    Got it just the way it is.

    Did the cooling system and had to replace the drive shaft and tires and it did me just fine daily driving for almost three years!

        Allright guys I'm almost ready to do this swap.

        Is anyone available this weekend? I think i might get it started this weekend or during the evenings early next week.

        I still need trans mounts and the cross brace for a manual

        I also need a set of vert seats if anyone has any

            ooh, i want to go, but i also need to be in san rafael for dorkfest

            also running a motor on 5/6 cylinders with the injector and plug disabled for the dead cylinder should be fine for 30 minutes, yeah?

                    I broke a rocker on one of my cars many years ago. I unplugged the injector and drove it half hour home!

                            Google
                            "String Method Alignment"

                            What I did when I swapped to my 031 rack and needed a desperate same night alignment. Came out pretty good; good enough to not need an professional alignment (yet)

                              looks like the south bay is doing its best to keep up... http://www.mercurynews.com/homicides with the way Chuck Reed dicked over the SJPD, San Jose is going to be the next Oakland, soon.

                              Oakland is gentrifying pretty quickly, thanks to the insane housing pricing in SF pushing people out here. that said, yeah, you probably still want to stay out of east oakland. i go there if i need to for some reason, but a Taxi-Driver-style mohawk and combat boots say "leave this cracker alone", and i carry a benchmade auto-opener for anyone not wise enough to heed that message. :)

                              took the girlfriend out for zachary's pizza and drinks/ping-pong at an irish bar in Rockridge last night. nobody fucked with us, didn't see any violence.

                              today i'm chilling on the Emeryville peninsula with a view of the bay bridge and treasure island. only one road gets you to my house and there's a police station on it. not really worried about crime with that kind of perimeter defense.

                              the east bay isn't fallujah... just gotta be smart about where you go. that's just as true of the south bay (looking at you here, ESSJ).
