Anyone wanna come help? :[

[charlie321]

Meh, i feel bad for buying my sil-eighty, i think i got ripped... I don't know much, anyone wanna come take a look and tell me what you think? 562-756-8241, i appriciate it. Now my battery is dead. I'm in Long Beach. Plus, its great to meet 240 enthusiests lol.

[nismo-S14]

You're more than welcome to come meet up with me and my friend we both have S14's

[email protected] since I rarely read this forum.

[TAMTANIUM]

how much did you buy it for? and what did it come with?

Sorry to hear about that =(

[charlie321]

......................................

[DoriftoPnoy]

why's your exhaust facing inward? lol i honestly havnt seen that before.

[projekt_s13]

lol yea reminds me of Honda CRX exhausts. If your paid more then 3 k then u did get ripped IMO.

[Rayne]

If your paid more then 3 k then u did get ripped IMO.

Quoting for truth....I am hoping the previous owner didn't just rivet the rear over fenders on and do nothing with the body panel underneath. If that is the case....and you paid more than 3k....you got ripped.

The exhaust looks pathetic angled like that as well.

[FaLKoN240]

LOL that rear quarter panel has like NO work done to it, and there's probably a fatty dent underneith. That car is a bucket.

If you paid 700 you did good. That is considering IF it runs.

[!Zar!]

That car has enough fail for two.

Pointlessly relocated radio to dash.

I would say it was pointless to put the over fender on, but he's covering a fatty ass dent. You can't even run a wider tire because the fender wasn't cut.

That car has been repainted more times than Joan Rivers face.

You bought a car with the exhaust facing the wrong way. That wasn't an incentive not to purchase it?

I mean really, my exhaust is worth more than your whole car.


Enough of me telling you what is wrong with that thing.

Now I'll tell you what's wrong that you wanted to know.

Your battery is dead. How hard is it to get AAA or something to help you out.

Just because the battery died you think you got ripped off? That alone isn't a reason to.

But overall, you did.

[TAMTANIUM]

No need for anymore flaming guys. It's mistake and just let it be. Save up some money and fix up the car more.

I say you sell the silvia conversion. Fix the whole exhaust angle thing. Buy another battery. Just make the car nicer to daily for yourself.

[Vatche]

buy a new battery....

he prolly bought it for the silvia front, i say he starts off having the muffler turned or straightened at a muffler shop.

then he can cut the rear fenders later on. its a project. then he can read up on zilvia and learn to be normal and do all the bandwagon mods.

and in no way am i flaming.

[charlie321]

lol meh, i don't think i got ripped only because of the battery. i did get this car for 3100...

-The Spark Plugs are loose
-Fenders havn't been cut
-Intake Tubes are not tight
-Idle's around 1.4Rpm
-Guage Cluster Light doesn't work
-Driver seat latch broke
-Dead Battery

I just recently found out that the dude crashed the front end badly, and then put a new silvia front end to cover it up, it hasn't been reported -_-. Gah i'm so dumb, can't believe i bought this. Did i mention i'm only 15 years old?

[JSpecBnr32]

hey at least u have a sil front, widebody, and kouki's thats like $1300 right there

[charlie321]

i guess... but i need money to fix it up, i'm gonna try to sell my front end and get a udsm front end.

[zackt69]

How much you want for the front, plus a trade for my stock front end?

[charlie321]

pm me your number or call me 562-756-8241

[articdragon192]

Umm, hello, it's a manual. Push start that car!

[charlie321]

lol i don't really need to go anywhere

[articdragon192]

Push start to charge the battery. Also, whenever you do need a ride, like when you wanna go junkyarding with soreballz, you can take your own car too. Stop using the whole, my battery is dead, so I can't go anywhere excuse.

[charlie321]

how bout the excuse "I don't have a permit or license?"

[miucus]

why did you buy the car if you cant even drive it?

[charlie321]

who says i can't drive it

[articdragon192]

how bout the excuse "I don't have a permit or license?"

This does.

[Jung918]

That doesn't mean he can't drive. Just means he can't drive legally and it's only illegal if he gets caught.

[LB.Motoring]

ill trade you my taillights plus money for yours :D?

I need for my kouki replicaaaaaaaaaa!

