You are my hero of the day, thank you! :) I'll likely just buy the parts new instead of trying to harvest them in a junkyard. Is there any particular place for shopping for MX3 parts that would be preferred? I'd like to not get assraped at the dealer if I can help it ;) I've checked the links here, ...

Thank you, sounds like an excellent plan. Is this something a non-mechanic can tackle (I'm rather handy with a wrench), or is it best left to a serious pro? It doesn't sound terribly difficult, but I am dealing with critical systems here and I just thought I should check before diving in.

And how do I solve the caliper problem?

Is there a writeup somewhere on how to do the drum to disc conversion?

Upgrade from old drums to discs

I have a 93rs (you can see pics Here and it's got rear drums and rather anorexic discs on the front. What I would like to do, is upgrade to all new 4-wheel discs, with powder coated calipers and rotors (the PC should just wear off the friction surface I'd imagine), and possibly even a brake-bias con...

Powder Coating guy in US?

I met him through here and contacted him via AIM. Unfortunatly, I've lost his contact info and I *really* need his services. If anyone knows who he ...

Re: CF Hoods and Hood pins

I know someone set up a group buy a long time ago. I was wondering if the company still made them, and where they could be found.

CF Hoods and Hood pins

1. Are the CF hoods still availible? I have a 93rs and I'm looking.

2. Is there anything special about installing hood pins that one needs to know before starting? Any tips on getting them perfectly centered? Best mounting location?

Re: Gas tank overflow?

1. The suction is normal, and healthy. Leave your cap on, engineers have spent quite a while making sure it works fine with the cap in place.<p>2. If you fill the tank, then drive a week, and open the cap and hear a Woosh, you're not leaking gas :) Since, if it's holding a vacuum, it's holding Gas.
