Oreo931 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Pretty sure 1 or both of the ballasts went bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5power Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 tossed my car up on the lift to figure out why i was getting play in the steering, come to find out the Flex joint on the control arm is shot. also, my inner tie rod is beginning to show some wear. and i need a new passenger axle. luckily the latter 2 i already have. ordered a control arm from ipd today, along with a poly bushing and plugs. but i still cannot find any cracks or splits along the evap lines running underneath the car :monkey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C70drvr Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Topped off the brake fluid. Reassured myself that yes, it can still go fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64pvolvo1800 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Pretty sure 1 or both of the ballasts went bad. Adam, I have two ballasts, and bulbs for that matter, from Sharp that I took out when I went to the 2004 C jewels. I doubt I put them back in since I really like the jewels. If you can use them, make me an offer. I'm leaving the country fo a couple weeks or more shortly, so it will have to wait a little while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Fucking DDM 3k HID fogs are busted. Shoulda bought sharpHID. Yeah, I've noticed my headlights seem to be getting dimmer, and I bought from DDM as well. Good thing I spent the money on PIAA fog light bulbs, to have them yellow. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost3237 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 changed from 3 zipties and a ball point pen holding the plastic shift collar in place to cutting and bending 3" of a dip stick and using 1 diesel arse zip tie. So now I can shift into 1st and 2nd.. w00t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beadgc23 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Rear springs (Kilen), oil change (failed to spill any by some miracle, breaking my previously perfect drive anointing habit), finally satisfied myself that the RMS job isn't leaking. Bought Guinness to celebrate, and Baja for the PS3 to kill an evening with my offspring. Car looks low & mean, very satisfying in a slinky kind of way.
