neighbor called the cops on me. lol.
but yeah, she ran! mirrors shook everytime I revved the motor.
the problem I'm having is that the radiator is cracked. tomorrow, I get paid, gues what I'm gettin. but yeah, don't think I got to "break it in" properly, she's gonna need some more heat cycles I guess. So yeah, progress guys! any of you guys know a good exhaust shop? need to get my cats welded into my dr.gas X.

I am cool.

Performance Radiator has a really great unit for the Fox cars that is a heavy duty 2 core. You might check and see if they have one for SN95 cars.

My exhaust shop is in Lake Stevens (not sure if you want to drive that far lol) but we could weld your cats onto your x-pipe if you want.

I have flowmaster 2.5 catback, don't know which ones, came with the car. but yeah I got BBK LT's, thing is, the x they sent me was a universal, not the one specifically for the BBK's. so I'm using the 35degree pipes for a makeshift side exhaust for now, louder than **** without the muffs on. my ears hurt.

anywyas, I put in the new radiator and no leaks. turned on the heater, minute later low coolant light came on. can't get her to idle though, so I'm guessing on the timing. the good news is that the check engine light turned off! I wanna drive it but I'm still making sure nothing bad happens or catches on fire. for some reason the fuel rails keep popping off of the injectors. I'm thinking that since I haven't ran the car in two years that the spring in there naturally expanded and jacked the pressure up I hope so!
