    Gas Gauge Needle Stuck

    Mine is not stuck but it definitely doesn't work correctly. When I first fill up it goes up to about 3/4 tank, then drops immediately (within 20 or so miles) to half and stays there for the majority of the tank until it drops down all the way as I'm getting closer to running out and the light...

    those with AFR Gauges.

    I used a fuse tap into the ignition fuse in the fuse panel by the drivers left knee. On my 96 it was the very bottom right fuse

    Am I missing the point of scangauge?

    Mainly because the scan gauge is always plugged in and in front of me. I have the dongle and an app for my phone that I use for other things but it's not always hooked up and reading information as soon as I get in the car. Just me but it makes it easier. Not sure if it's really worth the...

    Am I missing the point of scangauge?

    I got one a few weeks ago and like it so far. I just installed the supercharger so it's nice to be able to monitor my timing advance. I also have it set to water temp which is good since it takes a lot of variance to make the analog one in the dash move, so I like to see if I'm up a few...

    Clogged breather = diff leak?

    I developed a slow leak at the bottom where the third member bolts to the housing and I just re-torqued all the nuts the hold the third in place and it stopped the leak (at least for the last few thousand miles so far)

    Looking for CarPlay headunits

    I have the Alpine ILX-107. It's wireless and I love it. Just leave the phone in my pocket and it automatically connects. It's a little expensive (or at least was when I got it a couple years ago) but worth it for me. And it works fine in the stock radio position even being so low in the...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Got the 35's on. I was planning on waiting but the 5.29 and 33's was getting annoying. 35's seem to be perfect. No rub so far with normal street use and I was a able to flex it out off road today and it rubs a little but not nearly as bad as I thought it might. I did hammer down the pinch...

    Left-Right springs.?

    To compensate for more weight on driver side. Fuel tank, battery, etc.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I grew up in Juneau and last I heard the state was talking about cutting the budget and getting rid of the ferry system. Hope that doesn't happen! A lot of the coastal towns depend on it especially with no roads out. I remember going to high school sporting events on the Ferry. Good times

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I agree 100%! I got the Alpine ILX107 with the wireless CarPlay which is a fantastic feature but with no volume knob it's ALMOST not worth it!

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Not today but in the last couple weeks got done with a few projects. Re-geared front and rear to 5.29 thanks to ECGS for a super simple and cost effective route. Rear is leaking ever so slightly from the bottom but I'm in no mood to redo the whole thing right now. All well. I'm currently...

    Left-Right springs.?

    I don't know if they are or not but if one is slightly taller it should go driver side
