i just bought some 1" aluminum strips from home depot, used my vise and a hammer to bend em a little to accept the channel on the skirt, and then used a bunch of self tapping screws and some silicone on the side of the car to attach it. slid the skirt into the channel with some silicone to hold...

tonight when i got home i go to turn off my car and the engine shuts off... about 2 seconds after i pull the key out of the ignition, the battery gauge comes on, the battery light comes on, and i hear my fuel pump prime. after tinkering i even tried unplugging the ignition harness from the...

is this for the heater core bypass? autozone actually sells them.

i shaved mine and ran a looong cable similar to a bicycle brake cable from the door to the inner front fender and connected it to a handle that was hidden away. when/if the battery dies you just pull the handle and the door opens. keep in mind that you cant tell ANYONE about it or your car is...

if the coilovers dont come pre-assembled you will need a spring compressor so that you can install the spring over the strut so you can get the adjustment and locking rings on. it will be like 2" too long and theres no way you can compress a spring that much on your own. coilovers are a...

im using a msd blaster coil and msd 6a ignition. i felt a great difference in response and mpg as well. the fuel filter is located directly above your rear end differential mounted to the underside of the body. you should locate your fuel pump safety switch inside your rear trunk/hatch...

im sorry but ive installed both stock and aftermarket springs... eibach, ford c springs, and H&R's on numerous cars. while a spring compressor is needed to get the stockers back IN, its just a waste of time for removing them... wether its stock or aftermarket. i just undo the strut bolts to...

sounds like your car is coming apart. invest in a set of new RUBBER upper bushings and put em in... and then get a torque wrench and go thru the whole car before the wheels fall out... bolts loose in teh rear end? :nonono:

just get a pair of exhaust turndowns from autozone mine are welded in

if you look in a hayes or chiltons they spec the "deflection" that a good chain should have... if its over that ammount, time for a new one. how much is a new chain and gears? like $100... might as well do it if you're gonna tear into everything and plan on keepin it for a while. i put RTV on...

i just took a drill and stuck it thru the firewall and cut the thing in half. took like 2 mins and it just fell out rather than prying on stuff that shouldnt be pry'ed on. :)

exact reason why i bought the ceramic. sure they're shiney for about a day and then they're ugly.

i hitup both surfaces with a wire brush and scuffed em up a little down to the bare metal... then i put some high temp RTV on both sides of the gasket and tightened it up. i had no leaks the 1st time... :shrug:

why not just run a short belt??

the gt bumper hangs about 1.5" lower than the LX bumper. the LX's have visible tailpipes. an LX tailpipe would make the exhaust exit right into the bumper and it wouldnt work. if you're setting it up to drag race then why bother with tailpipes? just dump the exhaust... thats like 20 pounds...

it allows more control of the alignment. if your car is lowered on FRPP b or c springs then thats not really beyond the limit of the stock CC plates. if you got money laying around then sure... but otherwise its not really needed and spend it elsewhere... :)

i agree that the AC system does weigh a lot... but how much hp could it drag away from the crank pulley when its not active? the thing just spins when the clutch isnt engaged. i wouldnt even bet that 1hp is lost. i personally have mine on still just because i havnet bought the march AC...

h/c/i can definetly go beyond the means that the stock computer can handle. a custom tune will definetly help... im guesstimate ~10-20hp can be found with a good tune. If you get a tweecer it can hurt performance. I personally have the tweecer RT and there are tons of adjustments you need to...

its a broken hatch striker. you can get a replacement at autozone in the HELP! section. I believe you're gonna need a torx tool to remove the striker... same one that removes the seatbelts...
