Finally got around to checking the rear brakes. First time i checked them since i bought the car. Sitting for long periods has not been good to them. Taking the rear wheel nuts off was difficult. They were rusted on pretty bad, and i felt like i was going to snap them off. As soon as i can afford one, i am getting a cord wire wheel to clean them off, and replacing the nuts with acorn-style ones.
The calipers barely touched the rotors. Replaced the brakefluid, which was pitch black. The rear bleeders were rusted. Had to clean the little hole.

Next thing to fix in the coming months. Has been leaking, like many B13s, since i bought her.

Went to the Junkyard to browse around, and happened upon these items.
Seatbelt mod possibly coming in the coming months.

Replaced the dreaded Fuel Injector Cap Bolts, with Allen head ones. Got them at Home Depot. Size is #10-32x1/2 Allen head.
They look exactly like these.

For about a year i had the "sounds like a subaru" thing happen. The whole car was shaking slightly. One of the fuel injectors was dirty or stuck. I had some new ones laying around that i bought about 5 years ago and decided to change them.
Now the car starts right away. with very little cranking.
