I can get them both for around $75 at the yard by my parents if I pull them myself. Sounds like a plan to me. Now I just need to find a bumper and get motivated to put the wires back together.

The dash lights were perfectly fine on the way home and to work today besides acting up just as I was three blocks from work. I have a feeling the wiring to the alternator might be on loose or something up front is shorting and drawing a lot of power. I absolutely hate electrical and this makes me not want to fix the car=/ Does anyone like electrical and feel up for a challenge?

My dash lights would go from really bright to basically off and anywhere in between on the way to work. I will see if it does it on the way home, but I never had this issue before. They get a little dim when I turn the wipers on or turn on something that drains electricity, but never random like this. I am hoping it has to either do with the cold or my new bouqet of wires sticking off the front from my accident.

Shit happens and could have been much worse. Good choice choosing the barrels. I have seen what trailer tires can do to a car.

If anyone that is decent at wiring could help me splice the front harness back together that would be greatly appreciated. I want to get this thing at least "road legal" again instead of riding dirty=)

As soon as my mirror got taken out by that cone, it all felt like a real life game. Those barrels are brutal though lol

Carnage pictures will be up soon=)

just saying.

Sorry to hear, but at least it happened to your "beater" and not your bobtail

The car runs and drives perfectly normal. The front bumper is gone (all electrical tore off too), the drivers mirror is gone, the passenger headlight assembly still works but is bent in a hair, and the passenger front fender got some nice speed dimples.

Long story short, we were on 41 North by the Watertown Plank Road construction. We were in the far left lane. We merged over once seeing the merge left sign. A semi was on our right from this point on. We saw the lane merge in once again but a little late. I applied the brakes and was going to merge right, but that semi also slowed to our speed and started merging into our now ending lane. In a last thought I had to decide trailer wheels or construction barrels.

The first barrel smashed off my drivers side mirror. Barrel number two hit the front fender on the drivers side. I believe a third barrel hit the middle of thr bumper, just inwards of the passenger headlight assembly. At this point I figured that semi saw all of this and sped up. I was wrong there. As I came back into the roadway, I tapped my fender on his rear bumper, banging up my passenger front fender (and most likely ripping my electrical harbess in half). I figured that the "closed" lane wasn't a bad idea so I swerved into it. After getting my bearings back I racecar'd through an opening in the barrels to get back on the highway.

We then drove to the shop where I put electrical tape over all of the exposed wires after assessing all of the damage.

I think I got all of that right. Moral of thr story is when there is a merge right sign, get over into the far right lane just to be safe and make sure there is no semi to your right=)

I installed the new valve cover gasket, plugged the last coolant line, put the cover back on, put the new pcv valve in and now it runs great with no idle surge.

It idles at 500rpm which feels a little too low since it wants to shut off when I let off the clutch. I will adjust it up to 750rpm and she should be great.

I am 98% done with the coolant bypass. This will rid me of my idle surge and make idle soley controlled by the idle screw on the throttle body.

In the process of this I accidentally leaned on my pcv valve and snapped it off in the valvecover. I am in the process of removing that right now.

Earl, I have to ask... how many cars do you have? lol.

Also, is the M3 in your sig yours?

I technically have 3 cars=) I have my 1990 Honda Prelude Si as my daily beater, the 1995 BMW 318ti (which was my daily and is now being built), and a 1986 Chrysler Conquest TSi that was my original build but I gave up on it because I got too interested in my 318ti.

That would be my compact in my signature on the way home from Eurowerks last year.
