    1999 model does not have a cable. Probably just your speedo making racket. You can take it apart and carefully lube it, but too much will mess things up.

    Nah, some Light force Striker 170 HID's will be going in there some day. Just have other stuff to buy before that ;)
    Yup, love them so far too! Was a pain to set the prop because of the tubing on the bumper plus I'm short :eek:












    Also got the new, longer B.A.M.F BPV bracket installed. It's nice to have rear brakes again haha the old one is for sale if anybody wants it....

    Too bad you aren't in the area anymore. I'd help you get your CVs re-booted.

    :pout:

    New inner seals and a new carrier bearing too, right? :)

    I would still buy a new set, don't know which ones I want yet though. I want to buy some with high angle boots already installed, then throw some high angle boots plus the boot slide mod on my OEM ones for spares.

    Yeah, I just did the boot slide mod. I've thought about the Lotus CV axles or possibly going locking hubs (especially since I think it is getting near time to do the wheel bearings). I have had to start being judicious about which mods to do. Maybe after I get a house and tool up the garage I'll dive in to some craziness.

    I just stuffed an ear plug into the cherper's hole. It's pretty well muted. You can hear it from about 5 feet away.
