    88 vs 89+ jdm rear subframe question

    I took a gamble and cut them in half with a dremel and hit them a few times with a hammer and there was no problem getting them off. Thanks.

    88 vs 89+ jdm rear subframe question

    Hi all, I recently picked up and 89+ rear subframe from a JDM parts place to replace the cracked one in my 88. As I was about to put it up into the car today I noticed a slight difference at the 2 rearmost mounting points. I have solid subframe bushings and as I went to put them on, I realized...

    Shit. Didn't even think about them being grounded... but the bracket was not bolted to anything since the swap and I never had a problem. I guess ill try to put the stick switch back in and see what happens... didn't wanna have to butler the coolant for the 7th time.. ---------- Post added...

    So, i am safe to install the temp sensor for the fans in the stock location using an adapter? What size and thread is the stock hole in the water neck?

    Jumped out the fans and took it for a ride. It stayed about 190 while driving and when stopped at lights went to about 180. I guess that was my problem! So, which thermostatic switch would you recommend? And is like to delete the stock gauge and install the probe there. What size is the stock...

    That's the part we miscommunicated about. Okay. I figured that will be much better. ---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ---------- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HDA-3651/ This?

    I don't understand what you mean by a thermostatic switch. Is the probe unit not a thermostatic switch? It is designed to turn on at 180* apparently (but can be adjusted for higher temps) Do you have a link to what it is that you're talking about so I can better understand? As far as I knew...

    Where should the probe from my e fans be installed? They cycle for about 5 seconds. I just realized. even with the car hot as hell. could the probe be installed in a spot where cool air is getting pulled passed it and shutting it off??
