    Nick.. do it.. My new set started squeaking and I gave them the pissed off driver beating for a day or two. No more noise.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Currently:
    Need to finish rebuilding the heads, put them on, LIM, SC, all the wiring and vacuum lines, plus everything else taken off to do the cam swap.

    Trunk needs to finish being shaved, and the new spoiler needs to be painted and mounted.

    I'm happy to say almost nothing is wrong with my car, after spending tons of time and not too much money on it(surprisingly, I've replaced a LOT, but I bought everything online and did it myself, saving thousands)

    All it needs is new front wheel bearings and struts and it's a done deal. Ehh, and maybe new tie rod ends and lca bushings if wanted to be picky.

    Drivers rocker panel is pretty rusted
    Slow oil leak from somewhere...I'm guessing VC gaskets...I smell it burning every once in a while, and see a bit on my garage floor.
    Knocks from the front corners - guessing LCA bushings or strut mounts
    PS whine...kinda sounds like a SC, but I'm NA
    Getting some rust pimples under my fuel filler door (anyone know what color I need to match bronzemist metallic? lol)
    tail lights look like absolute crap
    Rear end is starting to sag...it's an '01 with 100k still on factory suspension...might be getting a bit tired...lol
    Ummm...I think that's about it...

    @loopy smurf: that ps pump is an eiho(sp?) de puta (son of a b1tch), i had to change mine twice because the first time the high pressure line unthreaded itself and completely drained it. it made some noise with ps fluid the first time, so the second time i drained alot out of th whole system (unfortunately not as much as i wanted though) and filled with red atf. perfectly quiet. also dont overtighten the bolts, i snapped the top one (ugh)

    Getting false abs pump activation. Occurs intermittently when accelerating from a stop with the steering wheel turned. No dtc are setting. Plan is to record a snapshot with a scan tool when it occurs...then plot the data on a computer and watch for which abs signal is dropping out. Will inspect the wheel speed sensor for that wheel and replace the wiring first and if that don't fix it, the hub.

    on my list of things to do to the 98.

    Fixes needed ASAP
    -Sunroof Repair (just doesn't seat right, want to have it done before winter sets in)
    -Figuring out the ABS and Trac control and what is triggering it to shut down.
    -Window motor replacements.

    Undecided
    -whether to attempt to remove the window tinting that the car came with. Really don't need the fuzz being a pest. Think it is more than allowed in my state.
    -Getting the rear spoiler touched up and a few extremely minor dents and marks dealt with.
