    A/C Evaporator

    I'm looking for a T-type A/C evaporator. A decade ago, when I young and so very wise, I decided that the A/C was in the way of plug #6, chopped the evaporator out, and slathered fiberglass over the hole. I kept every part, or so I thought, but I've discovered that my evaporator is MIA. I'm...

    I remember it being down a few other times over the years, but does anyone know what's happening with it right now? Thanks.

    Scanmaster 2.1 chip

    I've got a 2.2 scanmaster that I bought used, but I'm looking for a 2.1 chip. A friend wants to buy my powerlogger, but we both have 2.2 chips, so my box won't work without the PL. Anybody have one? Not the whole thing, just the chip. Thanks!

    Water pump stupid question

    I ordered a Cardone reman water pump from Summit. I got it in the mail today, but it doesn't look right. The impeller face isn't solid, it's kind of got a hold in it. Instead of looking like this: It looks like this: See how the face is solid on the first one, but has a ring cut out in...

    Failed CA smog.

    Ok, I knew it was going fail, but I didn;t think it would fail so nicely. I bought it from Idaho, where it's exempt, and the CARFAX showed previous emissions failures, so this was not unexpected. First, the numbers. HC was 73, max 88. CO was 0.23, max 0.55. NO is what failed, 947, max 768, and...

    Turbo Regal Service Manual

    I looked for this for a few days recently, and realized that other people have probably done the same. I found a few threads with dead torrents (and a hundred people saying that they would seed forever, good job guys) and out of nowhere found it in a place that I forgot. It's an ISO, so you'll...

    '87 Turbo T in San Francisco Bay Area

    $14,500 Looks pretty nice. It even has a GNX-style dash. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/4234050184.html I'm kind of kicking myself for not waiting a few days to see this. I settled for a really clean '86 in Idaho.

    Help with a huge project

    I'm not really asking for help, just garage space. I'm an Audi tech at Royal Automotive in SF, but we can only use the space there on Thursdays after our shift is over, and I'm pretty sure I can't finish this in 2 hours. I live in Daly City. I have no idea what's going on with my hunk of junk...

    Out of state title transfer inspection question.

    I'm trying to buy an '87 t-type from a guy in Lodi. It has a 6 point cage installed. Will this be a problem at the inspection? Also, do they care about the downpipe? All the stock emission stuff has been put back on and has passed smog in the past. I'm just worried about the visual. If it...

    WTB '87 GN near the San Francisco Bay Area

    I have about $8k to work with. The one I have took a dump on me and I need another car soon. I don't mind a stock one, but I would prefer modifications. Paint/body is a non-issue to me. No salvage titles, please. I'm just having problems with finding them near me.

    Heater core?

    Loud noises!

    Recently, i've started hearing a noise that sounds almost like a skil-saw every time i get up above about 5 PSI coming from under my hood. I suspect it might be the turbine wheel contacting the housing, because its always had a little play, but not enough for me to really suspect this... ideas?