[randyjordan]

wow...overfenders with stock wheels...LOL

the exhaust sucks..i'd rather have a stock one than that...

you could always just cut the muffler and reweld it on the right way

and about the battery...why dont you just jump it? or go to a autozone and have them charge you the battery...its free anyway so whats stopping you?

[DoriftoPnoy]

That doesn't mean he can't drive. Just means he can't drive legally and it's only illegal if he gets caught.
:werd:
i like driving gutted interiors with no dash to tell me how much gas i have or how fast im goin and no seat belts....:eek3d:

[charlie321]

i've driven my car on the track a few times, you don't need a license or permit...
autozone here won't charge it for me, they are mean lol

[Jung918]

:werd:

autozone here won't charge it for me, they are mean lol

Which car? BTW, push starting your car and driving it around for a bit will charge your battery. Easiest way to do so. Oh, and I'm sure a cop wont pull over a 15 year odl looking kid in a beat up 240 with a modded exhuast.

[charlie321]

lol man, just lol, uhh the sil-eighty is the only car i own lol...

[s13silvia88]

wow charlie321, not to flame you or nething, but that money u used to buy that car, you could of used it for school wen u go to college and gotten a good paying job, and perhaps by a S2000 or STI watever. Since you dont drive. u woulda had time to do that instead of rushing to buy a car that you are not happy with.

[charlie321]

lol, like i said, the car runs great, and i use it on the track, i can't drive it on regular streets, so track is always fun. an S2000 or STI? Sorry i'm not interested, i plan to drive silvias even if i do have alot of money. why buy a 20g car when you can buy a 2g car and add 17-18g to it? I'll deal with my mistakes, but thanks for your imput i guess.

[gorgasm]

sell the silvia frontend.
buy a us frontend.
use the remaining cash on maaco.
chop off that abomination of an exhaust.
put the stereo back in the stock location.
bam your balllin'.

[charlie321]

lol i have a plan for my car, you guys will see it eventually

[!Zar!]

Dream a dream, lover, take me in your dream
Take me anywhere you please, boy
You're making me scream
Dream a dream, lover, love is just a dream
If you wanna set me free, boy

Theres a track near Long Beach? That lets kids drive? And not care about insurance damage kid might do to himself or others?

I'm pretty sure there ISN'T a track near Long Beach, and if it IS a track you are driving on, what kind of parent/guardian would let their kid drive on a track? (Since you obviously would have to be driven to said Track).


Btw, thats Ricer excuse #1 in the back, why dont you get 'x' car and dump $$$ instead of buying a brand new 'z'

Real excuse not to drive STI, S2k, etc is cuz you're broke. Just like everyone else here at zilvia :bigok:

Real advice though: You don't have to pretend something you're not. Just read and become knowledgeable and work on your car on your own time.
(This is assuming you didn't lie about your age and that you didn't lie about you owning that car)


No flames intended, I'm just confused.

[charlie321]

alright your assumptions are right, that is my car, i worked hard for the money, i am 15, and every once in a while i do go to the tracks "Streets of Willow", you can go check it out, as long as you have a helmet and good safety measures, then your good to go. Why would you need a permit or license? Parents? They don't mind, as long as i'm safe. I don't remember age being a factor at the track. There's that one 16 year old kid, he got his D1 License this month. Drives an 86, but crashed at drivers search.

I don't mind if you don't believe me. I would work on my car if i had tools though..., you can come down and look at if if you want. But i'm not lying at all.

Insurance wise? there's cars on the track that are meant for track and not street, they don't have insurance, so does it matter if i do? Me hurting myself, is the same as an adult hurting themselves on the track.

[s13silvia88]

i notice u always keep saying how old u are and that u have a car n all, sorry but that aint gona get ur popular or get u a trophy..

[charlie321]

err i only said i was 15 probrobly twice?, and i'm not trying to get popular, just imput on my car, but w/e i guess.

[articdragon192]

So you've tracked that 240 at streets of willow?

[ALTRNTV]

Wait, so you said this thing runs great and you tracked it, but then again, you say you bought it with a bad battery and until now won't run? Uhhh...

[charlie321]

i guess it'll run if i push start it or charge it, but eh... i just got a better thoughts about it in the past few days, thats all.

[ursmokd]

lol meh, i don't think i got ripped only because of the battery. i did get this car for 3100...

