Ive got an odd little question about the front 3 17mm nuts that also hold down the roll bar in the engine bay. I got two of the three off and now the third isnt rusted together it actually turns just simply isn't spiraling up?? It is turning.. why arent the threads pushing it up? I have tried looking from the bottom up but cant see it because of the stuff in the way that the last nut is holding on to.

Any suggestions?

the bolts threads are stripped, either drill it out and find new bolts, mine are 14 btw... if your talking about the 3 bolts that hold the strut/coilover up and the roll bar is your tower bars... but your going to either cut it or drill it out. you must have cross threaded it.

Do you really have to "break in" a clutch (either OEM replacement or upgraded clutches) or can you start automatically beating on it?

If you replace a timing belt (RB20DET) do you have to re time the car or would you be ok as long as you lined everything up to TDC?

i just bought a new clutch, go the 1000 miles. don't be a pussy, if you dont break your clutch in its going to go bad MUCH faster than if you were to break it in. drive like a drug dealer for 1000 miles, or beat on your car to look cool now and fork out another 200$+ on a clutch in a couple of months. your call

also, correct me if i'm wrong anyone, but when you do timing there is a process you go through with a "bible" or fsm. you have to count a certain number of ribs in the belt, line it up with a point of something, usually the point is the indicator of TDC so you dont have to manually crank it, and do some other stuff. i dont think you can just throw it on there, again, its something i wouldnt skimp out on and possible break a valve and fuck up my cylinder wall.

some smart ass guy on this forum in xs042lol's thread about tricks said "that last thing you dont want to do when working on your car, do it first." listen to his ass, its a bitch but so is being lazy... end rant lol

1. Probably burned out bulbs in cluster.

2. side markers don't blink, at least not on an s13.

3. maybe.

i have one but the fluid is all gelled up, so it stays on at the same speed constantly. no effect to your performance. give me 10$ and pay shipping and ill send it. its for an s13 ka, but if its 4 bolts it should fit, if not ill refund u the 10$ and u keep it and throw it out

Whenever I'm braking moderately (daily driving) in my 240, my brake pedal shakes, is that normal? Or if there is something wrong? Is it the brake pedal?

You're rotors are probably warped. Get them resurfaced, or buy some new ones.

I want to remove my doors to paint the jambs, is there a write up or does anyone have any tips?

[drftx]

When my friend and his brother did that for their FC, they just covered the parts that they didn't paint for the inner part and for the inner part of the door pretty much the same thing: cover parts not being painted.

And just do it in an area with the least amount of dust, nobody is going to really see it so it'll be fine.

hope this helps.
