It has more to do with the initial stretching of the bolts than the bolts working themselves loose. As the bolts wear in, they stretch. They don't all stretch the same amount, this could lead to issues with sealing in the worst case scenario. Probably best to just be on the safe side. I just...

Here's one more: V.C.28150 - This covers the products this thread is about. (a) No vehicle shall be equipped with any device that is designed for, or is capable of, jamming, scrambling, neutralizing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with radar, laser, or any other electronic device used...

Police don't know all the laws. I've got several relatives in the PD who will be the first to admit that. Hell I've been ticketed twice for things that were completely legal in the city and state I was in.... I beat them both in court since I knew the statutes that applied. Otherwise I wouldn't...

Actually, it is. Apparently in CA it's illegal to run them unless you are using your hi-beams. From another forum (includes CA State statutes, I have only checked a couple of these... I don't live in or visit CA so I could care less about the total accuracy of this list. The couple I checked...

Short of the ABS light, there is only one Brake light in our cars. It's not just used for notification of the E-Brake, as mentioned above. It'll also trip when your brake fluid level drop below a certain point. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) warns of a potential leak 2) warns of pad wear...

The only way radar detectors are effective these days is when there's an officer up ahead and he clocks someone in front of you... your detector MIGHT see some of the signal and provide a heads up. Yes, if it's laser, you're already hosed (usually). In most states the use of any device which...

Check the wear on your brake pads. The thing is that as your pads wear down the fluid level drops.... so, it could be indicative of the pads needed to be replaced.

The brake light is not only triggered by by the emergency/hand brake. It's also triggered by low brake fluid levels.

Have you checked out your cooling system? Any air in it (ie: waterfall sound from behind the dash when you start it up)? Is coolant getting blown out of the overflow bottle? Try replacing the radiator cap (they're dirt cheap). Try replacing the thermostat (they're also cheap). Does your...

Do a search sometime for "Full Contact Disc Brakes". Here's the only link I could find after a quick search which explains how they work: http://www.carbibles.com/brake_bible.html

Just because the rotors fit our bolt pattern doesn't mean they'll fit. The other factors include the disc's offset from the rotor's hub and how the calipers mount. If you can find one at a junk yard, try it out.

Is the OX terminal the actual O2 sensor signal? That'd be the best place to pull a signal if you're looking to build a DIY A/F Guage. You might be able to find data on signal per A/F on some of the manufacturers' sites.

A Dot/Bar LED driver such as the LM3914 would work great for this.

The speedo is analog and connects via a socket. When you pull the cluster forward about an inch it disconnects. Nothing you need to do there.

Yeah, I tried both of them with and without voltage applied. I might just patch in a different VSV for this application. I've taken a couple of the other VSV's apart, I'm familiar with their construction... too bad they had to go and mold the coil into the housing.

The guage cluster is easy to remove. Remove the upper facia, black, mounted above the guage cluster. Remover the center bezel and pull the accessory switch panel... then remove the screws holding the cluster in (they're along the top and bottom). Pull the cluster forward, disconnect the harness...

I've got the same problem... Does anyone know if this VSV "clicks" when voltage is applied or removed? Neither of mine do. I suspect that perhaps my replacement is also bad. I am getting voltage to mine from the harness, are you? For the meantime you can just bypass the VSV, you'll have...

I know my '88 TEWD has it. Unfortunately, that's at my dad's and I'm snowed in... damn snow. I'm gonna go ski off the roof.

In that case either an SAFC II or MAFT Pro will work fine for you. The main question left is who's going to be tuning it? If it's yourself and you're a quick study, I'd go with the NAFT Pro. If it's going to be tuned by a shop I'd see if any in your area are familiar with the MAFT Pro, if not...

ROFL.... I can't believe I wrote that.... my uncle would kick my ass. I do know better. I thought he was looking for the resistance not the dissipation it was capable of. :3d_frown: Never claimed to be a pro... I know just enough to get myself in trouble and usually back out. As for this...
