    CEL Light Burnt?

    Sweet sounds simple enough. I don't have to remove the speedo cable to get to the bulbs right? That was just a forewarning if I'm going to change the cable anytime soon?

    CEL Light Burnt?

    That's what I'm thinking too. To get to that bulb what do I need to remove? Two top bolts on bezel, pull it back, remove the bolts that hold the cluster plate on and pull it all back?

    finally back in a fox after 4 years

    Thanks! Ya its in really good shape. About a 5 footer. Everything is original on it. Paint interior wheels etc. I got big plans for her. Just want to get her running tip tip before I start Modding. I already got a guy giving me some bbk headers and underdrove pulleys for an amp I have.

    Short Shifter

    Im running the UPR Blut Thunder in my Turbo SVO. It's definitely an upgrade from stock, but im planning on getting a different brand because from first to second, its kinda hard to dial in when your trying to shift fast, but all the gears after that are ok. But if you have the extra cash go with...

    Whos running shift kits in their aod?!?!

    How much of a price difference is there between a transgo and a baumann shiftkit? Also how does it shift between the gears? Is there any difference between how shifts from first to second and second to third? The biggest reason i need the shiftkit is because i bought a motor off a guy who had a...
