just can't find the time
just wanted to rant about finding the time to fix some stuff in my car and its really getting under my skin...
need to fix a major scratch in the rear bumper, needs a respray
amplifier died and need a new one
sunroof stopped working
the headliner is starting to sag
the driver front wheel needs adjusting, all four wheels need balancing
the little carpet piece on the passenger door is peeling
car needs major detail
still need to hook up an oil catch can and the ventilation for the gas tank ... driving with fumes inside
install my methanol kit and my camshafts
the list never ends...

hey bro for the AC. the EC light is on because you are low or empty on the freon. to fill the system the car must be on and the Ac on the lowest temp and on high. also if you hold down the ec button with the car on for about 4 seconds (out of the country so don't have the car handy) you will get a menu with different readings, number 7 is the pressure in the Ac system it needs to be at 15

Pretty sure no one has a perfect car that's at least 8 years old. My list:
- wheel wobble / vibration
- sloppy steering
- serp belt needs replacing
- possible dying power steering pump
- steering damper
- Bilstein Sport shocks
- change out spring pads
- need 2 jack pads
- full detail
- shifter bushings
- need new driver's floormat
- change cabin filters
- brake flush
- coolant flush
- spark plugs and wires coming up
- foglights don't work
- need front bumper resprayed and pass. foglight bracket replaced
- wiper mechanism lubed and wiper blade refill
- KMAC front kit
- rear adjustable camber arms
That's not even including the mods I want to finish up.
