Hmm, I don't think I had any problems with my corners. They were pretty much just plug and play as far as I can remember. I think mine only had one bulb that works the running light and turn signal. Your setup may just use one light for the running lights and the other for the turn. You might be abl...

Did you ever get this sorted out? I was having a few idle issue a little while back and there was a vacuum leak where one of the hoses was lose. If the problem is still going on then I'd suggest searching all over for an air/vacuum leak. This was enough to stall out my car, but it was an easy fix fo...

If I were you, I'd check the freon level before checking anything else. If a belt were loose, you'd most likely hear it or be able to notice it under the hood. As for a switch in the clutch, as far as I know there is no such switch. Check the freon level and we'll go from there.

Beach went well! 21 is a great birthday..but in the end..it's only another birthday. Each birthday just means you're closer to the end, haha. I have clears all the way around mine.

I love my new setup! I spent the 4th at the lake as well! It was great! I also just had a birthday..big 2-1 on the 5th. Now I'm about to head to the beach with several friends! Glad to hear you had a great 4th too! I'll upload some pictures soon of my car since it's been lowered and all.

Cheers!

That's quiet a few miles for that car, I'd say that these sleeves will show wear by 150,000 miles, so it's problem time to do a little work on them by now anyway. How is it running? Weak/strong? Leaking at all? If all seems well then I'd just suggest an inspection, unless of course you want to put t...

By recondition, what exactly do you mean? Rebuilding the engine or just replacing seals and such?
