I was supposed to do a valve adjustment today but no, I spent 6 hrs of my day chasing a vaccum leak on my other car. After dis-assembling and assembling the intake manifold numerous times, it turned out to be 3 leaking fuel injectors. I completely forgot they can have vaccum leaks aswelll....although not as common.

beggars can't be choosers :lawl:

especially when you're buying a 10+ year old car and didn't have the option to buy it brand new and when 90% are autos :lawl:

get it cheap enough...manual swap :lawl:

almost started my valve adjustment.
last summer, went to adjust my valves...they were all in spec :poke: 140-something thousand miles :poke:

He does... :hide:

Today I balanced my tires and moved the flat spotted ones to the back.... only got up to 50 on the way home so I don't know if they're okay at high speed yet... seem fine though.

Saving $340 on tires = WIN!