-The Spark Plugs are loose
-Fenders havn't been cut
-Intake Tubes are not tight
-Idle's around 1.4Rpm
-Guage Cluster Light doesn't work
-Driver seat latch broke
-Dead Battery

I just recently found out that the dude crashed the front end badly, and then put a new silvia front end to cover it up, it hasn't been reported -_-. Gah i'm so dumb, can't believe i bought this. Did i mention i'm only 15 years old?

im pretty sure everyone took care of the dead battery suggestions ,and most of ur problems.. but i didnt see anything about ur idle.
Try advancing the timing, and adjusting your TPS to compensate, and you should havea good idle around 600-800 or so.
I dont know if that helps you out at all. but thats my suggestion.
Id say regardless of how much you got "ripped off" or whatever, its still your car, and you paid for it. so now all you gotta do is work on it to get it the way you want it.
The exhaust situation is kinda funny.. never seen that before. haha

anyways, congrats on getting a sil, and whos us some updates when you get some!!

[charlie321]

haha thanks for the support, i made some plans for this car, you'll see eventually. It only idles like that after a warm up, i think maybe its cause some of the intake tubes are broken and loose.

[articdragon192]

i guess it'll run if i push start it or charge it, but eh... i just got a better thoughts about it in the past few days, thats all.

What do you mean?

[charlie321]

haha you and i just posted, i'm gonna get rid of my front end, some dude wants it, and i should benefit from trading it, i like the udsm front end =p

[ursmokd]

haha thanks for the support, i made some plans for this car, you'll see eventually. It only idles like that after a warm up, i think maybe its cause some of the intake tubes are broken and loose.

my 240 i just got running, and what a bucket.. but it did the same thing, until i messed with the TPS, and timing, may not be the best timing job, but i dont have a light, and i go by ear.. and it holds fine...

as for 16 year old Pat. ur absolutely right. He's 16, and he has been in and out of events, even when i was at Laughlin Pro Am, he was tryin to get his license, and the kid is good. He even showed up at D1 this year.
So dont give up because of discouragement. And im sure if you ever need help with ur car, myself, and a lot of other people will be glad to help you work on ur car with ya. Its a good learning experience, and for me a good teaching experience. Plus. .id rather work on a car then do anything else, any other day.

So let us know!

[articdragon192]

haha you and i just posted, i'm gonna get rid of my front end, some dude wants it, and i should benefit from trading it, i like the udsm front end =p

How does that get it running properly though?

[charlie321]

it runs fine, just idles high due to problems with intake, and the sparkplugs are loose, so the motor doesn't stay smooth.

right now, i just want people i can maybe learn to drift with? i don't want to go alone, and not to far out lol.

[cmcdougle]

there probably was an lcd or something in the middle, so that's why the radio is moved over.

air leaking into the engine would cause idle problems. . . fix that before you mess with the timing.

And the guy you bought it from was an idiot if he didn't put the spark plugs in right, but the exhaust gave that one away already.

but yeah, I'll trade you problems, it's nothing too bad. Don't track out a crashed car if the frame is bent. I'd go drifting with you, but I live in Irvine. Get your license then you can.

[charlie321]

i guess i shouldn't of said the frame is bent, just some parts bent. Irvine isn't too far, how bout i come to you? lol.. i'll get a license in Late June or Early July. damn.. 6 months -_-. The sparkplugs are just loose. Maybe i'll meet you some day.

[soreballz]

Spark plugs are loose? Tighten them shits down already. lol

[BayS13]

Your a fuckin idiot. Sell the car and buy a skateboard or 10

[charlie321]

how am i an idiot? i love cars, and i'm not gonna wait to interact with some, besides Cars>Skateboards

[origin_s135]

Your a fuckin idiot. Sell the car and buy a skateboard or 10


the best post EVER.

[vrooompssssht]

my sparkplugz are gonna fall out? can anyones help me? i need like a wrench or sumtin:confused:

[charlie321]

lol, i'll get them fixed -_-, does anyone around long beach wanna take me to the junk yard? lol

[yfz460]

If your plug holes are stripped, try putting a little epoxy on the plug threads for a temporary fix untill you can get a new head or better yet, a new engine (if the head threads are what is causing the problem).

I'd say 3100 is about twice of what I would pay for it, but unfortunately its too late to undo the damage done by the ass you purchased it from. It's no doubt a good start by far! Looks very solid, and the quarters just need some finishing up or if you like the racey look, leave them!

