[NetKeym]

Have you sprayed the latches yet?

Every freakin' day for a week; can't get it to go off. I'm guessing it has been like that a very long time b4 I got the car.

 

[K-FAN]

[LowLincoln]

Going to a local junkyard I just found out about and see if they are any Marks in there.

Will be hunting for a front/driver's air spring and some minor interior pieces.

Just came back. There was only one G1, actually the only Mark in the entire place.

I didn't notice a grill, all air springs/bags gone, but engine/trans were still intact.

 

[2002WRXSTi]

Last I looked by me there were 3 Marks at my local yard but the front ends where all stripped

 

[Gilby959798]

washed it and covered it for the winter... When it comes out it comes out for sale...

 

[Mark8Murder]

Cracked the garage door, fired it up, loaded some new music onto the hard drive, and jammed out for a bit.

 

[K-FAN]

polished my drivers side headlight before and after pictures tell me what u guys think.thats using the GM headlight restore kit wow right i was surprised i used the autozone kit and that was a pos but this is amazing...

after:

 

[K-FAN]

I like em

If you end up getting them, apply some thread locker or Teflon tape around those screws for the black inserts, those screws back out very easily (which is why I never cared for that style wheel) but they look nice

 

[K-FAN]

on ebay for 850 and i have a set of tires in the shed waiting for some wheels to put on them- sapp should i keep here the same color or paint here a different color im leaning towards blk or keep her factory color??? AGGGGHHHUUUUHHHHH

 

[Sapperfire]

These cars around worth roughly $2K-$3K, the factory paint is at LEAST 14 years old..paint it whatever color you want. I like black, but it's hard to keep clean looking. I think if you're picking a wheel with color inserts, that they should match the car

 

[K-FAN]

id like it blk with the ivory interior the headerpanel and the bumper are already from a blk on blk mark here at the pull a part in charlotte im leaning more towards blk from ur gen 2

 

[lobird91]

Bought tires for the new wheels and cried a little.

[LowLincoln]

Well I finally did it. I pulled the trigger and ordered a new OEM air spring for the driver side. Should come out to about $345~ including shipping.

Incredible and motivating for me lol If you can get yours to look like that, I shouldn't have a prob myself.

 

[K-FAN]

[marked8]

Finally got motivated and removed my drivers side UCA and inner and outer tie rods. I still have to get the LCA off and replace the strut rod bushings. The car has been sitting since late June and I am just now getting the urge to finish it.

 

[Mark8Murder]

Nice day, so I'm out driving it! :burnout:

 

[Sapperfire]

Changed Oil, AIC, crank case vent hoses...Thermostat/gasket and a bottle of coolant on it's way

 

[thaywood]

Ordered my new set of coils today. 2-6 days for shipping. Crossing my fingers they get here on Friday so I can drive the car down to Charleston SC on Saturday. I'm not counting on it though.

 

[LowLincoln]

Welp.... tonight after work, my alternator dies!

I had no choice but to drive to VatoZone and buy their "Duralast" alternator, $194 (core included) down the toilet.

I put the thing on and won't go over 13.7 volts. The old one was 14+.

It was the only one they had in stock.

Goodbye Christmas presents.

This HAD to happen after buying a new OEM air spring just a couple days ago.

wait for more stock and trade that thing out. use that warranty until you get a good one. autozone alts are crazy hit or miss.
