It´s still attached to the crossmember, but the bolts on both sides where it attaches on the far ends fell off, so it´s just hangin kinda limp.

Should I just buy new bolts and screw it back together?

Damn dude, what ISN´T rusted off on that car??? First your resenator now this. Hey Everyone, I sugest you all start buying stock in duct tape, because as long as this car is on the road there will be a huge market for the sticky grey repair man.

Lol....

well, you know how the sway bar is like a kinda "U shaped" bar, right? the base of the U is attached to the crossmember and then the tips of the u are basically hanging off... sigh. I guess it´s almost funny. Wait... no it isnt.

Also, my reverse light backup switch isn´t working. Get this-

Before, my reverse lights rarely worked. There´s apparently something in the tranny which engages the switch, and because of wear and tear, it rarely hits the switch and works right, even though the switch is fine.

I need to pass inspection, so the shop replaces the switch and then tests the car and it HAPPENS to work. (It happens about once every 20 tries)

And those damn switches cost 73 bucks too.

Yeah I´m over 300 bucks in the hole.

haha... my LX is in much much better condition, but still nowhere near as quick and tight handling as my GT. I´m glad I bought it, and I was expecting this, but I wasn´t really counting on spending 290 bucks to get my o2 sensor removed (morons).

Well I´m doing only my own work from now on, end of story, period.

Well I had to Finally hit 500, so I thought I´d waste another post here and tell everyone about the bumper sticker I saw for your car...

"Honk if parts fall off"

And then the sticker I´m gunna make for my car...

"WARNING: This car is it´s own theft deterant system"

Anyone know if I can take a Sway bar off a GT and put it on my LX? I have a 1995 LX 2 Dr HB.
