I've Google mapped myself a new route to try tomorrow it's a few extra Km's but it's a side road so I can go slow and P&G if I'm feeling like it and no one should care

Man this picture would make a GREAT poster!!!
Nice effects!

Yeah I should get it printed. My wife took it. Her watermark is in the corner there.

She posts photos almost daily, on Flickr
She's on Facebook and Twitter too @dynamiceyephoto

So I ordered parts for my firefly today
All things my car needs.
*Front brake pads, rotors, hardware
*timing belt and tensioner pulley
*seals, crankshaft & camshaft front and rear
*coolant thermostat w/seals
*distributor cap & rotor
*fuel injector o-rings
*air, oil, fuel filter
From Buy Auto Parts Online from Canada Good prices and brands
CAN'T WAIT it will be here next week!!

I purposely left out rear brakes so I can add things like caliper guide pins or anything else I discover I need on a second order and can still get free shipping.

P.S. when I install it all, do you think I should post it on this thread or start a new one?

[deejaaa]

I would post it here and call it a build thread. would be easier to find.

[Geofly]

How do I "call it a build thread"?

I saw on my garage page I can add a URL there for a build thread would that be all. Or do I need to rename it or something?

[deejaaa]

pm the mod. ask for a change. it's up to you.

WD-40 is not a penetrating oil. Aero Kroyl, or PB Blaster, are. I think there was a homemade penetrant from ATF and acetone which was also very effective.

You can rename the thread if you'd like, but there is nothing specifically that makes it a build thread other than the contents.

If you want to add the thread to your garage, just copy the thread id number from the URL and paste it into the build thread text box.

So, for example your thread URL is:

http ://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/new-serious-ecomodding-starting-canfly-33621.html

The ID number is 33621. Copy and paste that into the "Build Thread (thread id)" and it'll link to this thread.
