    New carpet set doesn't fit

    1AAuto.... Shop's gonna charge you near the same to just replace it. Might make a little $$ back on it, if you sell to a member who has the time/patience/resources to use...

    Don't you hate it when...

    I have had that talk with my kids (14-boy, 17-girl)... We will not ever share the details of my childhood. No need. I explain that these are the times in their life where they will get exposed to alot and do alot of things I may never find out about.... as it has always been for teenagers...

    New carpet set doesn't fit

    I got one from 1AAuto a few years back and it was VERY nice.... about $200 shipped off Ebay. I cut the sides too short and had to kinda tack it down (where the green pieces would hold). But had I not made that mistake, it would've fit perfect like Ideal's. I made the mistake of cutting...

    ** URGENT PROB! Pls read! **

    If the head's already off, you have easy access to the tranny bolts, etc... It will be much easier to just pull the block and do the rest on a stand. The $$ and time to tow to a shop, drop the crossmember, add a possible alignment, etc.... Just get off the PC and go pull that dang block...

    Gauging Interest In A Vented Headlight Cover GB

    I think the market is there, but they are a hard sell, when they can be bought cheap off of Ebay. I got a set, just like above, for about $85 (after shipping). You can probably find 'em cheaper tho. To me: Not enough profit/margin to set something up and have the associated headaches. Let...

    Coolant temp sensor differences between the years...

    Bringing this up from the past, 'cause I need a little help... I have a BRAND NEW 89+ engine harness and it won't fit any of the sensors which are on the ~87 engine I have now, or the JDM engine which I've just replaced. Are all the USDM T-Stat housing sensors the same, 87-92? Or, are there...

    Pic request (7M Auto)

    Looking for pics of where the tranny kickdown cable runs, as well as the throttle and cruise cables (to the throttle body). Sorry, dunno much about this auto nonsense and don't have sumthin' to compare to. TIA, E

    Ebay user names

    I thought U had the option to still respond (again) to the feedback, as the seller? Just politely state the facts in the small amount of space that's allowed... still, your feedback percentage gets dinged tho... that part still sux.:icon_evil

    Naw... not important enuff. Would've gotten the 3-piece taillights for $95 shipped. His loss, just wish he'd reply and say sumthin'.... I'll likely just go ahead and report him to Ebay or whatever, but am avoiding the neg-feedback thing. I don't know the guy and he may do something stupid...

    ^^^That SUX! I have a set of 89 taillights that Chevydude (Ebay name) won, but won't return my emails/invoices and hasn't made any payment. Been about 3 weeks now, but I know if I go and give him Neg-rep, he might be an @$$ (not take responsibility) and F up my 111 positives (100%). I know...

    87-92 mk3 parts mixing questions

    The engine harness and ECU need to be for the same model (pre-89 or 89+). Then, there's the dash connections... You didn't say, but what do you have now? If this is going into an N/A, it may not be that big a deal... just a lil' work at the dash/engine harness connections.

    Kickdown cable ?? for auto tranny

    Scenario... Old engine was a JDM (TB only had 1 nipple, etc). Replacement engine came from a 5-speed, throttle body has no place for kickdown cable. JDM throttle body had no place for it either. Looks like they ran the car with it unattached...? :3d_frown: What problems would that...

    FWIW... I used Eiesley's Machine in Tampa (Brandon), FL... I supplied the valve stem seals and they did the rest... valve job, seals replaced, cleaned, etc... Came out to less than $200. The 2nd time, I needed some straightening (a different head) and it all came to about $300. This...

    Help me pick an exhaust sys please......

    The HKS I have (3" in, with 2 outlets), has a great sound outside, but inside, the drone gives me a headache... it "exponentially" deepens the bass from the sub... Anyways, I may do like it was suggested and just add a resonator of some sort. I like the way Pioneers' sounds, but I want...
