    Loose Glass in Rear View Mirror

    I had a buzzing rattle that was driving me crazy. I figured the side pipes must have made something loosen up. I finally figured out that the glass in the rear view mirror was vibrating at certain RPM ranges. Any body have a good fix? I hate to try to pinch the metal tighter for fear of...

    Some may remember I was not happy with the fit of the rear window on my coupe. I could not get the window trim to fit properly - the glass seemed to sit up too high. After trying various methods suggested here to compress the sealer, I gave up. Drove the car and that was it. Last night I...

    Any Turbo 400 specialists out there?

    Was returning from Kid's Ocean City estate on Saturday after working with VNV and him on his blower install and my Turbo 400 kept disengaging. Every couple of miles I would have to pull it over and 'rest' for a few minutes. Then it would run fine for a couple more miles and then disengage...

    Best Vendor for Front Springs

    I know there has been specific discussion regarding which vendor has the best spring to return the front end back to correct ride hight. My search didn't prove very helpful. My front springs seem to have given up the ghost overnight dropping the nose almost 1 full inch. And how did I find...

    Nice Day for a Drive in NJ

    Decided to take the 66 out for a drive in all this heat to see how things would go. No A/C so it was hot but, the temp never went past the 210 mark. I was out near Kid's place in case of a breakdown. Only problem I had was I got a call from a client and had to go to work. I'll take a 100...

    To 'Spare' or not to 'Spare'

    OK - informal poll, who carries the spare tire tub with a tire, and who just says the heck with it? If you don't carry a spare - what will you do in case of a flat and no chase car? Steve
