there is a small hook on the connector. I attached a straight wire to that hook and carefully connected male to female

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

He used the blue tooth connection he put in Shannon, so it may not have gone through.Originally Posted by RamAirZ
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Ya for some reason her bluetooth setup isn't working very well. I'll have to work on that

Needs a longer antenna. Did you get the kit, just cause it said blue tooth ready, you still have to buy the mic and adapter.
Super VXer
well that probably explains it. Had another friend tell me today that an engine needs fuel, I never realized that. Interesting theories...

Ok, got a little more done this week. The motor is out and disassembled. As was suspected the bearing on the front passenger side piston was spun and scored the crank. I am concerned I may be buying a new crank. I'll drop it all off to the machine shop tomorrow and get the final verdict. You can still see cross hatching in all the cylinders but the front cylinder on the drivers side has a scored place in it.

Well the engine is at the machine shop, new crank has arrived and the tranny is out getting freshened up. While all that is happening, I am left to address rust and grime.

I am trying to decide now if I should replace sway bars or not.

Sand and paint or powder coat? Would that stay on a bar that flexes like the sway bar?
You've got some serious rust under the front end. Are you scuffing and rattle-can-ing or have some other fix in mind? I need to do this on mine. The front bumper bar is completely rusted out, and I need to get it out of my VX and do some sanding and painting.

I am using Master Series Coating that RamAirZ turned me on to. The wife and I are sanding, grinding, scraping all the rust we can find. Once that is done we will apply the coating. It is some good stuff that will stop rust and prevent it from returning.
CalMini sells new sway bars that are advertised as 40% stronger than stock but the price for the pair is 340.00. Kind of pricey but I have not priced OEM either. If I do not replace them I will take them to the powder coaters and let them blast and coat.
