Coupe Random Little Question Thread
#1201
Can anyway give some insight as to why one side of my G, mainly the rear, is lower by 1/2 inch
I thought it was a dodgy spring or something but after changing out to Tein S-techs, I got a drop all round but this side is still a 1/2 inch lower.
To add, I thought I would do a temp fix by placing 1/2 inch piece of a spare spring mount fastened to the current mount to raise this one corner by 1/2 inch - that worked.......except it also raised the other side too.
I'm not sure if this ever - or can - happen but I'm starting to think maybe the ARB is bent/twisted some how from an accident or just 160k miles of driving. The front left is also slightly lower than the front right but maybe by 1/8 inch.
Edit: I have the orange pin stripe on order!

I believe HFCs make it louder

I cant find the exhaust ground wire. hey I just swapped my stock exhaust out for a borla and after I did this I went online and watched some youtube videos on how to do the install. Both videos showed a ground wire connecting to one of the exhaust flanges. I didn't remember seeing one when I took it off so I rechecked everywhere but couldn't for the life of me find anything. Where does this wire come from so I can replace it with a new one?

Radiator replacement
I'm hoping some one has purchased a replacement radiator and thermostat from rock auto. I don't need any thing fancy since I use the car as a DD but just curious what members have used in 03 coupes or if any one has experience using rock auto parts. There are quite a few options & they're all fairly cheap. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Howdy guys, so I have an 04 coupe and my front side marker lights both don't work. They haven't since I bought the car. I did some research and figured it's probably a fuse or bulbs. So I went out to get new bulbs and they still didn't work. Now earlier I checked every fuse on the car and they are all in tact besides the cigar lighter fuse which I replaced. I couldn't exactly find a straight answer on the issue or if the side markers are even powered by a fuse. With that being said, is there any other way to fix this or figure out what needs to be done to get them working again?

Yeah, it's all the same shiz. That's why I chimed in with the car quest one. Wouldn't be surprised to learn they're all the same exact radiator. Like I said the problem with mine was finding a cap. Tried to pressure test the system once too, and none of the adapters fit on the aftermarket rad and they did on the OEM, so there's definitely something fishy about the filler neck.
