hello everyone...
been away from internet for a few weeks (moved back home with ma and pa :()
i had to get a flatbed to tow my car here but since then ive fixed it up.
i mounted my new oil cooler (a tru-cool unit) directy under my licence plat=
e, half of it exposed in the bottom grill, the other half hidden by the bum=
per. its upside down so the oil going into the cooler gets the most air. it=
 uses rubber 3/8 hose which goes to two earl's -6 a.n. to 3/8 barb adapters=
, which connect to 16m x1.5 adapters. my car had (stock) 18mx1.5 to 16m x1.=
5 adapters. i thought the mc engines used 18m but i think mine might be spe=
cial in using the 16m (kh).
the metric adapters arent too perty... especially compared to the red and b=
lue aluminum piece from earls... but they look shiney and new and !dont lea=
k!
i purchased them from a local hydraulic shop. if anyone is having a hard ti=
me finding these parts (i did until i knew where to look) lemme know and il=
l help get them to you. i ended up paying a whopping $60 cdn... :(
at the same time i bought a badly needed boost gauge, but dont know where t=
o install it... i guess i could experiment with vacuum lines... but which o=
nes are best? do any of the ones from the wastegate work? im kinda baffled.=

i also put a new voltage regulator in which i think runs high 13s almost 14=
, which i got for $20 cdn made by unipoint. if anyone wants one of these to=
o ill get one fer ya :) my old one was so rusted it only worked 40% of the =
time :)
hopefully ill have some pics of my car and new oil lines soon...'
