Update from this week.
Fixed the drivers side window that fell of track again. Fixed a couple of the de-laminated clips on the door panel.
My brother took my CD changer apart and fixed that for me. I have a working CD player now I just need to burn more CDs. lol.
Also thinking of picking this up. https://www.amazon.com/Roidmi-2S-Wir...eywords=roidme
Anyone have one? It'd be nice if it could fit flush in the lighter hole so I could close the ash tray while it's plugged in.
Vehicle got new injector O-rings and clips last weekend.

Update from a couple of month ago. New radiator installed. Old one didn't look so good, and had a small leak. New coolant sensor. New lower PSI radiator cap.

Broke 210k.
Quick update.
216k and counting. Found this roof rack that I couldn’t pass up. If anyone has a lead on a wind deflector, let me know.

Looks like I hadn’t updated the thread in a long time.
Changed the fuel filter, and fixed the broken gas door.
Threw some used, but better condition shocks on the car.
Mines done 318k kms now, so it's youngin' compared to yours.
On the last page (which is way back in 2015), what was the hammer for when doing your heater core
Any guide you followed when taking everything apart to get to it?
My heater core is probably alright but I want to inspect it, clean it, check the vent linkages and replace the o rings.
Haha, I have no idea. I was probably threatening the heater core.
I did follow a guide, although I don't remember the exact one. Did a quick google search, this one seems to be well written.

It's a lot of work to just check and replace O-rings. I would not do it unless you have signs of a leak.
This seems like a hot topic in the section right now.
I changed mine last year myself, but it's the RTABs that were the biggest job* and the most likely very worn.
*paid a shop to fit kmacs because I didn't want to deal with them, or ever again.
I ordered the RTAB Bushings, but I think there was a shipping mix up and I didn't get them in time. Which is ok, because the sub frame bushings took longer than anticipated. Bushing removal tool would have been nice, but I didn't want to buy it to do the job one time. Dog Bones were easy, which was refreshing. I'll do the RTABs down the road, I should have the parts this week.
Man, if some of you are contemplating about doing the subframe bushigns or dog bones, just DO IT. The difference is phenomenal.
