    I've got alot, Mainly the hatch, theres a small rattle in the right part of the dash ( could it be a speaker?)

    Any help on how to quiet down the interior?
    Also, my speedo cable makes a clicky noise, we took off the cluster and tried to oil it up but to no avail, could it be due to the cold weather since it didnt do it before until it got cold.

    Also whats the best way to go about putting a mass air filter on my car?
    Buy a filter and slap it on the stock air tubes? Buy new metal tubes or what?

    One more question, since my gas guage doesnt work, i filled it up last thursday, i have gone about 148 miles, i filled it up and was going to figure out my mpg and i got a 15-18. I've gassed her alot but not too bad. I think it could be better. Should i just replace the fuel filter?

    Yes, it's a fox body...they all rattle.

    best way to put a "mass air filter" on your car? I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never heard of such a thing.

    Subframe connectors will make a heck of a lot of difference in eliminating that creaking interior. The stiffer you make it, the quieter it will get.

    mine makes all kind of noises.. I just turn up the radio.

    what I think you ment to say is "cone filter" or "cold air intake". There is no such thing as a "mass air filter". There is a "mass air meter" that measures air. If thats what you meant there are quite a few threads on this topic.. just look around.

    I get about 20 around town when i get on it and about 25 on the highway. So your not doing too bad. If you run your car to Empty often the garbage at the bottom of the tank could affect you fuel filter. And if you know it hasnt ever been changed it couldnt hurt to change it.
