    Thanks. Yanked the windshield out and pulled the urethane off without much trouble. It was cold and the windshield cracked, but I didn't need it and there were already cracks.

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    Thanks for the info. I have been looking on eBay for some reference photos of the pieces people have on there. It looks like most people just cut it out with a wheel. I assume they are doing this because it takes less time than drilling out all the welds. It also looks like they cut near the...

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    Hi Dave, Just a quick question. I am harvesting the front clip and cowl from a donor car. Would you be able to tell me the best way to cut these out so that everything is salvageable? I was going to cut at the back of the engine bay closest to the firewall and cut straight down, then figure...

    Toe Alignment And Steering Issues

    Sorry, but I forgot about this thread. Just want to thank you guys for your advice. I tried using a jack to lift the car just enough to relieve some weight from the tires and the adjustments were easier to make. The tires were still on the ground. I used to the same method to adjust camber...

    Toe Alignment And Steering Issues

    I am using the string method for the toe alignment. I am using jack stands to hold electrical conduit across the front and back of the car then attaching the string to it. I used the Maximum Motorsports camber gauge to measure camber and caster. I think I am doing it correctly based on the...

    Toe Alignment And Steering Issues

    After doing some suspension and steering upgrades, I am now trying to do an alignment on my '89 LX. I was able to set the camber and caster the way I want, but can't get the toe right. When I adjust one side, the other side seems to move. Am I doing something wrong or is something broken...

    '97 Cobra - Can't Turn Key To Off

    Thanks for the diagram! I began taking the column apart. Guessing that I will be able to take just the front off and see if I can find something broken or just replace that part. Is it possible to connect the battery back up so I can move the seat back? I removed the airbag and steering wheel.

    '97 Cobra - Can't Turn Key To Off

    Thanks for the reply. Is it serviceable or do I need to take the column off and find a used one? Is there a trick to getting it back in the off position?

    '97 Cobra - Can't Turn Key To Off

    Hey guys, When I went to turn the key to shut my car off the other day, the ignition cylinder turned loosely and the car wouldn't shut off. I played with it for a couple minutes, but finally had to pull a plug out from one of the coils to stall the car. I popped the ignition cylinder out and...

    Car Won't Start

    Thanks again! I don't know if I have enough room on that side but I am certainly going to try it before cutting the cable.

    Car Won't Start

    After putting the cables from another 5.0 on, the car started right up so I bought new ones. Question - is there a way I can hook my electric fan cable up to the positive cable without having to cut the terminal end off my brand new cable?

    Car Won't Start

    Thanks for the excellent checklist! I bought some new terminal connectors because I think they are the problem. If that is not it, I will begin going through the checklist.

    Car Won't Start

    Having trouble with starting my LX. Battery is good. The lights and everything work fine. As soon as I try to start the car, the lights go dim or out and it either cranks really slowly or doesn't crank at all and the solenoid starts clicking. I did notice that there is damage to the negative...

    Suspension Upgrade Suggestions

    I am looking to upgrade the stock suspension in my car over the next month so I can get it ready for spring. The car is basically a street car that may see an occasional trip to the track so I am looking for the best all around performance in terms of handling and hook up. My engine is a N/A...

    Door Seating Problems With New Weather Stripping

    Thanks for your input. I am going to try adjusting the striker a little closer to the body. I believe I already did that but I will try again. I have new bushings so I will replace that as well. Any other ideas?

    Door Seating Problems With New Weather Stripping

    I just installed new weather stripping on the passenger side of my LX. It is the 5.0 Resto weather stripping. I noticed even before putting it on that the material is much firmer than the factory piece. After installing, the door doesn't seat all the way so it sticks out a little. I am...
