Have bought replacement scuttle panels- what tool(s) are best for removing the fixings without damaging the fixings? Thanks

Got this 1990 twin turbo manual for £250 last year and been slowly doing bits to it when i get a chance Looked like this when i got it Bought a dent puller for in work and pulled the dent out on the quarter While the filler was out i sorted the bonnet too Swapped the bent lower arm a few days ago Car wouldnt rev over 3k as its missing the intercooler so bodged up some pipework inplace so itll come out of limp mode

So, I have two MAFs, my original and a replacement I bought from Ebay some time ago. Without the MAF connected my car runs fine, hovering around 700RPM, but obviously doesn't rev past 2000rpm. Connect the MAF and there's spluttering, missing, stalling etc, but the car revs beyond 2000rpm, and can be driven - just not well. I tested both MAF voltages today - I got around 0.50v on both of them. It was a windy day, which didn't help, but nice to see the voltage climb with a strong gust. Am I correct that the voltage should be 0.80v? If so, does this mean they're both faulty? I connected my original MAF, car barely wanted to start...so I…

Hello, my Hicas problem rose again. Now, I will search and finally find the problem but....I was thinking about a solution that might suit several people. Is there anybody who knows how the Hicas and/or non-hicas PS-ECU deals with the different signals? I mean, both systems have parking-brake, brake, clutch, inibitor-switch, steering-angle, speed-sensor attached to it. I wonder why? Speedsensor I can understand but not the others. So, suppose I do delete the hicas-system as many others did, what do I do with the ecu? If I take it out I do loose the power-steering wich I don't want. Is there some sort of piggybag solution? Is there anybody who ever tried to make a …

Anyone know why my indicators would now only work on one side (passenger) and not at all on the drivers side? Even when the hazards are on, it's just the one side that works. I have checked the 10A fuses in the footwell, the relay seems fine. The bulb holders and wiring seem fine also. It's typical. Tomorrow is MOT time, and yet at the weekend they were fine! Any thought appreciated.

Anybody ever seen this before ? My painter showed me the rear bumper to what looks like heat bumps and advised to change it out for a smoother one if I can find it. Looks as if the shape of the rear end has went wonky in the sun at some point.

so this morning i decided to tidy up my boot build, i've never been happy with the position of the amp and never really got round to relocating it, so it's now under the boot floor i'm still not sure if i'm going to keep the sub or find something smaller like the slimline subs. and same same with the carputer project great bit of kit but still not sure if i'm going to keep it or move back to a single or double din unit. i do need to either replace or make new boot floor panels as the old ones are a little past their best. so i've gone from this to this (yes i know it needs to be hoovered)

Was looking at the official dealer japanese catalog today when I grabbed one in Okinawa and I´m a bit confused. Was there an option on the 98-2000 models where you could choose the veige leather seats with red stitth in them? or did I dreamed that.. I think I saw this somewhere years back.

hi guys bit of a quick one my number plate bracket has been attacked by tin termites and is falling apart as i want to eep an original one on there, is the JDM & U.S version of this part the same? part number 96212-30P00 also does the front bumper need to come off to fit it?

hi Guys, im fixing a crack on my bumper and have done the fibre glass on the back but was wondering what type of filler to use on the front, as well as on other defects (now i've cleaned off the non hardened plastic filler.) The reason i ask is that while sanding back, the existing filler used on top of the grp/gelcoat whatever you call it, resembles the std filler used on solid structures, P38/Upol/bondo etc. i mean the plastic filler is pricey and the P38 type is not. Opinions please.

Hi all, About 6 months ago i bought a second hand race logic traction control system and i am looking to get it installed/install it. The harness appears to be in good condition, with minimal cutting in its removal by the previous owner bar a few wires, and a full write up is available on how to install the unit but the only issue i have is not being 100% sure that the harness is as it should be and with my lack of electrical knowledge i thus would not want to self-install without assurance it is all as it should be and then can follow the guide easily.. Ive tried to find complete wiring diagrams to follow to make sure everything is as should be but cannot find mu…

Who's successfully re-trimmed their interior rear quarter panels (the upper parts that go saggy)? I'm looking to do mine and took it to my local trim shop as I figured they'd be able to match the vinyl and fit it correctly with heat and the correct adhesive. Alas, no, they advised that the material and manufacture technique would mean that they'd not be able to get the right match or fitment and showed me some swatches. The stuff they use is proper seat vinyl which is about half a MM thick and would not cover correctly and the grain wouldn't match nor the colour. Has anyone successfully done this? Mine need doing, they're not terrible, but they're not great. I w…