As for the exhaust, just get it fixed at your local muffler shop, or go out to a Harbor Freight (if there is stores out your way?) and buy a cut-off wheel and a little 110v mig welder. Those will probably come in handy once and a while too so do it yourself and save some money! (If you're like me, green is scarce, so ever penny saved is more for down the road!)

I kinda like that radio, its definately different and allows for a nice touch screen as cmcdougle said. You could pimp it out with a carputer, and still hook it up to the radio for high quality tunes! I might do that too so I can put some gauges down low out and of sight!

Look on the bright side man, you've got a hell of a car to start out with, it moves and you're 15, who has a car that chill at 15? A kid that goes by the name of charlie321 obviously....:bigok: I rememeber purchasing my first 240 a few months before turning 16 as well, and it wasn't nearly as nice as that (but was a bit less at 1,000).

Oh and welcome to Zilvia, the forums where every critic is out to do what they do best, criticize and bust on you.:-/

EDIT: Go to Sears and buy yourself a 151pc tool set for yourself, they help out a hell of a lot!

[LB.Motoring]

wait you want me to come over to fix your big wheel?

http://www.mrtoys.com/big-wheels/pics/16-Inch-Big-Wheel-Tricycle.jpg

[charlie321]

lol at the big wheel

haha thanks alot, i'll try my best to work from here, but i'm still wondering if i can do anything about the quarter panels, i just don't want that wide body on it, and i'd rather have them rolled instead.. any ideas? i don't want to take them off and just see holes lol... i think my gaskets are leaking... :[

[yfz460]

He has already learned that fwd sucks, its obvious man!:keke:

As for the quarters, drill out the rivets, and use that little welder to fill them in. Grind the welds down flat and smooth it up with some body filler.

[charlie321]

is that something i should do? or something i have to get someone to do? and how much would it cost lol

[yfz460]

You can drill out the rivets with a standard drill, and bring it to a bodyshop to have the holes welded/smoothed. I'm going to guess to have the holes fixed it'd probably run anywhere from 100-250 bucks. A little welder at Harbor Freight would run around $100 and you can do much more with that!

Not the best welder, but it's better than nothing. Beggers can't be choosers!
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=55167
$110 at Harbor Freight

[charlie321]

lol hopefully it doesn't cost too much.. i wanna do it before i get my car painted

[yfz460]

Thats one thing they could fix for next-to-nothing if you were to get it repainted. Do everything you want to do to the car before spending mucho $$ on paint.

Paint should be the last thing to do, or if you're stripping it completely down and have all the parts, the first.

[charlie321]

yea definately, i wanna fix up the interior, like idk about the dash, i might get another one... and my antenna for my car doesn't come out :[

[Irukandji]

Didn't you buy this car from someone on Zilvia? I oddly remember seeing someone posting up a thread about that funky exhaust. I thought it was a joke, but it obviously is real.

I kinda wanna know who sold it to you. *jackass*

[charlie321]

haha no i kinda put it up for sale... i doubt anyone would want it, but with some work, it should be better.

[SDS13COUPE]

All I can say is good luck. You got a bumpy road ahead. Get all your basics covered and go from there. Also, Be prepared to throw away your money. Having a modified car will drain you. If you ever need help in San Diego hit me up. Peace.:bigok:

[charlie321]

Haha, thanks for the support, i really appriciate it, and i do realise that money is a factor lol, San Diego? Kinda far :[, i'd appriciate phone calls, i don't have to move lol. 562-756-8241

btw, my passenger window broke several days ago, is there a way to replace the window? or do i have to get a new door? thanks ^^

[SDS13COUPE]

Haha, thanks for the support, i really appriciate it, and i do realise that money is a factor lol, San Diego? Kinda far :[, i'd appriciate phone calls, i don't have to move lol. 562-756-8241

btw, my passenger window broke several days ago, is there a way to replace the window? or do i have to get a new door? thanks ^^

If you just broke the glass you can replace that quite easily. Get to a junkyard and find one for your car. The panel has two screws in it. One in the door handle tray (Right under the handle). Other screw is under a plastic cap/cover just left of the handle.(Their might be one more on the "OH SHIT" handle.) Pull the panel off and try not to break the plastic snap-in guides. Remove the plastic cover with all the adhesive sh*t. The window has 2 10mm screws in it. Pull those out and carefully slide the window out. Then just repeat process to reinstall. You shouldn't have too much of a hassle with this. Just take your time and do it right.:goyou:

[charlie321]

haha alright thanks alot, i'm not smooth with my hands but i'll try ^^

btw i'm new kinda, could someone tell me how to take off the front bumper?...

