edit

ok did some more research and my new question is.....is it hard to change it yourself or should i take it to a shop? i did most of my work on my last car which was a dc4 but there were alot of diy threads for what i needed to do. ]]> Suspension | Wheels | Tires vennivettivecci http://www.ephatch.com/forum//showthread.php?58522-think-before-you-buy. http://www.ephatch.com/forum//showthread.php?58514-Clicking-Clunking-noise-coming-from-the-front-HELP!&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:43:49 GMT Hey guys looking for some help, I have a slight clicking in the front end near my tie rod ends.

i need some help with installing the rear sway bar. So my situation is i screwed the 4 12mm screws to secure the bar to the body of the car, but 3 of the 4 broke off. The 14mm ones on the ends are okay they are secure. But what could I do to fix this? Could i take it a machine shop to just weld the bar to the body or could i somehow remove the ends of the screws from the threading? If the second option is possible how can i do this? ]]> Suspension | Wheels | Tires good http://www.ephatch.com/forum//showthread.php?58506-need-some-help-with-rear-sway-bar http://www.ephatch.com/forum//showthread.php?58505-Question-about-ShowStoppers-Mugen-Rep-Spoiler&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:19:48 GMT I bought one BNIB from a guy not too far from here, and I'm kinda curious about what these are for/where they go



They were taped to the bubble wrap with the foam for sealing up the bolts.

Any idea??

I doubt it, but I just want to make sure.

P0303: Cylinder 3 misfire

I changed the spark plug and reset the ECU. No obvious faults on the spark plug, except it looked slightly burnt out. At low RPM the light will not come on, but every once in awhile when I'm passing someone my CEL flashes again. :mconfused:

I'm assuming it's the same problem. My next step is to just outright replace the coilpack.
