I think you should get an act. ACT's have always worked out for me. Your car looks good. on the armrest. if you dont want it, slang it this way.

when you were turning, was it clicking? use another analogy other than hearing a bending sound.

-On the pillar removal, just tug on it. It is only held on by clips.
-If I were you, I would get an oem replacement clutch cause you really dont need anything more. My brother got Exedy oem replacement clutch from clutchcityonline.com for $100 shipped. It is a kit so it comes with the throwout bearing and alignment tool also.

Welcome!

Really the only way to check the cooling fan is to let the car run until it gets hot. The fan should cut on when the car gets to about 200 degrees. put a multimeter on the wires coming to the fan motor when it gets hot to see if there is power going to the motor. if there is 12 volts present, change the fan motor. If not, look behind the motor where the oil filter is located. there is a small plug next to the filter where the block temp sensor it. make sure it is plugged in. if it is not plugged in or faulty, the fan will not cut on.

BTW nice rex. I am looking for a A/C-heater control panel and i see you have an intact one. if you ever feel the need to get rid of it let me know......

keep it clean and save up for a swap
