Sometimes the motor is still working and its the plastic gear that is stripped. I actually had one of my motors not work simply because the grease inside the housing had dried up and became hard not letting the motor turn. Take your door panel off, remove the motor from the housing and test it with ...

I believe they are the only ones! But most aftermarket steering wheels will bolt on to that addaptor. The guys from Billet Specialties pointed me in the right direction.

Here is a video clip of my car. Running FPA ceramic long tube headers into flowmaster 2.5" muscle car cross over kit into flowmaster 40 series. Keep in mind motor also has a cam in it and the tips I think amplify the sound a bit too. http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o272/TimMBEuromotors/?acti...

Thats not a bad alternative but what Im thinking will be on the pretty cheap side considering and be a pretty clean install all being in the center console. There is a generic dock you can get from apple, that paired with a cable you can get that has a charging/power end and has rca cable out that y...

If you contact one of the larger tbird suppliers like Birds Nest in Oregon they give you a full run down of parts required to fix this and details on the repairs. Best way to go in my opinion.

Yea I dunno if thats going to work. I just dont think that there is enough room there for it to be functional and look right. I have seen guys mount their head units vertically in the center consol, thats an option, you dont need a remote if its right beside you. The other option is to modify the lo...

It is possible your two problems are related. Like the others said, sounds like a vaccum hose off your column is the problem which also means you have a large vaccum leak, motors do not like vaccum leaks. Most likely you need to get it tuned up and run a higher octane like the others said. Yes you c...

I am working on a solution for my car as we speak. I dont want to touch the dash or the factory radio. Im using the stock plastic tray as a template in my center console and moulding an ipod dock in it. Sub box fits up under the rear package tray beside sequential pack with the other speakers being ...

Eh Im on the fence with this one. I dont think changing to fuel injection is all that bad. Its not like your cutting up the car. LOL Your changing out the intake, adding a stand alone ecu and a couple o2 sensors. There will be some wiring involved but if done right I dont think its anything that cou...

I dont mind the rose biege either. Its a classy looking color. I guess it depends on what direction you would like to go. Maroon interior and silver or pewter color looks great, a creamy white would look really nice. Black and maroon too. You could go as far as silver with a maroon pinstripe to brin...

To eliminate the linkage from being the issue, try popping the linkage off, selecting Park or Netral manually right off the trans and try starting it or rolling it.

My motor was just rebuilt last winter but I was told by the engine builders to use 15w40 diesel oil like for the ford trucks. Has lots of zinc in it.
