Yes the old starter was bad... when I bench tested it it wouldn't even click. I did the new one the same waya nd it clicked and spun... so yes old starter was indeed bad.

Post all the facepalm pictures you want... but atleast I tried and never gave up. Right? I have something good going for me.

Atleast I dont have a shitty bodykit and ebay wheels. Atleast my car looks half-way decent. Atleast I can work on a car (somewhat :p)

Give me shit, but at the end of the day... Im not doing everything wrong.

And the ticking noise from the exhaust I think is just a combination of the drilled airbox and my exhaust leak.

You are right and I give you props for fixing your car. It is a learning experience and you are working hard to do everything yourself which is respectable. It is just you approach that is a bit questionable which is what people are giving you a hard time for. Sometimes you just need to slow down and take a step back to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it without breaking other things in the process.

What he said..

We all were like you at some point, just learning how to work on cars. And many of us harassed our Dad's or older brother's (or sister depending on your family) or some local gearhead. We all asked question's that may have seemed silly to us now, but that's part of learning. I think where your cause jumped the shark 5toes was when you started using this forum as your Twitter feed and just kept posting stuff that maybe should have been filtered out.

We all suffer from foot-in-mouth disease once in a while (sometimes it's my whole damn leg), but don't let it deter you from learning.

If I were you, I would do like some of the others have suggested, take a step back and focus on other things. Spend some time reading the tech threads on this and other boards, many times the question's you ask have been probably answered (these cars have been around for almost 30 years, there isn't a whole lot of "new" problems with them.) Then, once you are armed with knowledge, and have some free time, invite people over or see if you can bring your car over to another person's house to spend some quality time working and BS'ing.

These forum's are a great source of information, but they are only an online version of what we used to do when standing around at Street races on weekends, or in the pits, or at friends garage's.

OK, I have completely forgotten the point of my post, need more caffeine.

Remember how I said "YES I AM AN IDIOT"... well this proves that

Your car will start just fine at 11.something volts. Dude. You were out of gas.
