Oh, pretty!
After Martin (greddygalant) absolutely destroyed me in his 300hp FWD Galant, I seriously want boost. But that's not happening for a LONG time. Maintenance, debt, house, and babies come first. So probably no boost.

Lol, I get it, you posted my mom last night. WITH YOUR POST.
In other news, I fixed a few issues this morning. First was a broken seat. Martin and I went on some back roads yesterday, and during it's first doughnut under my ownership, the driver seat back promptly collapsed. Found a sheared pivot bolt. Drilling out was fruitless, especially after breaking a drill bit. Luckily this morning I found the tip of the drill had fallen out, and I was able to drill the m6x1 hole out for a m8x1.25 bolt. Problem solved.
I also reconditioned a few plastic bits there were bugging me, including the piece behind the door and the softop handle. Drastic difference between old and new.

Thanks Rev, it's a hoot so far. I just finished browsing through Bucky's thread actually. If it weren't for the busted motor mounts, shift boot holes, brown radiator, leaking front main, sloppy diff mounts, and need for an alignment, I'd probably be looking more closely at gauges, stripes, and of course RPF-1s

I've ordered a complete wiring diagram book for my '04, which I should be receiving within a week or so.
