this was the seller, doesn't look like they have any 4 door ones listed right now but you could send them a message and ask. those mirrors seem to come and go randomly
Thank you sir! I will contact them to find out about the 4dr ones.

I replaced the right door vapor barrier / sound insulation yesterday. I got some tips and encouragement from the body shop guys at my dealer.

The housewares manager at the local department store muttered that I wasn't using things for their intended purpose, and wandered off, after I told her my plans for this pastry dough roller.

Yesterday, got the exhaust and drive shaft out. Installed new shift selector seal. Pulled the drive shaft apart, got a new CSB on.

Today, Installed rear ride height adjusters. Got the drive shaft centering bushing out using method below, it worked perfectly!

Cheapest hydraulic press ever....

I got the pilot bearing out of my motor with a slide hammer and a bent piece of all-thread...

Finally got real ride height adjusters huh? Much safer for the auto-x.

Yeah, I tried grease first, that was a mistake. All it did was make a mess and squeeze out through the gaps in the bushing. Wet paper is the way to go.

I managed to get a nice used set of AST height adjusters, now I need to get it corner balanced.

That mean you'll be out Saturday? You don't NEED to get it corner balanced...

You have CC plates? I've been debating getting M3 strut mounts to help the front out on mine, but I could spend 120 bucks elsewhere, like seat padding-or Protege parts.

earlier i was having some problems with my window but then i found a great thread on here but i'm still having a few issues, when i went to take the clip out for the power window switch when taking the door panel off i managed to remove every individual wire from the clip before being able to pull the clip off. not knowing exactly what wire went where i taped up each wire end so there wouldn't be any arching from the wires, removed the fuse, and left it alone. after searching everywhere on this forum for some sort of wiring diagram for it i'm now hoping someone can help. please it would be great to just fix it myself and not have to go the the high price shop to have them do it for me. please can anyone help?

plus if anyone knows where i can get a replacement rubber molding piece for the front bumper that would be awesome too...

yesterday I dropped the cordoba ti off at the body shop to get my m-tech rear bumper put on and get a dent and a few dings fixed, today I drove the track car down and swapped bumpers. I'm not spending money on professional body work for a track car so I'll be rocking a mismatched rear bumper until I get around to spray painting it

Changed my TPS last week, but it didn't make my check engine light go off. Carsoft error is "Pedal Value Sensor" something so I assumed it was the TPS. Anybody know what this means? Code was 150 I believe.
