Just replaced my leaking throttlebody shaft seals today too!

Nice! I did the same as well.

Last night I pulled the throttle body again to install the FIAV bypass plate. Not the full block off as I want to keep the ISC. After the cold start this morning I realized this is one of those things I should have done a long time ago.

Ya know, I was just thinking of this thing today. When you got the shell from Jason, did it come with a FMIC? I sold it to him with that big Dejon Tool FMIC that came off swifty's old 1g (Shawn's car now). I picked up that VRSF one on here a few days ago and I thought Richie said you had showed interest in it as well.

Yeah, it came with 2 actually. The big Dejon tool one, and a brand new ebayish one which was smaller but had long route side exits. I ended up using the smaller of the 2 since I was just 14b and it was shinier and new. But now I want to go short route piping. I ended up selling or trading Swiftys old one. I think gsxvince has it now, I'm not sure though.

Picked up this "mint condition, no cracks, or stripped screw holes" valve cover last night from a guy on craigslist. It has fresh wrinkle black paint on it. I got home and inspected it further and found what I thought was a hairline crack next to the #2 spark plug hole bolt but wasn't sure if it was an actual crack. Installed it very carefully making sure not to over torque any bolts or make the suspected crack worse. Sure enough it leaks at that spot.

The douche bag painted right over the crack and sold it as "mint condition".
His phone number is (612) 296-2504 and lives near the Cub foods on Hwy 65 in Blaine. Anybody know him? Guy is being a total prick when I told him about the crack.

and yeah, yeah I know. Thats what I get for buying used parts from craigslist.

Ah I see. Shitty about the valve cover!

God what up with people doing that. I had that happen to me while I was trying to find a non cracked VC.. now I have some nice wall art.

Not to far from me. Sucks.

I installed the clear corner lights, much better than the orange ones! Now I need a nice set of headlight assemblies, but they seem hard to find. Also painted the wheels black a while back.

A couple months back my trans failed. So I swapped in a stock trans. The stock trans had a grind into 2nd gear, eventually developed a whine noise while cruising, no noise on decel but a nasty whine at part throttle while cruising in any gear. The noise got worse and worse and basically now the trans sounds like a box of rocks. So f this car I'm driving my saturn now.
