Basically they made it so everyone gets a fee for any payment unless it is a "personal" money transfer using either their PP account or bank account. Apparently when you do it the personal way instead of the other way, it doesn't give the recipient a shipping address so u have to make that arrangement in either a note in the payment or via PM or whatever. Even premier account holders don't get fined for personal, bank account payments.

Damn doods, celebs dropping like flies, I think the scientology UFO is picking them up - or in Michaels case he went back home.

This weekend I had two offers come up on my ED,

one friend wants to trade a 99 integra LS for it (clean, one owner, AC, power everything, 5 spd, leather, intake, header, gc/koni susp, low mileage)

another wants to trade a 2002 Tundra SR5 V8 TRD package for it

I am thinking about it. Lord knows I could actually use the Tundra and the teg would be a decent daily. Opinions?

Trading a '02 Tundra for an ED? Is your ED pretty fixed up? I know my '03 Tundra v8 is barely holding value of about $9,000

Nah, it's not that done up, B16 swap, koni/gc susp, NS strut bar, rear generic bar, ST sway, Sparco seat, old a$$ trust exhaust, quick release, generic steering wheel for now, new tires, clean interior, oe mudflaps all around, oe floor mats all around, new dist, alt, axles, gaskets, Jackson Supercharger.

He just wants out of his truck bad. He has another and lets me borrow the Tundra a lot anyway. Plus I'd still get to see and work on the civic, lol.

guys, my steering wheel is cocked to the left. how to I make it straight? It was pulling left a bit, but I went and turned the steering wheel straight and adjusted the toe as best I could by eyeballing it, and it drives straight now but the damn wheel is still cocked! I hate this. Is there something on the rack I have to adjust or do I need to turn the wheel to the same position on the opposite side and adjust toe from there???

I'd go for that Tundra then!!!


As for your wheel, do this: Unbolt 19mm bolt holding wheel or hub on.

Drive down road straight at a safe speed (15-20mph), take wheel off, turn, and put back on. Do this until it's straight or you hit a parked car.

Get it aligned properly, if u move the steering wheel then you arent exactly in the middle of the rack when going straight.

Hahaha, yeah, that's straight ghetto advice, but my car gets aligned all the time (and I take my dash out just as much thus requiring me to remove the hub, grrrrr). If you JUST got it aligned then my idea isn't that bad. Just move it over a couple splines and you're good to go.

If you haven't had your car aligned in a while then Chemist's advice is the most logical.

Dude, i would bitch and or get it fixed or refunded. The car should track straight after alignment, and if it does, pull hte wheel and adjust it a couple splines until its good.

Yea I plan to take it back on Wednesday morning. I have a lifetime Warranty alignment plan with firestone so it doesn't cost me anythng. If I just pull the wheel and put it back on at a straight angle, won't that change how far I can turn the wheels in either direction?

measure it, i figured out how many turns lock to lock it was divided by two and installed my mugen wheel and hub there, it was off center by about 100 degrees, got it aligned and all is well now. Ive had a bad experience with firestone, they just seem not to car about lowered cars. I payed 150 to have my car setup, caster camber front and rear toe, and couldnt be more happier.

BTW my girlfriend just surprised me with a mugen shift ****, shes a keeper.
