I really like your new tails. I just might have to break down and get me some Mind if I ask where you got them?

[FallinApartBoy]

thank you LN. alot of people didnt like them. i just bought them off ebay though. it was around $150 shipped. but if you get them PM me before you install them so i can give you some tips. it wasnt too easy.

[Lnzbug]

I'll take a peek at ebay tomorrow, see what's out there. If I do get any I'll pm you for the step by step hints. Thanks

very nice car!!! i LOVVVEEEE the color!

i am really interested in getting those LED lights as well! i think i want the black altezzas, though.


were they hard to install? would you mind giving me instructions on how you did it?

[The Cheat]

that's an awv???

no flippin' way!

isn't that, like one of twenty or something ever made with the awv?

i wanted a vortex when i was shopping back in 2001 for my first nb, but all the ones i found were aph. knowing full well the awv's had the k03s, that's what i wanted, so i ended up going with cool white. anyhoo, nice to know there's a few awv's out there, and if you EVER sell, i want dibs!

[FallinApartBoy]

yes cheat. at least it says AWV in the trunk area. i dont know any other way of telling. i didnt know when i bought it that it was. or anything else about it for that matter. but i have heard 1 of 40.

BUMP!! for new clutch!!

[Lnzbug]

I'm going to need one soon. It's slipping more and more Tell me how hard it is to change and also what clutch you put in.

[FallinApartBoy]

i put in a ECS Tuning Stage 1 with a 14lb flywheel. very nice. the clutch feels like a feather and grabs REAL quick. i did it in a friends shop. he let us use his air tools (which you will need) and his lift and a tranny jack. it wasnt too bad. a lot of lifting and setting down to see what all we needed to take out. the tranny itself only had like 8 bolts or something but we had to disconnect the linkage, pull the battery and airbox, pull 2 tranny mounts, pull the axels, the drivers side brakes, part of the power steering, and not sure what else. it was just annoying not hard. air tools. and you will need the triple square bits, a 1 and 3/8 12 sides socket, and air tools.

[Lnzbug]

Thanks, I'll remember that when he goes to do it. He'll wait till summer, it's too cold now.
