    Billet shift keys worth it?

    Yeah, same thing I'm thinking. I've heard if the synchro keys get destroyed it's because some other problem occurred first. I've heard the astro A5's are built pretty stout and I'd like to think it'll last a while but still, I don't know haha.... If anyone has information regarding the...

    Billet shift keys worth it?

    Hey guys, so I'm most likely going to get an astro A5 built for me shortly and one of the options I can have done are billet shift keys for 3rd and 4th gear for an extra $89. Is this a worthwhile mod to have done? I tried looking around the forums but really couldn't find any concrete info about...

    Quick questions regarding the power steering lines

    Man, even the teflon tape didn't help; I don't get it. I put the o-ring on perfectly, applied the tape perfectly, and it still leaks? Can I try anything else? I thought maybe the lines were bad but the leak is happening right at the threads that go into the rack. Do you guys think some Lucas...

    Quick questions regarding the power steering lines

    You know, I think I might try some teflon tape. Heard it works for some so at least I have something to try.

    Quick questions regarding the power steering lines

    W.T.F. Sometimes I really wonder why I bother. So I go out today, get the lines off and put new o-rings on both (I hate these lines so much) and it is STILL leaking from the lines. I took a flashlight to them and they both look like they're leaking. Great. I have no idea how this is happening...

    Quick questions regarding the power steering lines

    Hey guys, I recently replaced my steering rack with a whole bunch of other suspension mods and had a problem. I fired it up for the first time yesterday and noticed I had no power steering whatsoever. I look underneath the car and I see a noticeable amount of power steering fluid on the floor...

    Suspension upgrade...what bushings should I get?

    Yeah I saw that thread before but I never really found out how he liked them after some miles on them. I see you bumped the thread though, maybe we'll both find out now haha. But I'm still a little iffy on some of the bushings so any other replies would be still appreciated. And I have...

    Suspension upgrade...what bushings should I get?

    Hey guys, I thought I'd update this with my new list of parts and some new questions. Ok, so here's what I bought so far. H&R Super Sport springs, Bilstein shocks/struts, 03/04 Cobra front control arm, FRPP upper control arms for the rear, and MM CC plates. For the rear lower control arms...

    Suspension upgrade...what bushings should I get?

    Great, that's exactly what I was looking to know. Now are these bushings cheaper online or would the parts store be comparable? Is there a specific brand I should go with for the poly bushings? I've heard of Energy Suspension but I haven't heard if they're any good or not. Do you think this is...

    Suspension upgrade...what bushings should I get?

    Awesome, thanks for saving me some money man I appreciate that. Only thing that popped out at me is that it's the DX version. Is there any major difference between the DX and the regular X version? But I guess my main concern is exactly what bushings should I replace while I'm down there? My...

    Suspension upgrade...what bushings should I get?

    Hey guys, I'm finally replacing my stock suspension with some quality parts (H&R SS springs, Bilstein shocks/struts, MM CC plates on the way already) and now I'm looking at bushings. Problem is though, I don't know what bushings I should replace and what type of material to use. I've read...

    Questions regarding my AC and the low pressure switch

    Hey guys, got an update because I'm stuck. Well I added two cans of the refrigerant with the dye and noticed some dye present on the low side ac line. Here's a pic for reference. FWIW, this is NOT my car. I just snagged it from google. See the low side connection immediately above the...

    Questions regarding my AC and the low pressure switch

    Hey guys, little background. In the past, my car's ac was warm and that kinda went away after I added about two cans of refrigerant last year. I say kinda because the air was tolerable in warm weather but I still felt pretty miserable during the summer heat. Well recently my AC's blowing warm...

    Need some help with my smoked headlights! Pic enclosed

    Sounds like I got some work in for me, ha. Just one last question before I dive into this. How do I safety remove these headlights? I'm thinking just unhook the light connector and simply start pulling outwards. Does this seem right? Or is there something else I need to disengage before they...

    Need some help with my smoked headlights! Pic enclosed

    Hey guys. I recently had my car painted and while it was painted, I asked if the guy painting it could toss on the new smoked headlights from BOI I bought, since the stockers were coming off anyway. So I get my car back and the smoked headlights really look great. I'm really impressed. But...

    Front speaker depth?

    Wait a second. Couldn't I just make a speaker baffle using some MDF? I'm thinking I can but my only concern would be to find out the "max" baffle size that allows a larger depth speaker to fit but still allows the stereo grill to be put back on without the speakers getting in the way. So what...

    Front speaker depth?

    Alright, I think I decided on a slighter smaller mid. Before pulling the trigger, can anyone confirm these will fit? They have a 2 5/8" mounting depth. The rest of the specs can be found here: http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html Thanks!

    Front speaker depth?

    Uh-oh, I'm not liking the answers here, lol. :( I pulled out my door panel when I went to replace my power window bushings and I'm kicking myself for not measuring the depth because I knew I wanted new speakers in the future.. Looks like I'll be looking around for something else but if anyone...
