Car sat for a year. 1tbsp of oil in each cylinder, turned it over by hand a few full revolutions. Eventually fired it up. Only let it run a few seconds so as to not smoke out my neighbors too bad

Getting ready to put some rubber on some wheels I bought from a user here a few years back... Then its new dif fluid, trans fluid, valve cover gasket, royal purple oil change and front hubs.

For U Ethanol is more expensive then Gas?
Here in Brazil its abou half the price, but I bet this is still more expensive here then there, one liter costs about: E100% U$ 0,772, we don't have pure gas we have the E25% U$ 1,272.

Polished My car, and turn it it into full black inteiror, later I will post pictures of IT, is the correct place the "Bios and introduction"?

Made some progress on the suspension this weekend: new control arms, tie-rods, FCABS, Bilstein sports, and ACS springs. Have everything back together, but the struts. Those are even fully assembled and just need to be bolted in tonight. 3 of the 4 shocks had no resistance at all, one had minimal. I am hoping this will make a noticeable difference in handling and get rid of the 60 mph shimmy.

I also got the cordless impact gun that is on sale at Sears currently for $90. I have clue as to how I have done all my previous mechanical projects in life without one of these gadgets. So far, I love it! Knocked off the rusted strut bolts with no problem even though it is only rated at 200 ft lbs.

No. Gas with ethanol is cheaper. Premium with ethanol was $3.38 per gallon. With out ethanol was $3.79 per gallon.

AND. Today I bought the bits to make my own coil on plug kit. After planning for a year an a half. Luckily there's a DIY floating around the internet that (designed for the 1.9l z car) makes it simple for a dummy like me.

Just returned from a 1600 mile round trip to Ames, Iowa. The ti performed perfectly and remained comfortable. Plenty of room for two adults and their luggage and stuff with the back seats folded down and the rear dash taken out.

Replaced swaybar endlinks on the 96.
Took apart the hatch trim to find a leak on the 95.

Disconnected the rotten busted rear speakers and bolted in a box with 6 1/2 inch woofers, 3 inch midranges and 2 inch horn tweeters.
Business radio sounds pretty darn sweet now

After an annoying month of tapping from the rear end, ive replaced my rear shock top mounts. Nice and quite now, less wobbly too.
