    Header Gasket Replacement Smoke

    I just changed one of the header gaskets which was leaking. For the first 30 seconds after startup it smoked around the gasket. I ran it for about 15 min and it hasn't smoked since. It also smelled like metal. Is this normal after a gasket replacement? Does the gasket had to set?

    Clutch Problem?

    Coming home today I got a weird grinding sound when I would push the clutch in to change gears. The shifter would also shake a bit. The noise would go away as soon as I let the clutch out. I got home and went through every gear on the driveway a few times. It only did it 3 times. I can shift...

    90 won't start just clicks!

    To get right to the point, my car won't start. All the starter does is click a few times. I took the starter out to get tested and it's fine. I have 12 volts at my starter and battery. I tried another battery and starter for the heck of it but nothing. I don't have any codes and all fuses are...

    90 ALDL Connection problems

    I tried all night to connect my laptop to my 90 but it didn't work. I tried using DataMaster, TunerPro, and WinALDL but they didn't work. DataMaster says my cable is fine but it can't communicate with my PCM. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt my car have an ECM instead of a PCM? I'm using...

    Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Grommet

    Does anyone know how to put a grommet on the brake master cylinder reservoir? I was told to push and wiggle but it only goes on half way then slips off. Is there any tips I should know? By the time I get it on, the grommet is pratically destroyed on the inside and fluid seeps out. :hb

    Sport Seat Cover Tutorial

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a site or whatever that shows you how to replace the sport seat covers. I have a 90 and would love to replace them myself to save money and just say that I did it. The only piece that seems hard are those little arms that hug your body (side bolsters I think...

    Rotors

    Im looking on sportbrakes.com at their rotors. What is the difference between the HD Rotors and regular rotors. Does HD mean exactly? Are these rotors a direct bolt on? Are these coated so they wont rust? Can I use my existing calipers? Does anyone know if these are good. The prices seems right...
