Interior is great except the radio surround has a crack in it and the door release surrounds are worn bad. It has a slight leak coming from the lower oil cooler line but im replacing them with braided SS lines next week along with the exhaust gasket that is leaking.

FYI! When you replace your oil cooler lines make sure you "inspect" the oil cooler itself. The housing's are prone to cracking where the fittings thread in to the cooler (especialy the lower line).

Yeah when we looked at it...it kinda looked like it might have been leaking from the cooler itself but i dont know...my friend has an FC oil cooler he is going to give me...anything different with those?

Also it idles a little low at a stop...but once i push the clutch in and continue to sit there...the idle goes up to normal and then once i let out of the clutch still sitting in one spot..it drops back down. Any ideas?

mine idles a little low sometimes at stops, I thought I should adjust the idle speed, but sometimes it idles perfectly, make sure your oil pressure doesn't drop too low at stops, and make sure the car is warmed up properly, my car never has any low idle problems when warmed up all the way.

What should the oil pressure sit at when at idle? And what should it be at on the highway at 60mph?

My alternator belt is really worn and pretty loose which i believe is slipping...my car kinda goes in and out of power as i drive slowly. I have 3 new belts to replace them all and a electric fan to get rid of the factory one which im going to all do tomorrow...do you think that should fix my problem?
