Good stuff man, glad to see that you're happy. I'm also bringing my car back to OEM (okay better than OEM quality), I only need a few things now and I'm done. As far as exterior goes I only want some FD3S wheels from '93-'95, the interior seats from an FD3S, and EITHER the '86-'88 aero kit OR the MLR front spoiler and some Mariah side skirts. Other than that I'm done with the car, the only thing left power wise that I want to really "ADD" to the car is a street or rally port.

Congrats man

You should see what the car looks like now man, 3M Finish Restorer is the best exterior mod I've ever done to ANY car (it truly did make my 17 year old paint look brand new!).

You bought a new wiper switch???

wow, you must be made of money.

BTW, I rebuild them for any member of the club here for $40 for single wiper units (front wipers only) or $60 for dual wiper units (front and rear) and replace the relays with heavy duty 7 amp rated sealed relays (as opposed to the stock 4 amp rated relay).

Icemark: so is the problem with wiper only working on one setting just the ****, or in the electrics inside the dash? (my wiper only works on one speed, and stops anywhere in the windshield when I turn it off, and also the water spray feature does not work)
