Need help!
I got the car back yesterday afternoon from Rusty and happy to report that all body panels are tight now.
Yesterday all the new brake parts arrived. Thanks Pete for a great tip about partsgeek, $205 for 4 rotors and Akebono pads with shipping .
I need help just for a good company actually for I can do all the brake/clutch fluid flushing (thanks Harbor Freight), rotors and pads changes. It just makes it so much more fun to do all these with somebody who knows what I'm doing cuz I may not.
Oh, and now everything is tight there is a new clunking sound from underneath the car during a very low speed run and on rough roads and turns, mostly from right side. I'm thinking, it's the after market supensions, or the Gendron end links but a good set of different ears will definitely narrow it down. Exhaust is not rubbing or hitting BTW.
My place or your place or Quantico hobby shop on Saturday morning. Any volunteer? I promised a good Filipino meal and a fun company (me
).
Thanks in advance folks.

Hey Ron! I would love to come up but my gf birthday is this weekend... I am always not there for her during weekends because of working on cars and stuff, so if I'll do the same for her bday weekend I'm pretty sure she'll be upset.
BTW, if you going to have the car up on the lift in the shop, check all of the suspension bolts. It is relatively easy and might direct you to the source of the noise.

^^^A 200* thermostat would barely ever open on a mildly modified f20/f22. Even with the ptuning turbo kit pushing it hard on track for 20-25 minutes I was getting peak temperatures of 230*. On the street my temperatures always stayed around 200-205.
Also, I'm with Matt on Setrab oil coolers. They're not overly expensive and they're great quality.
