Thanks for the info. After some additional measuring, cutting and fitting I ended up with the cover for my son's car. Total cost for some fabric, cord and salvage plywood was about $6.00. See the links below for some assembly pictures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/MarkBrad/hatchcover/MVC-3...

How far from the edge is each dimension change? See my crude sketch. What is the pivot pin diameter? Th...

I have searched the online manual on how to adjust the idle, but the change I made did not take. Can someone post the correct sequence for making the change.
1. Engine on /off?
2. Run the jumper wire?
3. Adjust the idle speed?
4. Pull the jumper?
5. Stop engine?

Two guys at the parts sotre swear by SeaFoam. They told me to let the engine suck up about a third can through a vacuum line until the it stalled, let it sit for ten minutes and start it up again like a flooded engine. I am going to give it a try in the next week or so.

I drilled through the two dimples in the bumper face and saw a metal plate. The 6MM x 1.0 screw threaded in a couple pf turns then stopped. I never could determine if it was the correct thread or not. Unfortunately the plate ended up falling into the bumper. Bigger holes squared off and plastic inse...

Well, we ended up replacing just the two lower motor mounts. The passenger side upper looked good. The "extra" one along with the two used ones are available if you need one. The lower rear mount was gone but I still have a rough idle in drive. I did find one cracked vacuum line and replac...

motor mount/ rotor question

My brother-in-law has been doing some work on the car., 94 1.6L auto. He says the donut hole on the motor mount I bought is off 1/2". The old one is in good shape. Could the original have "sagged" that much or is it the wrong one? The other two mounts have been replaced, the rear one ...

CONSOLE INFO PLEASE

My car (1994 RS) has a two? level console, but is missing the smooth lid. Is the stock lid the same or is this piece unique? Does anyone have one? Thanks.

Any nice 15" wheels

The car we bought came with the optional alloy 14" wheels and four mismatched tires, but all the same size. I want to upgrade to just 15" wheels and new all season tires. Being able to carry a spare tire that works is keeping me at 15" as well. Any suggestions for nice looking wheels ...
