    Synthetic oil in the 7M???

    When I bought the car back in August, the previous owner told me he had switched to synthetic oil 10W-40, and from what I remember, if the car is switched you DON'T go back. Of course, it's showing oil leaks probably as a result of the changes, so I'll be looking at changing out ALL the gaskets...

    Manual vs. Auto Radiators: Difference?

    Ok. I am in need of a radiator swap now because a mech pointed out that my welds on the old factory rad were weeping pretty bad, which is why I've been going through coolant every week. I'm getting a Mishimoto Aluminum radiator from Sethron in a few weeks, but I BELIEVE the Mishi rads are only...

    Install help: Eibach Pro lowering springs

    I just picked up a set of Eibach Pros used from a guy locally, and need to see if there is a simple procedure or set of instructions for installing them. I haven't searched yet (yes, I'm an idiot...), but I have to hop off and go do some family stuff today, and was hoping someone had a quick...

    Yakaz.com = My vote for the best new idea for a website EVER.....

    http://www.yakaz.com Okay. Here is what I think is the best damn idea for a website since auction sites first appeared. It is a search engine FOR auction engines that allow you to look for particular items anywhere in the country. Now, I know what you're gonna say. "Big deal, all you have to...

    Alright... WHO KEEPS LETTING THE ^&*% BIRD OUT OF THE CAGE?! - radiator hoses

    Now I'm pissed. I go to start the car up this morning and the radiator coolant light comes on after a few weeks of all clear. I get out, pop the hood, and the reservoir bottle is nearly empty again!!! I had it topped off after the thermo gasket was put back on and once more for good measure, and...

    Rear hatch shocks questions

    Okay. I picked up the ebay hood and hatch shocks to ditch the famous "Supra Stick" axe-handle mod, and am having some problems. The front struts went in slick as can be, and it's so much better trying to work on the engine without worrying about the car turning into Christine. The rear...

    Engine throwing codes 42 and 52... may need a new knock sensor...

    I just got two codes from my ECU this morning and am pretty sure what one of them is caused by. The code 42 being the vehicle speed sensor which is probably left over from when I swapped out my speedo cable, and another code 52 which is the knock sensor. I'll be looking into replacing that one...

    TEMS and lower springs dilema - Do I have options?

    For those who have seen pics of my car, I need to drop about 1" to 1.5" to get rid of the "4x4" height my wheels are displaying, and at the same time get springs that ride comfortable and handle well. My problem is I continue to use TEMS, so it's either the factory shocks or Illumina II's. What...

    Speedometer cable - Is this bad? (LOL!!)

    Got lucky. The speedometer stopped working a few days ago and I dreadded the thought of taking apart the tranny to replace the gear, when I decided to actually SEARCH the forum like I tout in all my messages. After reading, I got underneath the car, discon'ned the long cable from the short one...

    Questions about muffler/cat baffle plates switching

    A friend of mine commented about how she was able to get a "switched" catalytic converter for her Monte SS that allows her to switch the baffle plates in the assembly to "open" at the flick of a switch, and also said there are mufflers out there that do the same thing. Apparently for added...
