  1. called Albie on cell, was a jigging error, gonna send new ones asap, gonna cut these ones up to drive till they come, thanks guys excellent customer support.
  2. upon further inspection both the braces that go to the lowest upright hit, pic wheni get home
  3. anyone else have a problem getting them to fit? they align with the holes but the brace between the rear uprights hits my lower arm mount and its off like 1 - 1.5", thinking of notching it or heating my lower mount and forcing it together
  4. i dont worry what my friends think but they think its cool, its my wife-she thinks im crazy= must be doin something right
  5. ya i figured that'd be too much but had to ask
  6. installing an AA lift, and want to lift the engine 3" to keep somewhat stock location, bad idea? the trans is dropped 2.5" and center brg is 1" i believe, will the inner cv's take it? anyone else done this?
  7. mine looks like that, plumbed from the plenum to the wastegate, the hoses going to my strut tower is for the turbo light and the second hose is to cut fuel to prevent damage(IIRC)
  8. try a different disty,dont install it, just plug it in, ground the disty housing and spin it while checking the coil wire for spark, and just a silly question: you have checked if the disty rotor is spinning while cranking?
  9. ya forgot to mention be very careful, but when you see how fine the wires are i think its a given
  10. i had a 91 that idled nice and surged when accelerating and would bog flat out, i pulled the MAF and cleaned w/ cotton swab and alcohol runs sweet now
  11. give the guy a break, not all stores that sell products state that they are distributors
  12. i vote Hankook RT01's they are M/T but had them on my YJ and had good on and off road manners 215-75r15s should do it
  13. whats the special socket look like and what size is it?
  14. you mean connectors between the two years or between digi and analog?
  15. can i put a regulaar dash from a 92 into my 85 turbo w/ digidash? what will i need to change? or should i try to get a reg dash from same year car?
  16. so i plugged in a 2 wire plug last nite and now it runs wicked, has some VERY light surge @ 4500rpm but it doesnt bag out at all, th dash hasnt flickered and i can get past 55mph, when i got it i thought it was a diag plug but guess not. just waiting for AA lift to show up, said 10 days by mail, been 10 business days as of toady
  17. ya im thinking its an overlooked plug or something
  18. you can try to heat it with a propane torch, spray some good penetrating fluid on it and try it while warm, then if it doesnt come wait 1 hr and try again
  19. checked the TPS, its pretty basic.i cleaned all the injector connections incase they were temp sensative, i noticed tonite when its missing the left side of digidash goes out, i plugged a connector under the dash together, white plug in w/ 2 black wires. grounds perhaps? will retest tomorrow AM when cold
  20. are the vacuum advances the same between turbo and non turbo distys?
  21. today looked for and replaced any vac leaks, re checked timing, replaced the duct from the MAF to turbo, tried another PCM(flashes erratic whike running) different coil, all made no difference, lastly as revving up i heard a snap sound, it was the EGR, unplugged it and will see how it behaves tomorrow morning, maybe its over EGRing and causing a misfire due to to much inert gases(exhaust)
  22. this may be a dumb Q but this car was A/T and now 5 spd, does this car have a kickdown solenoid and timer and thermoswitch?(read in manual, fuse 12) where are these components and would this affect the engine rpms and timing etc, today the ecm light was flashing erraically with no pattern at all, bad ground? doesnt want to go past 55mph and when it does a red light goes on under the speed reading(digidash)
  23. i read all his post but cant seem to find it, what was the problem in the end?
