im thinking it was more of a "neil tjin didnt have any use for the car anymore and didnt want anyone else driving "his" car so he decided to destroy it."

haha, he took all the parts off it first too, as you can clearly see in the pic...

thats just my guess though...

the hardest part is splitting apart some of the harnesses and figuring out the shortest possible distance each harness can run then figuring out how to route it that way.

and i havent even tried extending wires yet, so idk about that...

its alot more work than eveyrone thinks.

what ppl need to realize is that...

I HAVE NO A/C
I HAVE NO POWER STEERING
MY BATTERY IS IN MY TRUNK
IF I WANT TO CHANGE A FUSE I HAVE TO TAKE MY BUMPER OFF
IF I WANT TO CHECK MY COOLANT LEVEL I HAVE TO TAKE MY BUMPER OFF
I HAVE NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR WIPER FLUID RESERVOIR

i think thats it.

not meaning to yell, i just want everyone to realize that before they start tearing their isht apart. and also to realize that theres might ends up looking nowhere near what mine looks like...

yup, just threw a rag down and popped the hoses off the pump to drain it, still need to remove all the hoses, and still need to take out the power steering pump or route the belt around it.

also need to get a smaller pulley otherwise the tensionor rubs on the belt constantly.

also need to put breather filters on the in and out lines that run on the steering rail.

not to mention its a PITA to get going while driving.

the only reason i took it out was because it was in my way. haha. im still debating whether i want to leave it out or re-locate it.

also aen, keep in mine your car will have to sit for either a whole day or more than likely, a couple days. you wont be able to drive it...unless of course you feel like putting everyyything back together every night. (trust me, you dont)

They have to destroy the car because it isn't street legal. They can't resell it, so they crush it. Every promo car meets that fate.
