    Anyone replaced thier Rack and Pinion?

    Finally getting around to replacing a worn rack and pinion steering after procrastinating about 6 months. The directions state that you need to have the steering wheel pointed straight and locked. Problem is, I can only get it to lock in the 9 o'clock and 2:30 positions. It also wants you to...

    Another Koni question

    I am replacing the blown Tokico blues on my front suspension with koni yellows on the lowest perch setting paired with Tein S-Tech (2" drop). After I got the strut assembly together I noticed how loosely the springs fit. There is essentially no preload. You can freely twist the spring and...

    Anyone have a spare distributor off their 4cyl?

    I was installing a new distributor shaft seal to replace a badly leaking one. The marks I put on the bottom of the distributor base wore off from handling it as I was pressing out the pin at the base. I should have used punch marks in hindsight. I need to find the correct orientation when...

    Front roof rack location

    The Thule fit kit 2027, instructs to locate the front rack 13 3/8" from the top of the windshield. To me it looked way too far back. I moved it about 6" to the front and it looks a lot better but still kinda far from windshield. I plan on using an older still Thule fairing which actually came...

    Intake Plenum leak

    I have a pretty bad vacuum leak on the intake plenum of my 4 cyl. I just replaced it a few weeks ago, torqued to spec in a criss-cross fashion and now it leaks worse than before with the idle surging constantly in park or neutral. Maybe the matting surfaces are slightly warped, not to mention...

    Yesterday, I was trying to replace my reverse lights. I turned the key to on position without starting the car, pulled hand brake, shifted autotrans to reverse. Well, the T20 leds from Ebay (Hong Kong) were a no go, although the map lights and festoon bulbs did work, but that's beside the...

    Magnaflow catalytic convertor exhaust gasket

    I recieved my new Magnaflow 22642 Cat in the mail, along with two gaskets I ordered not knowing whether or not they came in the box. Well, it did come with a ring style gasket for the end of convertor, to be used in the recessed cut out. I'm sure I would be alright using either style, but my...
