Re: reuse head bolts?

Would not reuse the bolts I warned a friend not to do it na d when he did he actually snapped on off torquing the head down. Luckly there was still something to grab onto to pull it out. If your going for a head job just spend the extra, even if u have to wait for the bolts. U dont want to do it again

Re: Fog lights not worth a dam. Ideas on driving lamps?

I installed a set of H.I.D bulbs in the stock lenses and was a great change in vision. I have an NA 850 without foglights but put in my own with costom bracketing in the place where they usually would be. I got a set of H.I.D lights for that too. Wow what a difference and will never go back to halog...

Re: Stuck Ashtray

Push and pull on the ashtray a few times. They have a soft opener in the back that breaks off and if it is not there it is hard to kick the lever up to get it past the lock posiyion on the side of the ashtray.

Re: new turn signal bulb won't bink

I had that same problem. I went as far as unplugging the socket and found that the whole socket assembly had to be replaced since the little prongs the harness plugs into had rusted completely.

It takes a little two handed pushing from the rear of the climate control to get it out sometimes, mine took a little to get out but it will...

Fixed Glove Box and Rear Deck speakers.

I had a glove box failure but managed to get it open without hacking it to death. I found that a nice set of dental picks work awesome with a little patience. I happened to find someone with 2 complete glove box doors and only used one. I do have a complete door for sale if anyone is interested. I a...
