    seat belts too short

    Dealerships used to be required to supply belt extensions for free. I think they still are, although finding the part to fit this old a car may be trouble. It's just a pair of connectors (M & F) on a short piece of belt.Next, eat less. For the rest of your life. Here, this off-topic will...

    Airbox: should I or should I not

    Better, $30 of clone of eBay.It'll sound faster. It won't be.

    Good Mechanical Boost Controller (In Car)

    It's easier to just use the throttle pedal. It's the skinny one on the right. When you want less boost, don't push it down as far.Seriously.Having "adjustable" boost, or "two stages" or whatever other kind of carnival crap on the power output of an engine is not merely pointless, but it's...

    OEM Timing Belt or aftermarket? [Merged 7-8] belts

    Stop obsessing. Any new belt will be fine. "Stretching" is not an issue, and failure of new belts -as opposed to being installed out-of-time- is unheard of. There are no "cheap" belts being made. It's too complex an operation to bother trying to make clones of.

    Coolant drains really fast, Help?

    Or there's a crack in the overflow line and it's sucking back air instead of coolant- make sure the snorkel tube in the inside of the expansion ("overflow") tank reaches to the bottom. Also look for cracks in the overflow tank.

    Radiator Hose with Picture question??

    The bolt is a bleeder. It's unnecessary on a DSM. You won't find a sender that'll fit that small a hole.The circled cap is where the idiot disconnected his BOV recirculation tube because the zoomy-zoomy whoosh sounded so cool. Put "Venting" in the Search box and read all 500 threads about why...

    How could someone not notice that?

    I don't know. I never understand why people pass me only so they can turd along in the fast lane a mile later refusing to yield, as though they've paid higher road taxes or something.If you aren't passing, GTFO of the left lane. If you aren't going to keep a better pace, don't pass in the...

    Uneven rear tire wear

    First suspect is the toe adjustment. The cause may be from damage or wear. Do not go to Good Year, find a decent, independent alignment shop that's been in your town since the thirties.

    AC Run Through and Repair

    Cut your losses (and, ours). Take it to an independent shop that deals with AC service. It may be as simple as needing a charge (good luck finding that Freon), a belt, an adjustment, or a leak, or it may be as complex as a failed compressor, clutch, or even the AC control unit (which has not...

    Front grill how to get it to stay on?????

    Thank you. This thread is seven years old.

    Running hot??

    Get a $30 infrared thermometer and check your radiator's heat pattern.You can skip turning on the heater. DSMs are full-flow, full-time, and all you're doing is moving an air control flap. They don't run a water valve to the heater core.
