I just put my hands at 9 and 3 and rocked back and forth with a decent amount of force maybe ten or fifteen times then it came off. Car was completely stock, it had never been removed before. Nothing was damaged either.
Plus, you never know when some dumbass PO slammed the brakes and spilled coffee or something all over the steering column, bonding the wheel on forever.
So the little wire stalk was being a *** and not letting the adapter seat all the way.
I tried to just cut the plastic stalk, but the wires are molded to it internally. Then i tried to demold them. It turns out the are crimped to a ribbon strip. Which means you cant bend it more than twice before it fails.
So I soldered a wire to it and made a silicone strain relief.
Which then allowed me to pass the wire through the adapter and to the quick release. I can now drive this car with my work boots on!
So now the car makes this hideous beeping. Im assuming its upset about the airbag. Do we just pull the fuse?
"NRG" rad panel....
I had to bend the lip more and crushed the emblem in the process. It was going to be removed anyhow.
Still waiting on a horn button. Youd think I ordered from Begi or something.
I was able to get a deal on redhorse hose and fittings, so thats what I went with. Im very pleased with the quality of these fittings, they are beautiful. Nylon hose ftw.
I have a small gap between the rad panel and the rad, and other tings im sure. So I found this self adhesive silicone foam tape on amazon, and its really affordable, not to mention, good to 500*, and that includes the adhesive. So I can stick this **** directly to the rad!
Im looking to setup knock control with megasquirt. Is there any reason I cant use the NB knock sensor, off the 99 motor I have, on the 1.6? The boss is already there on the 1.6 block, assuming its the right thread and clears the oil pressure sender can, it will bolt up. But is the NB sensor tuned to 1.8L bore? will my 1.6 *** that up? Can the MS be tuned for it? Or do I just buy the Bosch sensor?
