I just checked mine this morning and low and behold it needs to be changed. There was a freaking dead bee in mine along with the standard leaves and whatnot.

What about you? Got anything goin on with your ride?
No problem. That's great that you are still getting somewhere. It'll come out nice in the end. I'll be waiting for some updates and some pictures (of your car, of course). lol. Good luck man.

Well, I finally got my camber kit yesterday and wasn't able to install it, because I don't have air tools. I'm trying to find a spot that will work on my lowered car and install the camber kit and then an alignment, preferably a lifetime alignment.
Um, that's basically it. I just got a job, so I may be spending my paychecks on the payments for this car and maybe some on parts. We'll see. lol.

I'd tell you how much it is at Kragen, but I don't remember how much I purchased it for.

Cool. I actually went today and purchased the deal. I guess it is worth it, considering that I'm lowered and might need frequent alignments.

Re: Replaced my cabin air filter, first time in 3 yrs.

alot of people take theirs out. cause if you think about it, you will always have the best airflow. and its no different than driving with your windows open. older cars didnt even come with em. its mainly for people with bad allergies that drive with window closed all the time.

Re: Replaced my cabin air filter, first time in 3 yrs.

yea to my knowledge you just open the glove box and pull the tabs on the sides of the glove box and pull towards you and then the filters should be right there... now do it yourself

naw but seriously i think thats all you have to do. at least thats what someone said that they are located there in a previous post.

Depending where you go they will either be cheap or expensive. I work at a lube shop and I know that Cabin filters they make a lot of money off of. On average they call Cabin filters for about $60. They are right behind the glove box. Get the two tabs out on the side and you can get access to it real easy. If you leave the cabins a long time you are risking blowing your fan motor. If you dont want to buy new ones just vacum them or out something.
