rocketfast321 is on a distinguished road
Just a lame update.
2 front hubs
2200 OHV coil pack swap (i did not feel like spending $140 so $25 at pull-a-part, 2200 plug wires. "$17 life replacement." And i just rebuilt the 2.4 ignition system)
New Plugs Ac-delco 41-what-ever
Summit rotors slotted and drilled all the way around. Autozone duralast gold pads. They don't throw any dust.
Royal Purple ATF in the 5-speed at 125k. Doesn't rattle as much
New idler pulley on the belt tensioner. I did not feel like replacing the whole thing.
New belt and both rad hoses. Belt was bad, so i did the hoses. Put dex cool back in.
Oil changes always been with 5-30 synthetic oil or simi-synthetic oil, with an oversize filter.(aka northstar 4.6 filter) She burns oil at the 50% mark. But it always a Qt. I just top it off with dyno 10-30.
What ever the rubber spray paint was. (I'm drunk right now) It made it pass summer and that paint it still good on my ebay WAI, and my Quad 4 High Output ICM cover.

I am very happy with my car at 132k. Other than the abs, low trac, svs light on. I will recheck the connections. The 2.4 pulls hard a/c still works. The leather sucks. The flasher relay is wonky, but a quick hit makes it works. Now it drop to like 70 my blower relay is going out again, but it only happed once


But both my windows are right now doing the the motor lock up. But I use the trick i learn from the grand am
{i made this video]


So here is a lame video of Micky. E-brake still doesn't work, so i have to put a 1 liter bottle under the e-bake to hold it up.


Last HOON video i made of Micky
