Re: Going to need a lot of parts, lot of help and do a lot of reading..
Just to give you an idea of how beat this thing is here is a walk around video on the trailer at time of pickup I have a bulletin for you: that won't pass a "beat" on here. It looks better than 75% of my fleet just sitting on the trailer. Denatured 91% alcohol will knock that mold out ins...

P80 AWD and Rs have that wierd dual exhaust with a single tail pipe. Pep boys actually has a decent aftermarket one. It loops over the left axle to the left muffler, then has a crossover to the right muffler to the tailpipe. Putting the tailpipe on the passenger side evens out thrust on the track wh...

For your spinning key. Try some WD-40 in the key barrel. It could be sticking key sliders. Once it has dried, try using some graphite powder on the key to see if that helps them move. I had to replace a really worn key on one car and that also fixed the issue as the key edges were so worn the key di...

Not Thors. I have a set of Thors on mine but they came from a P2. I did not recognize them at all, so great work from Matthew figuring them out. Chaosrob. Answers to your questions: 1) Yes they are re-useable if they are not damaged by reacting with the aluminum frame. 2) Yes they did use Loctite, b...

Well done getting that dropped! That red stuff is a thermal setting glue that gets activated by the heat of friction of tightening. You can reuse them if the heads are in perfect shape and you punch mark them to make sure they don’t move., the watch them for a week, month, and year. I use Nickel ant...

Same fuel pressure regulator for awd and R models, actually even an NA 1999 or 2000 will work.

Unfortunately someone cut the cat and flex section of the downpipe off this thing. I have managed to get it running and obviously need to procure a dp or spend the time to fabricate one. I found one with the cat on ebay for 402.00 but like everything on ebay I always question quality, I am posting ...
