  1. Hey Gary, His car has a different sensor. It has a

    harness already attached. Check it out -

    Also the one for my 87 has a different harness and it's not

    called a "coolant temp. sensor" for some reason. It's referred to

    as an "air charge temp. sensor" in the catalogs I've looked through.

    Makes sense that the guys at PartsPlus couldn't even find a listing

    for a CTS for my year. Check it out -

    It's weird how big a price difference there is between those two.

  2. As far as I know, ABEC is the rating of the bearing manufacturing tolerances.

    ABEC-1 thru ABEC-6 I believe. ABEC-6 being the best. And the part number

    should be the same for most manufacturers. It refers to the dimensions of the

    bearing (skf 6200, ntn 6200= same thing)

     

    Here's one -

    The 2Z after the part number means it has two metal shields. Now one thing

    you need to know is whether the stock part is supposed to be oiled or greased.

    I would imagine they should be greased, not oiled. Grease lasts longer and helps

    keep more dirt and moisture out of the small opening between the inner race and

    the dust shield. Just my .02 though.

  3. I did notice that the carpet in the bag of the Legacy I was checking out at

    the JY was thicker than in my GL. I used a bunch of soft foam bricks I scored

    at my work and stuffed all the holes in the back. Like where the jack goes and

    the little hatch under the carpet and wherever else I could stuff it. It helped,

    but I'm still thinking about putting something under the carpet. This stuff

    would be great, but it's not cheap.

    Or this

    Or a cheaper version

    And then there's the old stand by carpet padding

  4. yeah i went though oakland on 580 the other day on my way to the bay bridge and gosh that downtown has a lot of hills. stockton is flat and if you have been here before you know what i'm talking about. ha there's a saying here in stockton that goes like this, "in stockton there are more cows than people" :lol: . now san jose, gosh i miss san jose :( anyway san jose is not that hilly though.

    Well I'm sure you must have noticed the hills that run alongside 580. That's

    the East Bay guy. Plenty of steep streets. I lived at the top of a street in

    Hayward that was steeper than 99% of what you'll find in SF. That was a

    royal PITA. If somebody pulled out of their driveway while you were driving

    up the hill and you had to stop for 'em, it was almost impossible to get going

    again without the HH. Not to mention the huge stress that the clutch would

    have to endure without it.

  5. ha not all of the bay area. okay SF and oakland might,but not san jose :grin: .

    I didn't say EVERY city in the Bay Area is full of steep hills. I should have

    said East Bay I guess. Oakland, Richmond, Orinda, Berkeley, San Leandro,

    Hayward, Fremont, etc. all have plenty of places where the HH comes in

    handy. And yes, San Jose has a few as well. Now Stockton is a different

    story.

     

    I figure that not having it would put a lot more stress on the clutch if

    you live somewhere with stop signs at the top of steep hills.
