, and could not breath in or out because of the pain in my chest.

Nasty stuff..

The gag is missing off the ball..

Those that haven't done this may not want to try, but for the sake of the argument, unbolt the hood from it's hinges, close the hood, go for a drive... Report your findings... I couldnt unbolt my hood as it was welded on, so I undone the bolts on my trunk and went for a drive, I pulled the trunk re...
