    Help with oil pressure gauge and oxygen sensor...

    Even if the wires on the gauge appear to be hooked up correctly, if the ground isn't clean, the gauge will peg at 100. Does the gauge jump to 100 as soon as you turn the ignition on in the car?

    One last stupid 5 bolt question

    AFS makes a 17x8 5 lug Cobra R. These are the ones I want to use, but I'm starting to think it's impossible unless I want to use spacers or do the complete sn95 front end. Looks ike I'll be 1 more guy running 4 bolt Cobra Rs on my car.

    One last stupid 5 bolt question

    I have a question. Is any body running 5 bolt Cobra R wheels in the 17x8 size with the lincoln rotor conversion. The reason I ask, is that I recently tried to do the Cheapo 5 lug conversion on my 90 LX, and the 5 bolt Cobra R wheels I bought would not fit. The Lincoln Rotor Cap was too high...

    As for the top motor, You can get them from a wrecker fairly easily. The same motor was used from 85- 99 I think.

    24# injectors= Crappy performance?

    :stupid: Thats why I mentioned the injector harness. I once just about went crazy trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my car and it turned out the injector harness had come loose and was making intermittent contact. Car ran great/car ran like crap/ can ran great/ car ran like...

    24# injectors= Crappy performance?

    Blue is the right colour if your using the stock A9L computer. I see by your list of Mods that you converted to mass air. If you are using a Cobra computer, I have heard that you need to use a different sample tube due to the fact that the Cobra computer is calibrated for 24 Lb injectors in the...

    24# injectors= Crappy performance?

    My C&l ran fine with similar mods. Are you sure they sold you the right sample tube. I would also check to make sure nothing happened to the mass air wires when you transplanted it to the C&L meter. One last thing, Do you know any body that has a Pro-M 24LB that you could swap temporarily to do...

    clearance issues

    I agree with Matti469. The wheels will probably rub on your A arms. You may have to use steering rack limiters or wheel spacers. I have 17x9s on my 1990 and they rub at full lock. Good luck

    more power with cats, why?

    Oh Gawd. That article was years ago. I'll go through all of my back issues and see if I can find/scan it. I'll bet you the article was 5 or 6 years ago though. But i'll try to find it just so I have something to show I'm not talking through my hat. Cheers

    SpeedHut Gauges??

    We'll there you go curse. It looks like the only possible choice is to do what blkstangman88 did. I've already bought mine so the info is not much use to me. PM me if your still curious as to how well they work. I'm still excited about them. I've got a Seven Up Logo on the tach that should...

    more power with cats, why?

    The back pressure of the cats increases your bottom end. More noticable on some cars than others. You are probably making less horsepower after 2500RPM, but the car will launch harder and seem like it has a ton more torque when you put the cats on. MMFF magazine made a comment about this a few...

    interior spray?

    As far as Dying the top, I saw a guy on the Corral Forum that did his 3 years ago and he posted some recent pictures. I thought it looked great. He said he prepped the crap out of it and then sprayed about three coats of black and it looks almost stock to me. Check there if you get a chance...

    SpeedHut Gauges??

    Cool. If I didn't need them in KPH, i'd get mine off of Ebay, but I haven't seen any that come in Kilometers per hour.

    My new 331 has finally gotten sick

    Check your injector harness. If it's loose, it will give you the exact symptoms you are describing. Mine was loose and the car would run perfect and then start missing for no reason at all, and usually start running decent again by the time I was trying to read codes. Good luck

    SpeedHut Gauges??

    I'd love to take credit for it, but I got the idea from BlackFox5.0. As far as the cheapo gauges go, I want gauges that have there own light source and that come in KPH. The Mac gauges looked so bad at night that they scared me off of relying on the stock dash lighting. I'm glad that the...

    APC white face gauges (plain or speedglo)

    www.Speedhut.com has customizable gauges for KPH and they use there own light rather than relying on light to come through. Check them out. I'll be installing some in about 2 weeks so I'll let you know how it goes. I also need them in KPH and they said it was no problem (just a 10.00 charge)...

    SpeedHut Gauges??

    I'm buying some along with a bezel that I will paint black. I'll get them in about 2 weeks so I'll post about how well they work and how hard they were to install if you can wait. I put the Mac ones in last weekend and they look great during the day but absolutely brutal at night. Cheers

    Changing front speakers from Dash to Door

    Will do. Thanks. Is it bad for the head unit to run all 4 speakers off of the one channel? I've heard that I will get more power from the door speakers if I don't run the dash speakers. My car is a convertible, so I basically suffer from a severe lack of bass response and I'm thinking the...
