    1995 sunroof help

    Just a quick note; when I installed mine, I found it much easier to remove the sunroof glass using the 6 torx/allen bolts (be careful you don't drop a screwdrive on the sunroof like I did. I got lucky, after my heart attack).Also, the two halves of the shade are totally separate and don't...

    Decided to spruce up the instrument cluster ... lesson learned.

    Setting needle position is easy with a datalogger or OBD adapter. Plug the cluster into the car (with the front plastic removed), then drive it to a gas station and fill up to full. Don't fill up halfway; going to full is the only way to get a perfectly reliable reading. Put the gas needle on as...

    Re: Ford and MazdaI can't find anything linking Mazda to Ford until at earliest '79, when Ford bought a small (3%) stake in Mazda (Not the other way around. Mazda may have made some vehicles for Ford, but they don't exactly have Mazda to thank for it.

    Sunroof Operation Question

    I knew about the windows, and those work great. I was specifically referring to the Sunroof, which, according to the tech manual, should be the same.Heated mirrors would be cooler than cool.

    Sunroof Operation Question

    So I found a Tech-Manual PDF online, was reading through it. The manual says that you can open or close the Sunroof with just a single press of the button. It also says that you can operate the sunroof for 30 seconds after turning the key off.Mine will open with one touch, but none of the...

    Good Header?

    Beware that with a good driver, a GS-T will be faster around a road course. Less weight makes a huge difference.A GSX will almost always be faster in a drag.

    Been test driving cars...

    If I want a muscle car fix, I'll drive down to my grandparents. My Granddad has a 72 Z28 that re just finished rebuilding. Normally, I'm all a handling guy, where weight and suspension matter just as much as power, if not more. Maybe someday, I'll be able to pick up a Catterham 7. Catterham USA...

    Those may be the only cars I've ever seen with a negative power-weight ratio. ROFL

    Yeah I found that out. Much better built. And those doors... *swoon*Anyways, it would be nice to let people into the back seats without needing to get out.

    CTS-V brakes questions

    Lemme guess; they let the caliper hang from the brake line?:nono:Brakes aren't hard, especially if you're only doing the pads. You just have to make sure you do everything.

    Really bad sputtering in throttle

    Too much fuel will cause just as many problems as many problems as not enough. This sounds exactly like when I took my turbo off to clean it up, and after I put it back on, I forgot to connect the two halves of my UICP. Short, rough test drive for sure.

    Been test driving cars...

    Sort of. There is a compression stroke on a two-stroke, it's just powered by the momentum of the engine (or by the other cylinder). a single-cylinder two-stroke runs smoother than a single-sylinder four-stroke because the momentum only has to carry the engine through the compression, instead of...
