Re: Timing Belt/ Weird Idle Revs
You also might just try and reset the ECU by unplugging the negative connection to the battery for a few minutes. It couldn't hurt.

Re: how can i clean my headlights?
You can use regular car wax, but it's not quite as effective and it doesn't last as long. If they're yellow, they'll still clear up significantly. But if they're all scratched up it won't work as well.

Re: Quality of these coilovers??
Man, was your guys main goal to lower the car and or change the stance or was it to improve the handling? <P>Those rigged setups don't sound like they're very safe. Screwing up your suspension will lead to poor handling and braking, and that can be dangerous at high speeds.<P>Have you done any real/...

Re: installing cd player please Help!!!!
If you're lucky and you search your glove box or trunk carefully, you may find two little clip looking things that you never knew the use for. Use them. If not, try the coat hanger technique. There are little clips mounted to the head unit that grab onto the sides until you use the clips to push the...

Re: gs gas mileage
From looking at all your relatively awesome fuel economy numbers, I'm starting to think that there must be something up with my '93 5 spd. GS. <P>Unless I *really* push it on or under the E mark, I never get more than 235 miles on a full tank. I've actually periodically calculated my exact m.p.g and...

Re: question for barry clark
Yes that is correct, it gets rid of static so as you don't get shocked whilst closing the door.<P>EVERYBODY who gets in my car ask me what the %^*&^ they're supposed to touch that for. <P>BTW, does anybody actually know how that works? It seems to be plastic, so I can't figure out how it works.

Depending on color and whether it is for the GS, I'm interested.<P>Looks like we might have a bidding war on our hands.

Re: Help finding Headlights
They are sold as one whole unit. The covers are not sold seperately, and I don't think it would be very easy to replace them correctly if they were. <P>If the problem is that they're cloudy or yellowed, use the plastic cleaner stuff. It works miracles, but it isn't permanent. If your headlight is cr...
