  1. Bondo only goes on bare metal with a course scratch of 80 grit of courser. Do it everyday
  2. Damn, I asked the gf if she wanted to be spontaneous and go yesterday but now I'm kinda glad we stayed in athens
  3. What year is it? im gonna take a shot in the dark and say a mid 90's? Straight from I-cars website, all the service and technical info Technical Information: Airbag Parts Replacement Recommendations 1997 Saturn SC PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING DEPLOYMENT * Airbag modules * Sensing and diagnostic module * Any damaged restraint system part CAUTION: Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that all parts in need of replacement are replaced: Replace any seat belt system that was in use during a collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages. Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components, if any. Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a yellow tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt system if only the child seat caution label is visible. Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any restraint system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints and booster seats. Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with the buckle, guide and retractor assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material. After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged. PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED * Steering wheel, column, and column foam energy absorber * Clock spring * Knee bolsters and instrument panel mounting points * Front seats * Wiring harness and connectors * Any restraint system part or wiring identified by diagnostic check DISABLE PROCEDURE AND TIME (Always Check the Service Manual) * Make sure vehicle wheels are pointing straight ahead. * Turn ignition switch to LOCK and remove key. * Remove airbag fuse from instrument panel fuse block. * Remove connector lock and disconnect yellow 2-way connector near base of steering column for driver airbag. * Remove upper trim panel, insulator, and connector lock and disconnect yellow 2-way connector for passenger airbag. * No wait time if airbags are disconnected from deployment loop as listed above. Print Version Start New Search The Airbag Parts Replacement Recommendations chart is designed as an aid to damage appraisal, and an initial guide to vehicle-specific airbag system repair after a deployment. The chart covers production vehicles sold in the United States. Because of the many changes that are occurring in airbag systems, there may be some exceptions to the chart. This chart is NOT intended to replace the service manual. A service manual is REQUIRED when making any airbag system repairs. The only way to determine if an airbag system is working properly is to observe the airbag warning lamp on the instrument panel. When the key is switched ON, the airbag lamp should light for a few seconds. This is important because it indicates that the lamp is working. If after a few seconds the lamp goes out, the system is working properly. If the lamp stays lit, a problem exists. The "Replace" and "Inspect" columns list parts that must be replaced and inspected following an airbag deployment. The parts in the "Replace" column must be replaced regardless of their condition. If airbag parts in the "Inspect" column are found to be damaged or faulty, replacement with new parts is generally the only option.
  4. Damn boss! That thing looks a thousand times different from when you first got it. I approve this message
  5. I have a 2000 f150, did the same thing. Dealer or salvage yard?
  6. I shot 3d last year. Not so much time anymore to do that. I shoot a martin with goldtip arrows. Nothing too special but I do like to shoot. My brother is big into archery. He shoots a matthews (dunno the model) and has done tournaments for years. Good healthy sport to be into sorry for the ramble talk, I'm kinda drunk
  7. I had a crazy rush from c-4. Took i think two scoops and went to town AFTER being almost all the way through my workout. Def recommend this
  8. If you want it to last and not flake off like a bunch of idiots painted wheels, I'd follow the steps i posted earlier, guaranteed to last i promise you. It wont be easy or low budget because paint supplies are expensive
  9. I think 400 grit is a little fine. You can use 180 and do scratch reduction afterwards. 180 to 240 to 400. Clean thoroughly with soap and water, use wax and grease remover and a dry towel to wipe down, then wipe down with a wet rag to make sure all the solvent is off and to prevent solvent popping in your paint. Prime and sand with 240 to ensure a smooth surface, blow dust off with an air gun, clean with wax and grease remover, then wipe with a wet rag again. Spray two coats of sealer, color, then clear with appropriate flash times between each coat. Then detail after to remove any dirt that got in the paint, and polish to finish best of luck
  10. 6th grade social studies, completely oblivious to what the twin towers were. I'll never forget what I saw that day
  11. I take it no 100.4s? i was waiting for this deal to come along, darn. Hell of a deal though, on great amps
  12. Ive ordered from them before and one of the few websites i will order from. 100% well ran company in my opinion
  13. Americans as a majority, view cars as disposable. Something goes wrong and they get say a 2 grand bill to fix what minor problem it is even with financing, they view it as the car going to shit. Trade it in, and monthly payments for a new or slightly used car is ideal for them. Idk why people prefer to live in debt when they can save more money keeping an older vehicle running. Me, I've had my truck since i was 16, and have kept it in running order. Its now got 206K original miles (2000 F150) with OE motor and tranny. Maintenance and care is key Edit: I'm now 21
  14. Matching clearcoat is called blending. Essentially you will sand the panel an all adjacent panels and shoot clear over it all. Basically sand with 1500 grit to scuff the old clear, clean and shoot. Wet sand with a block to take out any runs and then buff and will look legit. PM me if you need any help Edit: sorry misread. HVLP gun ftw will be the best. very hard to get a clean coat out of a can.
  15. Ok so you're running an extra load on top of the normal loads your car runs. There will be a dip in power. Without electrical upgrades i.e. a bigger battery or going crazier with a H/O alternator you will notice voltage drop. I put a Shuriken battery in my truck an noticed better performance out of my audio. Your battery is probably what, 700 CCA? If that? I've heard of 1 CCA for every rms youre running. So my suggestion would be upgrade your battery to what rms you'll be running plus some reserve for extra loads in your car such as lights and what not
  16. I'm looking for a sundown 100.4 in quality condition to run a pair of 8" mid bass and a pair of super tweeters. Looking to spend under $300
  17. Wheel balance, wheel balance, wheel balance. Do you feel it in the steering wheel? If you do its front tires. if its your seats, its rear tires. Alignment does not cause a vibration (unless it's way out of spec). Look at the tires. Abnormal wear is an alignment. Choppy tread blocks (cupping) is wheel balance. Alignments can cause a shimmy in the steering wheel. If so then its an alignment. I'd say start with a balance because its cheaper, then if that dont fix it do the alignment.
  18. They still have to send the head off to make sure it didnt warp or anything.
  19. you don't have to be a computer nerd to know how to read, or not be a complete retard in general. you heard me thats all that matters! if this is another damn "smartass internet toughguy" site just delete my shit I dont do the middle school drama like I said Im new here tryin to figure it all out so how bout hoppin off my nuts I'd apreciate it. just tryin to learn to do my sterio stuff myself no smart comments needed. thanks They're basically saying this is in the wrong section.
