Bump for a good guy

Bump for looking.

$20 for this whole thing. Parts came off my D16Z6. Exhaust manifold with O2 sensor. Heat shield for said exhaust manifold. Downpipe from manifold to catalytic converter. Mounting bracket for downpipe. These are stock parts. The manifold has a small crack in it, but it passed CA smog...

I'm quasi-active. However, I live out in BFE near Joshua Tree, so I feel as close to the Cali group as I do with the regulars elsewhere on the forum. I don't know which is a bigger factor- dudes being scared, or the State of Cali being broke and robbing the folks who live here to make ends...

Not to thread jack, but...this sag mentioned. Would it also cause an annoying rattling noise from the dash?

OK. Opted to wait on swapping out the bushings for the rear suspension until I got everything I needed. I did, however, install the new shocks & springs. For good measure, I used silicone spray on the existing rubber bushings to make them STFU. (It worked, too- we'll see for how long!)...

:word: Do it right. If it were MY ride, I'd look at running the antenna up the appropriate pillar and under the headliner, mounting the antenna on the exterior in the center of the roof. But I'm ridiculously particular. I'd rather do without XM/Sirius than have it done half-a$$3d.

Hey, On a car this old, some things just start to wear out, and of all the door handles, which one gets used the most? Well, the driver's side, of course. The "best" recommendation I can give you is to buy replacement door handles. They're not overly expensive, and they're simple enough to...

Pick the colors you want, for sure- just make sure you do good quality work that won't fall the f*(k apart on you in 3-6 months. And make sure you pay attention to what makes her go- otherwise you just have a really cool-looking lawn ornament.

OK. Got almost all of the parts from November's big buy installed. My job interfered with my garage time for a bit. In the process of doing all that work, I also replaced the front & rear main seals, and the O-ring at the distributor. The O-ring I replaced was brittle, and had been leaking...

How much for the tail lights shipped to 92277? Any chance you have the stock exhaust manifold and just didn't feel like snapping a pic of it?

I'm no expert, BUT if it's a direct swap, just a thicker bar, then it should be a little stiffer and help reduce body roll.

So here we go... I got a hood with minimal damage and a front right fender at a local junkyard for $60. Yes, I know it's the wrong color. The hood's gonna hang out in my garage for a year or so until I replenish my car funds. I'm not entirely sure why I took a picture of this with the wheel...

Bump b/c I looked and it's a great deal.

I'm getting pretty excited. Finally got the money I've been waiting on to buy a huge influx of parts. Since Wednesday, I have bought: A reconditioned transmission EXEDY Clutch Kit Master Cylinder Slave Cylinder New engine & Transmission mounts (OEM replacement) Front & rear shocks...

If it's strictly a DD, I'd say just build yourself a new d16y7. Or, if you prefer to purchase, then buy a rebuilt d16y7. But if you think you MIGHT wanna get some performance out of it...consider something else.

Wow. I'd really have to get posting for that access. Since I mostly use the forums for a knowledge base, though, I'll bide my time. While being nice.:cool:

Wow. I didn't even know off-topic was open to new folks...which is why I haven't been there. Note to self: be nice to others.

I say...sometimes you have to spend/invest money for something to be done right. Painting pieces of the center console white WITH WHITE-OUT is not only rice, it's cheap rice IMO. Then again, I'm not a speed demon, either. My personal project is more of a restoration project, no performance...

I still don't understand why rice was ever popular. Except that it's delicious, steamed or fried...
