no need to drop the trans. Pretty much bolt on, and bleed the clutch system and you're good to go. You're probably gonna need to remove the top mount intercooler if you still have it, otherwise its gonna be a bitch to get your hands in there. I'd recommend having a look at a Factory Service Manual (probably in the archives or FAQ of this forum), to show you what the process entails.

Its 2 bolts on top by the fire wall kinda awkard to get to but still doable

Got the FC back on the road guys! fixed the exhaust and the slave bleeder screw had gunk in it so i cleaned it out and it doesnt leak any more!



only thing i need to do is find where coolant is leaking. looks to me its the fill neck on the radiator!



but thanks again guys. no i have to buy tire chains its snowed last night and still gonna snow for the next three days! FML.

Haha that sucks i still say keep an eye on the line and slave it could go bad so if you got a spongey pedal its the slave or line

ReD_TO4b 02-24-2011 10:22 PM

feels good to me but ill get a new one just in case.



so after driving it today it wouldnt start till i floored it. punched the accelerator to the floor and started right up. still running on the fuel from 4 months ago. might have some water in it. tank is about a quarter tank. so ill keep ya posted on this.

Your gas could have gone a little bad so the octane isnt where it should be

ReD_TO4b 02-26-2011 07:45 PM

put some gas in it and never had the problem again.

Heet



Go into any parts store and ask for that. It's a water remover and it works. We used to use it for semi tractors to get water out of the fuel in winter. Best of luck man

ReD_TO4b 02-26-2011 09:19 PM

used it might have helped some!



got another question( sorry for all of them)



but i want to do the whole sleeper look witht the headlights any idea on how to stop the flip lights at about half way or less?

RicerJ 02-27-2011 04:28 PM

Pop your hood pull the retractor fuse and hit the switch inside to pop them up without the headlights on or just turn the headlights on all the way then tap the fuse until the come up enough or if they come up too much or not enough underneath is a knob it might be covered with a rubber boot if so pull the boot off and rotate whichever way is needed and throw the retractor fuse into the glovebox so you dont loose it
