    Aftermarket radio without display glare?(easy to read display)

    I've always been a fan of the pper end Pioneer line with the OEL displays. I've used them in a bunch of m show cars and daily drivers and never had an issue. Actually, that was the only one I COULD read with the top down on my Saleen.

    Cold Start issue

    My '94 D1 does this if it gets below 50degrees out. It starts fine, but runs like crap and chugs severely until it warms up, then runs like a champ.

    A/C blows fuse- Search failed

    I was wondering the same thing. The only thing I could figure would be extra effort to engage the clutches.

    A/C blows fuse- Search failed

    Ok, I can't seem to figure this out. My A/C works fine for a couple days and then randomly blows the fuse in the underhood fuse box. It's the recommended 30amp fuse I'm using. A/C has good pressure, and is ICE COLD when it works, and all the connections look good. This is on a '94 D1. Any ideas?

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    We had similar issues with Toyota 1Jz engines, as well as a few other all aluminum engines. We were able to cure most of this with the purchase of better quality head gaskets, and a good set of ARB studs to replace the stock head bolts. we also used a slightly higher bolt torque(partly for the...

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    It's sitting in my driveway, not to mention the dealership I was working at before going independant serviced the local Rovers. I guess it just made absolutely no sense to me how shops were charging more than we would have at the dealership. Our FR book quoted 8 hours for R&R heads, which is...

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    So what I'm gathering from you is that, even though these trucks are being touted as very tough trucks, they are built with crap components and junk parts?? Gotcha. Now, I was going to just apologize and say ok, but you had to dig all those other posts up.. So.... Do you really think it's...

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    Believe me, I've done cars and trucks of all kinds. I've been doing this for a day or 2. I haven't had to do one in a Rover yet, but I bet dollars to donuts I've worked on things WAY more complex, cars and trucks alike. I've done a few other things on rovers, just not a HG swap. Also, what do...

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    I see what you guys are saying, but I deal with similar stuff all the time. First off, I live in Wisconsin. Find a bolt here that isn't rusty. Aluminum blocks and heads are common on pretty much any vehicle nowadays. I guess I just can't see the complicated part of these vehicles, but I'm used...

    How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining?

    Re: How much is the standard cost for head gasket replacement including heads macining? How the hells is it taking 14 hours to do the head gaskets!!!! Christ, I can do them on a 4v Mustang Cobra in 9, and that's taking it slow. I can do the things on a newer 300ZX Twin turbo in less time than a...

    Humidors

    Check out www.cheaphumidors.com great guys, and great to deal with. Also, check out the Cigar Pass Forums, and Club Stogie. Both have excellent info on Huni's. Above all though, make sure whatever you get is lined with REAL Spanish Cedar.

    super tech oil??

    Super tech is actually recycled oil FWIW. It's re-refined by a common company(can't remember which one, Pennzoil maybe?), and distributed to Wal Mart in Super Tech bottles. edit: It's Quaker State.

    Forced Induction - Lucas EMS

    Megasquirt itself is around $300. It is very much DIY though. It does have a very good support network. As for tuning, you can either run a base map from another person in the network and tune it on a dyno, or buy a WB 02. I have a WB already in my toolbox, since I do a lot of that kind of...

    Forced Induction - Lucas EMS

    So, since my D1 is a '94, what are the operations controlled by the ECM, so I can turbo this badboy and run Megasquirt.

    Forced Induction - Lucas EMS

    I've been doing turbos for a long time. You can turbo any engine. I mean ANY engine. Run the appropriate fuel trims and boost levels for your build, and you'll be fine. it's all in the tuning. Btw, since we're on the topic, is there anything the LR computer runs aside from the engine? If I did...

    My wife and I would be interested in attending a fw events. Keep this thread updated with dates/times/locations and we'll try to make a few. However, since I'm not racing this year, I intend todo a LOT more camping/fishing with the family, so it could work out perfect.

    Any Idnies around Fayetteville, NC??

    There used to be a guy off of Yadkin, but I haven't lived in Ville for about 7 years now, so not sure if he's still there. There was also a very good private mechanic behind Lafayette Ford that did the engine in my Blazer, and I heard is good with just about anything.

    Wisconsin Rovers?

    I think Waukesha is on the other side of the state, but it's all good. I'd like to see something happen around here. I get bored easily, and I'm taking a couple years off drag racing per the wife's orders.

    I need the passenger headlight and marker light as soon as I can get them. Deer hit. Also need the driver side rear bumper turn signal/marker light assembly. Also, slightly less pressing is the climate control assembly(truck has rear a/c). The fan control on mine is bad. I'm also looking for...
