    POLL: which weight oil do you all use???

    hmm...so thicker oil helps keep oil pressure up then? wish I woulda known that 4 days ago when I changed my oil with the usual motorcraft 10w30 ...pressure likes to dip now and again, and its hot as hell here

    hmm I'd like to know how to lower the seats as well. I'm only 6'3" and I rub my head on the roof. was wondering if they made some kind of lowering bracket (would be nice)...

    Converting Front Bumpers

    I have a quick question about the LX bumper bolting up....the previous owner of my car did the swap, but the very very bottom of the bumper just kinda hangs down, its not bolted. i can't remember exactly but I don't even think there are holes in the metal for it to bolt to (but there's holes in...

    87-93 Custom Subwoofer Enclosure (spare tire)

    yeah fiberglass knowledge is a must. luckily, its pretty easy to catch on. might wanna practice making some kind of useless enclosure type piece - just for experience. haven't gotten around to making a sub enclosure, but I did make some pods for my doors that held 6x9's...turned out fairly...

    uh oh...think I have gas in my oil

    well I just checked the compression and everything seems fine. got 160,160,160,162,156,165,167,160. The car generally stalls on the first start of the day, and when it does it reeks of fuel. I get horrible gas mileage (have another thread going on that topic) but my plugs are white. last I...

    uh oh...think I have gas in my oil

    well I was just out changing my oil and I noticed it smelled kinda like gas. I realized that between this oil change and my last I put UV dye in my gas tank, so I busted out the black light. to compare, I looked at some old oil I had laying around still and it glowed kinda blue. then I looked...

    where to get speedo gear?

    Well I need a new speedo gear (yellow), but I can't find it anywhere. I found it at steeda, but I can't order from them cause you need a signature for delivery and the UPS guy comes at 9am and 4pm, and I don't get home till 5 - so no delivery. and I'd have it shipped to work but on your first...

    Anyone here from Arizonza?

    phoenix really isn't as bad as people make it seem. It's hot, but you really do get used to it and don't really notice it for the rest of summer. The monsoon season is freakin awesome as long as you're not trying to drive somewhere when a storm hits - some of the most beautiful storms you'll...

    can't figure out why I use so much fuel..

    I already knew my mileage from before it broke. Also, I can still tell I'm getting bad gas mileage cause I can only go like a week on a tank...used to be 2-2 1/2 weeks...

    anybody tried the new Super 40's yet

    from the sounds I've heard, I personally think the new Hushpower II is the best sounding muffler they've made :) of course, at 24" long, they'd require some custom exhaust work.. just thought I'd chime in..

    can't figure out why I use so much fuel..

    wouldn't a leaking injector cause the car to run rough? and if one were stuck open, could you just use a mechanics stethascope (or whatever they are) to listen to each one as its running? or would this not work? no MAF here, but I'll stop at autozone and get some crap for my filter and TB...

    Power Steering Delete to Manual Rack

    hmm, I really like the idea of connecting the two hoses and leaving a small amount of fluid in there for lube. I have heard a few stories of people ruining their racks by just taking off the pump and draining it... I also am glad to hear that rdksek844 is having a fine time with no ps on...

    can't figure out why I use so much fuel..

    nope. your odometer works off your speedo cable, which in my situation, doesn't work at all. if your speedo reads faster than you are going, your actual mileage will be less than the odometer says, and vise versa. blah blah, that should help

    86 to 87 or newer INTERIOR conversion

    this was done to my car by its previous owner, so I don't know how involved it is. but yeah, it can be done. One thing I know, stick with 87-89 interior, as in 90 (I think) they put in the airbag so the shape of the cluster around the steering column is different. from what I've seen of mine...
