Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Looks good! If youre cheap and dont want to buy a plug you could put the tape on the inside and use touch up paint to paint it white. Did that on my 2g and didnt look the best but didnt look horrible

I went with the Home Depot household black plug. Some RTV from the underside and you're all set to go.

FYI your car needs to look as clean under the hood as Leisure's does when you're done with it...

Hmmm, I can't remember if I can get that condenser to fit with my FMIC. If someone knows that it will fit, I'm interested in the AC stuff.

I have a 4" FP core and all the AC stuff still in place.

bah, DSMs don't need AC.

Steve, you can have the A/C stuff if you want. I wasn't really expecting to get anything for it, and it fan be used by someone that's cool.

After looking around for different options, this may be the route I go. Looks like the 2g ones are 25mm.

I forgot what I did.
I took a body plug and it fit perfect. that with some weatherstripping adhesive and its perfect.

Shitty weather this weekend, so I just putzed around with my motor mount inserts I got for xmas. Well 3 or them anyways, I didn't want to take the wheel off outside to get the passenger side one off the car. I will do that once weather is nicer outside.


The sawzall made pretty quick work of getting the rubber junk out as well as the metal rings that need to be cut out.

(This one was a bit of a whore because it isn't two pieces, and it has to be pressed in. I eventually got it with lots of lube (TWSS) and the bench vice.)
