    LX Repair Log - Lots of pics DUW

    The LX came back from paint on Friday. I just thought I'd share some before and after pics. Straightened & prepped: Now: I did all the body work myself and let the shop do unibody alignment and paint, and I'm really happy with how it turned out

    Cylinder 3 very week

    Last night the car started feeling like it was running on 7 cylinders so I pulled codes and it said #3 was very weak but not dead. I hooked up a timing light, and the wire was firing and everything, so could this be a fuel injector problem instead of a plug/wire problem? Before I go changing...

    Quick Tranny Question

    I've been working on the vert for the past couple days putting a new clutch in. I've done it before, but this time the tranny had trouble sliding in the last inch or so. I know this has been posted before, to have someone push the pedal in and it will slide the rest of the way, but that only...

    Electrical (fuse?) problem - Headlights and Audio

    I bumped the fuse box when I was changing out clutch quadrants under the dash, and it started smoking yellow at both the fuse box and the + battery terminal. The terminal is oxidized, and neither the headlights, sidemarkers, taillights, or audio headunit work now. Do you think I blew a couple...

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    I'm swapping out the clutch cable and having a world of trouble getting it back on the fork. I've tried prying it and I can't get any leverage; the exhaust is still in. It seems as though the fork will have to come all the way foreward to get the cable back on; and theres no way in hell I'll...

    Very Weak Crank on Warm Start

    Whenever I've been driving around for a while, maybe to go get gas or something, and restart the vert, the starter sounds really weak and struggles to start the car. Could it be the battery? Or maybe the starter motor itself? I know it's something simple, but it's pretty annoying...and...

    Strut help ASAP *PICS*

    I'm in the middle of mounting my Bilstein struts and I've run into a problem. The driver side spindle doesn't sit right. In the pictures you can see that it's angled in way too much. That is with the strut decompressed. The other side is fine though. :shrug: I didn't experience this when I...

    Need advice unibody experts (pics)

    This is a continuation of It Happened - What Can I Do Here? pics. Anyway, I just got the car back from insurance and took a look at the damage, and it's really not as bad as I thought it was. It looks like only the front fender aprons and core support are damaged. Correct me if I'm wrong...

    Brake pulsation after 3rd gear runout

    I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but I know it hasn't always been like this. Anyway, whenever I run my car Full Throttle from 1st-3rd till about 90+, when trying to slow down, the brakes cause the steering wheel, console, and pretty much the whole car to pulsate and shake violently...

    Help me identify

    I was wondering what the broken white line in the picture is for. It looks like it has something to do with emissions but I wasn't sure. I know it's been broken for some time now though; how important is it?

    MAF Sensor/TB Sizes - Intake Upgrades

    I will be starting to upgrade air induction on my stock 93 soon, and I was wondering about maf/tb diameters in relation to mods done on an engine. Eventually I want to go with a TrickFlow street intake as soon as I get some cash, but in the meantime I was looking at the C&L 76mm MAF and...

    Brake fluid leak

    For a few days now I've had a light browninsh leak that I thought was the usual oil leak but it's actually brake fluid, as I found out today, because it sort of splashes onto the ground unlike oil. It seems to be coming from that plug directly under the master cyllinder. It's a hex-shaped...

    MM Quadrant & Adjusters

    I was going to buy the quadrant, firewall adjuster, and clutch pedal height adjuster kits from Maximum Motorsports. What do you guys think about this quadrant; is it good or not? That place seems to be pretty informed about the subject... http://www.maximummotorsports.com/cq.asp

    T5 Leak - Drain plug crack

    As some of you know I switched out my clutch last weekend and refilled the tranny. Well I've had a small fluid leak over the past few days, and today I decided to get under there and have a look. I thought it was just the new fluid leveling itself out still, but that was not the case. I saw...

    Timing set - Just making sure

    Well I adjusted the ignition timing this afternoon. I loosened the hold-down bolt before checking to see what the timing was set at previously, so I rotated the distributor before I realized what I was doing. Anyway, I put the timing at what I think is 14º BTC from the #1 spark wire, correct...

    Stripped stop bolts

    I bought a used Pro 5.0 shifter a couple months ago. Well the previous owner adjusted the stop bolts to fit his T5...like he should...but it doesn't quite fit mine. The 2-4 bolt is fine, but the 1-3 bolt is a little too far out, and doesn't stop anything; it's useless. I didn't really worry...

    Dual 8" Subwoofer Box

    Subwoofer - Update: 10" Bought I've been thinking about buying a pair of Rockford Fosgate RFP3208 HE2 8" subs to put in the hatch, but I can't find a dual 8" box anywhere to fit my application. First of all, what do you think about Rockford equipment? Second of all, would something along the...

    Pro 5.0 Shifter Bolts Necessary?

    I just picked up a slightly used Pro 5.0 on ebay for $100 a few days ago. Well the guy didn't put the four mounting bolts in the box. On the instruction sheet it says they are longer and are necessary for the install...but would it be a problem to re-use the stock ones? If I need them...

    Clutch Replacement

    So we just started getting estimates for a complete clutch/flywheel job on my 93LX, and the first and (so far) only place we've called is the local Ford dealership. Well the labor alone turned out to be $756...p'shaw. Ya right. We're going to call some other places and look for some small...
