Re: My Car Needs a Clutch; Any Suggestions?

Sounds like a plan, when i drop the T-50 to get my fifth hear back, I'll replace my MC & SC.

I ordered a new driver side exterior door handle. It'll be nice not reaching through to unlock.

Re: My Car Needs a Clutch; Any Suggestions?

Be sure to check inside your car and under the carpet for clutch fluid. After replacing the MC & SC, you don't want any fluid to eat through the paint. Where did you find the Aisin brand?

Front & Rear Side Marker Lights Converted To Flashers

Does anyone know which parts and wires to use to either retain the incandescent bulbs or convert to LED's?

Because safety and to updating the look and function of our Hachi-Roku's is fun.

Re: Worn LSD?

On the question of worn out LSD.

If you can break traction in a left hand turn, but not break traction to the right, is your LSD worn out and in need of a rebuild? And yes, it is mine.

If you do press it out, remove the C-clip so you don't deform the control arms. I ruined my original control arms because i did not know about the C-clip(pretty sure that is the right term).

You can remove all the paint and rust then repaint the metal pieces.

Re: Car Won't Start!

You can use a mechanics stethoscope. A short piece of hose held up to your ear or even your finger or a piece of metal and listen and feel for the injectors cycling open and closed.

Also be sure to ohm them with a multimeter.

Yeah. I agree. I could be wrong.

But is there any 'Stock' GTS without a LSD? I have yet to hear of one.

*i just checked on line. So my LSD WORN out because both tires move in opposite directions.

Anyone rebuild their own?

Re: What kind of LSD unit should I buy?

Jack up the rear of the car so both tires are off the ground. Rotate one tire and check to see that the other tire rotates in the opposite direction. If they rotate opposite you have an LSD. If not, then look for a used one and rebuild it for firmer lock up. It is your $$$ & ultimately your deci...
