    Looking for more A/C info for 134 changeover

    DITTO Same thing at the Acura dealer I worked for, at first everything had to be swapped then they backed off even replacing the o-rings after a couple of years doing retrofits. It was taught later that PAG oil used in R134 systems does NOT damage normal rubber o-rings used in an R12 system...

    possible crankshaft issue

    You should be able to hold me to this, but 89-95 cranks for the SC ONLY are inter-changeable. I found variances in the pilot bearing but AutoZone and everywhere has them in stock both ways. Just have to fig if it's a big one (about 1" in dia) or a small one (about 1/2" dia.) but also the small...

    i just raced my brother in law .. now she whistles

    Check the hose coming off the intake to the SC gauge. Same problem here after a rebuild, ran fine but whistled and wound down like a jet turbine.

    Securing oil dipstick

    I had the same issue even with the bracket re-welded. I just used some safety wire and wrapped above the small lip above the o-ring, and wrapped the other end around one of the torqued oil pan bolt head. No JB Weld needed since you twist it to tension like a turn-buckle once both ends are...

    Clutch Pedal Freeplay

    Look at the 'HELP!' products in the parts store for bushings. Word of warning, I replaced mine with the most solid bushing that fit, and since my master push rod was already egg shaped from previously worn out bushing, it ate right through the new one in about 3 mo. I need to pull the entire...

    '89-'93 SC Colgan bra for sale

    NO! snaps on a Colgan brotha',:cool: this thing is factory quality. I've worked at an Acura dealer in the past and swore Honda made the best nose bra, but they must have been outsourced to Colgan. This thing is well worth every penny, and I wouldn't waste my time with a LeBra, unless that's all...

    WTB: Waterpump bypass hose

    Also don't be afraid to trim the ends to fit to make the bend right. I had to cut an inch or so off and it fits the same curve as the factory hose.

    Texas sc

    Well the first installment of his mods and suspension, he took it out there. I think I remember him mentioning how high the banks were. I've been to MSR with him before, and the car is so fast and tight, I got motion sick. Big deal you might say, but I was currently racing motocross and have a...

    Headlight cleaning kit 3M

    Maguire's PlastiX is the stuff I researched and found to be easiest to get anywhere and w/ 2000 grit it works great. Never rub in a circle when touching the lens with compound or anything. Always straight strokes side to side, up and down.

    broken dip stick.

    I didn't have the problem of breaking it off, but had the damnedest ticking sound to find after a rebuild only to find the nice little wear mark, just waiting to grind all the way through the stick. I tried several ways to bend it but just not confident it wasn't hitting still. I leave it out...

    Texas sc

    One here in McKinney and two in the same house in DeSoto. Mine is just a little more than stock, a blue 95 almost all stock and a 91+ that has barley anything stock and probably pushing 385+hp. The hot rod is road raced and AutoX by my friend and his son races also in his 95. We finally got...

    Headlights....which ones?

    I can't say for sure which seller I bought mine from but when I was researching, it appeared they were all from China at that same price range. I paid $80 for both on my 92, and they fit nice, look good, but one small issue. After about three months the left one had the little metal thing drop...

    95 thunderbird svt????

    I currently don't have the means but would be interested in a CarFax on this thing. If it was a prototype, surely it wouldn't have been privately registered right away. If it is NOT a SVE(SVT) then it will likely show a new buyer and con-current registration\inspections\history. Curiously...
