      ya the PO had gotten in to a rear-ender. I always just thought it was the shocks that were compressed, but I guess it's a bit more serious than that. Oh well, I can still get the new bumper to fit. I am going to space out the brackets on the back side of the bumper so that they match up with the current shock position. I picked up some longer bolts and washers/spacers, I'll give it a try next weekend.

        Just came up on a set of Euro Smileys for a reallly good price. Gonna put them on next week.

        I also installed the $30 Omega Keyless Entry unit. I have read the threads and i am aware of the lifespan, but I just had to give it a try. Took 20 min to install.

        -Ladies love the keyless entry. lol

            what I did yesterday:



            temporarily using bavauto wires (god these things are crap). I have cleaning up to do but it runs.

            and yes I know my headers are ugly - I don't really care, they'll be replaced eventually. :p

                cheap wires, cheap ends. I had one end come apart the first day I had them, but was able to fix it. yesterday when I went to pull them off the spark plugs (pulling properly on the boot, not the wire) one of the connectors came off the wire, and one of the other wires just broke. I know I'm not the only one who's had these things break on them either..

                                Few days ago finally re-wired front indicator/turn signal lights, so now they work, and replaced the worn out shift boot with a new oem one. Drove the piss out of her :p
