    Mouse nest in engine :-(

    Well for the first time in over a decade of winter storage, a mouse (or several) got past my defenses and set up shop in my engine ('94). The area in between my cylinder banks is now chock full of stuff (mostly acorn husks) and the giveaway droppings on either side. It's about 2" deep the...

    Trying again now that it's nicer out: Looking for set of ViperMania windows

    Due to an unfortunate accident, my set of ViperMania windows is no longer in my possession. They are also no longer manufactured so I can't buy them new. Looking to replace them; if you or anyone else has a line on a set, please let me know. Thanks

    Hey "wah it's not 700 hp" folks- learn a lesson from the digital camera world

    In the early days of digital camera sales, the resolution capabilities of the first consumer models was far below that of 35mm film, and well below what you needed to even make a good 4x6 print. Slowly but surely, the imaging sensors improved, and 1 megapixel cameras gave way to two megapixels...

    Looking for ViperMania Windows

    Due to an unfortunate series of events, I am in the market for a replacement set of VMania windows for my Gen I. VMania is now out of business and PartsRack sold the last remaining set a few days before I called (figures!). Jon B mentioned that sometime in 2012, AutoForm will look into...

    Car gushing coolant after a light scrape on a driveway... ideas?

    So yesterday I was turning my '94 around to pull out of a development. I slowly pulled nose-first into a driveway to do a three point turn. The driveway had a bit of a slope to the bottom of it, and the front scraped a little as I pulled into it. No big deal, I thought, light fascia scrapes...

    Anyone have an idea how much to paint hardtop?

    Well, in an unfortunate accident, someone tipped over my "double-bubble" style hardtop and it landed on the cement floor of my garage. The nicks on the tops of the two bubbles are down to the fiberglass, so it's going to need to be painted. I have very little experience dealing with body...

    Transmission fluid- prev owner appears to have put in wrong fluid... what to do?

    My car ('94) is in for its spring checkup, and I asked the tech to replace my transmission fluid. He said that it appears the previous owner put some sort of gear oil in there ( a clear liquid) instead of the recommended Dextron II, and the two are not compatible. He said he could probably get...

    Drove about 1/2 mile on flat (non-runflat) tire- is it ruined?

    Last week, noticed a strange sound after a block or two- turns out rear right tire was flat. I was only a couple blocks from a gas station, so I just drove it there (very gently, 25mph) on the tire. Question is, even if the tire is repairable, is it now ruined from about 1/2 mile @ 25mph...

    Anyone ever successfully disable/remove their factory alarm? (Gen I)

    The factory alarm in my Gen I continues to give me problems, where the fuel cutoff gets stuck "on" and the fob won't disable it. This has been happening quite a bit lately (leaving me stranded) and I don't feel like dealing with battery disconnects or grounding green wires every time; I'd...

    Meguiars NXT Dust Attraction- My Observations

    Well, with all the hype surrounding NXT, I picked up a bottle this week and did a small section of my hood as a trial on Thurs night. The last time the car was waxed was about this time last year. The ease of application of NXT is absolutely great, and when I buffed it off, the area had a...

    Help! Have to relocate an amplifier from under the seat- how hard?

    I went to install my 1" Northwind seat lowering kit yesterday, when lo and behold I discovered an amplifier that the previous owner had installed under the driver's seat. It's actually my XM receiver. Anyway, it definately seems that with the lowering kit installed, I won't have adequate...

    First time for everything I guess!

    My beater car blew a power steering hose, so the only way for me to get to work was to take my "garage queen" Gen I out in the torrential rains we're getting here in Philly today. No slips or hydroplanes on the way in (~30 min commute), although a little bit of water got in where the VMania...