[!Zar!]

I decided to find your car from the past like
BYAH! (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=125863)

fixed it for you

I saw that car for sale on Club4ag about a month ago. I'm pretty sure I posted something mean about it there. I was gonna link to it, but Club4ag seems to be down...

[articdragon192]

So like, who calls BS on this car being tracked? Quit trying to front. youll only get found out in the end.

[cmcdougle]

just get a spark plug wrench, pull off the wire, and tighten those suckers down. Don't wrench on them, just do it just right. They're not holding anything down, so they don't have to be uber tight.

For the bumper, there are 3 screws on each side attatched to the fender. Then, there are 1 or 2 screws on arms that connect to the chassis kinda in the wheel wells, maybe under plastic covers (if it has them). The lights on the bumper just disconnect, you press a tab on the connector and it pulls right out. Don't yank it; it should be easy.

For the exhaust, I've got a free one you can have. It has the N1 style muffler on what I think is a stock exhaust, but it's not so fag-like. LMK.

[Kn1ves]

So like, who calls BS on this car being tracked? Quit trying to front. youll only get found out in the end.

I still dont think he owns the car, probably some bored kid pretending to own the car and saying he has all these kinds of trouble with it.

I mean seriously, 3100 for a car, 15 year old save up that much? Either that or his parents arent the smartest around. Buying your kid a car thats as old as him and letting him track it? Yea I still think
:bs:

[charlie321]

tell you what, once i get my license in june, or early july, i'll bring the s13 down to show you and we can go on the track. but either way, you can believe what you want.

and Lol at the fixed muffler, =o.

:keke: Yeah I didn't believe it for a second. You obviously haven't had much trouble getting your car to the track until now, so why not show em what you got now?

[kdashy]

Wow.

msg length.

[charlie321]

umm next time i go to the track, i'll be sure to let you guys know, i can't drive it on public streets, so ya... i'd be going to the streets of willow if you want. I only go when admission is payed as a gift, my own money goes towards the car =p.

[Kn1ves]

or you can post 2 pics of ur mug with the the car with you holding a sign that says 'kn1ves got owned'

and ill eat my words and say it is your car.

you still have no track proof though, you need a video for that one.

and you obviously have a digital camera, dont use the excuse that ur mom wouldnt let you touch hers, since hell, you got a car and cant borrow a camera? *waits*

BS on track time... and you're not even old enough to have a real job to pay to fix this car...


EDIT: And you can't even figure out how to get the bumper off.. LOL

[articdragon192]

Dang, even mr. 5 posts is ragging on you, lol.

[charlie321]

yea i really don't know how to take it off -_- lol, i'm learning!!!! haha

[markyboi]

im sure you have a lot of time on ur hands...

15=cant get a job?

just work on the car after school...keep you off from drugs

[charlie321]

At least he picked the right part of the forum to ask for help. And he asked zilvia.:p

[cmcdougle]

Hey, I had a job when I was 13.

Did you figure out how to get that bumper off?

[charlie321]

umm kinda -_-, i found the bolts underneath the headlights

well like here's the thing, maybe it was a dumb mistake to buy the car, maybe i am too young, but hey what can i say, i love silvias lol. so idk, you may hate me or like me, but i'll be friends with any silvia enthusiests out there ^^, just thought i'd get to know some people in my area.

[Kn1ves]

:( i got owned, but hey now we know...

now for the track vid

[spinitsidewayz]

Buy or download an FSM. Will pay for it's self in the long run. And sign up for automotive classes if your school has it.

[charlie321]

FSM?, and man i would join an automotive class if i could, they took it out years ago -_-, they even had a garage for 6 cars and you can go work on them with all the tools you needed. so lame...

[coreansurfer]

go find your local speed shop and tell them that youll work for free, because you know nothing and want to learn, hopefully theyll teach you something.

[articdragon192]

It's not a Silvia goddammit. It's a 240.

[ALTRNTV]

You won't find alot of Silvia enthusiasts around here, since 99% of us haven't even seen one.

