    Installed a radiator panel thing. Didn't have enough daylight to start on the Roadster Tech window guides.

    Yesterday, I found a driver side door-shell online with matching montego blue paint, so I bought it. I'm not planning on installing it until I'm ready for a paint job. I have two dented up doors, so I still need to save up for the passenger side.

    crappy picture but I got her back last night.



    Sadly all is not well. She idles like crap I have to floor it and crank it a few times to even get her to start, then she will want to stall, then Idle at about 2500rpm before after 15 mins start acting correctly.... thing is my morning drive to work is about 10 mins so daily driving this thing is a nightmare. The mechanic says its a good chance its the Coolant temp sensor in the back of the head. I've already got one on its way to me. If not I'm going to drop it off at the shop and tell them not to call till they fix it. (in all fairness they are fine with me doing that and told me if its not the temp sensor that they will fix it)

    I'll also say when it is running right its a blast totally gives me what I wanted from it I just want to tuck a few things away and get some black hoses.

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble with this. Don't let them get away with doing crappy work. There is no reason for that thing to run bad or for them not to be able to figure it out in 3 minutes. It could be a temp sensor but they never should have let it out of the shop with it like that. It's not rocket science or even a big rocket. It ticks me off that a paid mechanic did that to you, that gives us all a bad name! Keep after them and learn enough to know when they are giving you the run around.

    As for hoses blue is not only more practical it's more manly too so don't change them!

    In all fairness they are being more then cooperative but it means that until I get this new sensor tomorrow I'm kinda stuck with a lame duck. I actually really hope it is the sensor as it will just take me about 10 mins to throw on and I'll get to blast off for some boost filled fun. Just sucks that its a good 2 hour drive and an epic train ride back.

    Drove her back home to Tennessee from Kentucky, where she's been with the second owner for the past few years.

    Yes! I think i'll even do a ownership-thread. It is pretty much done for my use;

    '93 1.6
    Torsen 4.1
    Hard Dog M2 with harness bar
    Updated discs and pads
    Tan interior
    Momo Type 035 steering wheel
    R-package spoiler-kit with a (not) KG-Works boot spoiler

    I will update the suspension and fit sway bars for sharper handling.
    And, something something Rotrex with Tüv available in Germany
    '9 3 B R G
