    Transmission mounted exhaust bracket

    My car has California emissions so maybe that's why it has the bracket? I don't recall the manufacturer of the downpipe. It has a sort of corrugated flex section kinda line those you see on an 18 wheeler exhaust. Thanks for your help! One last thing. Did you use the factory mounts?

    Transmission mounted exhaust bracket

    I am installing a LIPP cast stainless turbo elbow with a 3 inch opening and a full 3 inch downpipe. The od of flange for the downpipe is about 1/2 " larger than the elbow's od. This leaves about 5/32" of the flange for the gasket sealing surface NOT including the flanged part of the piping that...

    Turbo oil lines

    CYFi6 you are right as to the delima and what I was thinking of doing but after hearing what you and others are saying about having to remove the turbo anyway it makes me think I would be just as well off to keep the factory lines and save the money that would have been spent on quality soft lines.

    Turbo oil lines

    When removing my turbo oil piping it was apparent the reason it caint be removed without removing the turbo is because there are studs on both flanged ends. I was thinking of removing the studs on the engine side and replacing them with bolts. The gasket could be held in place with rtv or a thin...

    Electrical connector interpretation

    If I'm looking at a manual that is refering to locating a specific pin on a connector are they looking at it from what I would call the back? In other words looking at the connector while pluged in OR while looking at the connector as though it where unpluged from the other side?

    Missing bolt/trim

    thanks so much! i've had the car for a year but haven't had much time too do much with it. It has 42K miles on it and runs very well. I've cleaned it up some, added Gates blue timing and drive belts and all front engine seals. BTW what does the slide do?

    Missing bolt/trim

    thanks for the rapid reply! Actually the pic is on the center hump opposite of the door, On the passenger side opposite there is a cover that goes toward the front and it looks like its covering a wire but without pulling the seat its hard to see.

    Missing bolt/trim

    I have a 1987 model and behind the drivers seat on the transmission hump there is a large bolt hole and there is an impression in the carpet suggesting a piece of trim was there. What did the missing bolt hold down and what was the trim covering?

    Timing belt tension

    That sounds like one of the easier to understand methods and I think thats what I'll go with. The TSRM says to install the belt on the pullys starting with the crank and work counterclockwise around the rest of the pulleys. Then it says to "release the idler mount bolt until the pully is moved...
