Am I missing something here? I've got a 94 Del Sol SI that I'm trying to change my tie rod ends on. When I try to loosen the castle nut on the bottom of the tie rod, both the threads and the nut spin freely. I'm thinking this is because the tie rods ends are totally shot, but how can I get...

Hey Guys, it's been a long time since I posted on the website, but hopefully some of the old timers remember me. I've kept up my 1994 Del Sol for a while now, but recently it's transmission is acting up a bit. At a random RPM between 1500 and 4000 the transmission will change volume from...

Hey, I just got my goodridge stainless steel brake lines. Since I live in the winter wonderland I call Michigan with road salt, sand and other crap on the roads I am somewhat concerned about grit getting under the braid and wearing on the teflon underneath. I can clearly see there isn't even...

The time has come for me to get a catalytic converter once more. I currently have a free flow exhaust system, but I tire of a quite so loud exhaust. My muffler is a magnaflow muffler, so I thought I could get just a magnaflow catalytic converter. Anyone have experience with them? Any...

I need the passenger side, front caliper mounting bracket. Like I said, its a 94 Del Sol SI This model has an (apparently rare) caliper that swivels on the top pin that holds the caliper on, and a lower bolt that is the only means of tightening down the caliper to the rotor. It doesn't have...

Here's the scenario: 94 Del Sol SI -Right front caliper bolt breaks inside the caliper mounting bracket. -Tried to cycle heating (MAP gas) and spraying WD-40 to loosen it up. -Tried drilling and an easy out. Break the drill bit (see next) and strip the easy out. -Broke the drill bit...

Hey, I just noticed that on homemadeturbo.com someone is selling a B18B for $75. It says local pick up only, so that is why I can't get it, but I thought there are enough people that read this from California that might be interested. I have no idea who this guy is, I just noticed the ad, and...

Alright, so both my brother and I have Del Sols. It comes in handy when we are trying to compare something like an assembly, a noise, or in this case pedal travel. My brakes have been bled the same way as his, (push pedal, open valve, release pedal, close valve), on all 4 wheels, but my pedal...

I need to get a used front drivers side mount for my D16Z6. The mount is located just in front of the front driver's wheel well. It is the one with the holes in it, that is located under the P/S and A/C pumps. Here is a diagram. The mount can be found in the following cars: 93-95 MANUAL del...

To anyone who doesn't know, I am a mechanical engineer undergraduate at MSU. (I know Collin and Adam know) I currently am on the solar race car team. The team is tons of fun because we are building a car from scratch to go 70+ mph on freeways across country. (the team is new) Along with...

So I've been reading the posts about retarding the timing of ignition .75* per pound of boost being produced to avoid predetonation. I have always read about MSD's BTM being used when using the VFAC hack and other crude means of controlling the turbo (in comparison to the Hondata system) So my...

I need the crank pulley off a D16z6 engine that attaches belts to the A/C, power steering and alternator. I am willing to spend up to $50 shipped to 48912 (commercial address for lower UPS rates) or to residential 48840 by USPS. If anyone has one for sale then please contact me either by PM, @...

:wtf: Okay, so I must be offically a retard, but I can't get the bolt on the crank pulley off. Could someone please tell me exactly what must be done? In case anyone doesn't know, I have the D16z6 in the 1994 Del Sol which I am working on. I do have an air compressor and a nice impact gun...

If you haven't seen this yet... otherwise I haven't seen it on here so I thought everyone would enjoy this.Whistle Tips

So today I was at Lansing Community College lifting weights, just like I do every Mon - Thurs. When I come out from all the heavy lifting (I benched 220!) I go to disarm my car and notice the number of chirps - 3 - the number of chirps when the vibration sensors go off. Thinking its probably...

So I've had this funy squeek in my engine bay for the longest time, and I have always thought it was coming from the A/C compressor. To prove a point, I cut off the belt to the A/C compressor and the noise stopped. Playing with the wheel I found that while it DOES turn freely, it squeeks in...

Hey, I am replacing my drivers side window on my 94 Del Sol cause there is some bad scratches on it. I was just wondering where the screws/friction clips are on the inner door panel. I'd hate to mess up my door in the process of fixing the window. Any hints or trouble spots about removing the...

Does anyone know what kind of turbo a Ford Probe GT (1989) has, and any specifications on it, or where I could find any? Despite me trying to find information online, I haven't thus far. A friend of my brother's wrecked her car and wants to sell off some of the parts. If the turbo will mesh...

My brother's Del Sol (D16) is in need of a new cap and rotor. However, he cannot get the old rotor off. He has removed the screw on the underside of the rotor and pulled pretty hard, but it will not come off. Is there something we are forgetting in the removal process or is there any tricks...

I don't know if anyone other than myself and my brother (both owning Del Sols) has experienced this, but one of my little dash lights, specifically the green cruise light, has gone out. It is bugging the crap outta me knowing that it's broken. I haven't torn apart the little pod yet, but I was...