[coreansurfer]

ive seen one, and worked one one too, but for some reason it was strangely familiar to the 240's that i usually work on...... i wonder why?:confused: hahahahahahhaa

[cmcdougle]

Find the wheel. now look behind it. the surface parallel to the wheel you see there is part of the chassis. now follow that surface to the front of the car. There is an arm that sticks out from the bumper level with the top of the bumper that attatches to that surface, and one bolt and one nut hold it down. Take them off, then go to the other side of the car, and do the same for the other arm.

Disconnect any wires that are connected (maybe do that first so the bumper doesn't fall on you), then take off your bumper.

hahah this is fucking hilarious!! seriously kid.. part that POS out or whatever is left of it and try to get some of that money back.. when you're old enough to drive and have a job that pays you may want to think about getting a car.

Or keep this and strip it to the ground and do it right.. "SEARCH" zilvia young JEDI! and you will find your answers!

[charlie321]

lol i appriciate your support, and all your opinions and advice, positive and negative, really i do. i started this thread knowing i was gonna get some negatives lol. i'm just here to learn =o. wait till later to get a 240? peh fuck that. but thats just my opinion. i'd rather learn now than sit on my ass and play video games all day -_-.

zilvia young jedi? Lol! yar so thanks again to you all.

......so about my wide fenders.... how do i take them off -_-

[tacotacotaco]

^With much skill and dedication. drill it out.

[cmcdougle]

well, if you want, I am probably going to part out my sil80 this week. You can have the whole back fender and roof piece, but it has a few dents, and it's black.

The dents aren't too hard to hammer out, but it might be quicker to drill out the wide fenders, instead of replacing that huge gnarly piece.

[charlie321]

its harder to replace the quarter panels? maybe i should just drill it out

[ALTRNTV]

Removing the quarter panel is not recommended for beginners, most usually take it to a body shop. Just drill the wide fenders out.

[charlie321]

and i can get someone to fill in the holes? and would it look good?

[Brian]

dude, I'm not sure why, but why does everybody have to freak out when somebody says silvia or 180. Shut the fuck up.
I'm making it a point to use the Japanese names now.
I'm calling my new car a 180.

To get the fenders off you have to take a drill and drill out the metal rivets. pretty easy really.

Sorry I haven't been following, but have you got the battery fixed and stuff?


FSM is a factory service manual. a big fat book that will tell you how to do pretty much anything on the car. It has diagrams of everything. Wiring diagrams. Simple steps to take things off, put them on, etc.

[trsilvias13]

You won't find alot of Silvia enthusiasts around here, since 99% of us haven't even seen one.


Im part of that 1%. I own one. Up for sale too btw.

And OP. DL a FSM, and read it a few times on how to take out the front bumper then go for try it. It will make much more sense. Pretty much follow where the bumper meets the fender. Then there the top and botton. Pretty much all you have to do it follow the bumper in a cirlcle and take off any screw that you can see. Pull and tug slowing, if stuck you can sort of feel where you missed a bolt.

And this kid can not part out this car... why? because he cant even take out the bumper.

[cmcdougle]

clean silvia, I'd buy it if I had a little more money. My friend might be interested, I'll tell him about it.

[charlie321]

[cmcdougle]

I'd give you a ride, but I don't have one either, and I don't really want a hug.

Besides, I live here. . .

You should come, though.

[charlie321]

:[, i hope i can meet you guys one day lol, when i get my license, you'll totally know its me by my exhaust lol

[cmcdougle]

[charlie321]

lol even if i wanted to, 1. i can't really get a ride there :[, 2. i don't have tools or the knowledge to install it... sucks huh

[articdragon192]

Exhuast is bolt off bolt on affair.

[charlie321]

[soreballz]

I'm sure if you give him 10 bucks, Cameron can take it to you at 8am on a Satuday morning. lol

[charlie321]

Yeah, I could drop that thing off. Maybe not for a week or two, though. I have to get my car working first.

And, put that stupid exhaust in the trash. I'll try to get pics of mine tomorrow.

[charlie321]

are you guys serious about me trashing it? what if i just get it rewelded?

If its stock piping... just trash it. If its bigger than stock, go ahead and get it rewelded.

I'll check it Monday. lol

[charlie321]

haha cool, gotta <3 you, thank you all for your tips and advices, i really am taking them into thought, and i really appriciate it. Thank you.

You're welcome. No need for the <3, though. I think its a bit too soon for this to be such a commited relationship.
