GPdriver1986 Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Most things need to be replaced such as alternators, water pumps, hoses, belts,tune ups,brakes etc. But if you get your car oil sprayed every year you won't have to replace things like brake lines, gas tanks, etc. I have had my car for 3 months already I got from a wreckers, it had new tires, new alternator, new battery, new coolant pipes. I had to do so much work for it to pass safety but that was because the car was not maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmo1234 Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Nozzle Lights to a dedicated switch :?: So you just added nozzle lights to the ones built in the wipers or just drilled holes in the hood and put some dummy nozzles on... just wondering.

Thabulldog Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 About a week before i got the car painted i got out my drill and my biggest bit and tried as close as possible to line them up. I had to widen the hole quite a bit to get them to fit tho, and they arent bolted down cuz the top part of the hood is too thick for it to come all the way thru, then i wired them to the parking lights and ran a switch so when I get pulled over i don't have to hear that they are illegal cuz i can switch them off without shutting off my lights.
