    Why You Should Use Headlight Film

    I bought Lamin-X clear headlight film back in September 2010, and after almost seven years of abuse, it was looking a little rough. So I peeled it off and replaced it. The condition of the headlights underneath the film was astounding. I did absolutely no polishing of the headlights...

    Shifter Seized in 1st Gear

    You should be able to shift OUT of gear anytime, whether the clutch is disengaged or not. With the engine off you should also be able to shift INTO any gear pretty easily without pressing on the clutch. Like @5doorsoffury said, disconnect the shifter cable linkages at the trans, and see if you...

    [SOLVED] DTA Axles and Slide Hammer Tools

    Nope. I kept it for my fellow Nators if they ever needed it. But otherwise, hell yea I'd return it modified. It's not like it would render the tool useless to other people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    [SOLVED] DTA Axles and Slide Hammer Tools

    I can't take credit for the idea of jacking the car up at an angle. My fellow Nator IL peeps told me about that one.

    [SOLVED] DTA Axles and Slide Hammer Tools

    My OE axle didn't have that retaining ring, either. Pulling on the shaft wouldn't have worked for me.

    [SOLVED] DTA Axles and Slide Hammer Tools

    When is a Turbo too Big?

    I'd rather hop on the "not in debt up to my eyeballs due to buying car parts" train. Even more hipster around here; literally NOBODY is doing it!

    A discussion on mitigating engine bay heat

    You're missing the pushpins then. All Gen 1's came from the factory with two pushpins in addition to the seven bolts. They're only to help with alignment and holding the undertray in place while you bolt / unbolt it, so don't worry about them being missing.
