[Lives4Speed aka Eric]

Excellent seller.  Posted that I needed a power steering pump bracket, and had it in my hands less than a week later.  Would be glad to do business with Eric again.

 

Thanks

What all does the HS9116 Pt include?

[Questoin about TURBO door handles...]

Just thought I'd add to this, my '86 was manufactured in Dec of '85 and it's got the TURBO handles.

[Weight Savings Anyone?]

Looks like fun...  so I guess you decided not to sell the Red car     Wanna sell any of that interior???   ;D

[Now you can have indiglo gauges too!!!]

From the way it looks, you can place an order, along with a CC Number, and once 20 orders are placed they will make the guages and send them out.  They will not charge your Card until they send the guages.  So, to answer your question, it is still available, but who knows how long it will take to get 20 orders.

Maybe if anyone seriously interested would let the rest of us know, it may promt others to order.

[New leather on front seats]

Unless you want them perfect, keep an eye on here or EBay for a nice set.  They can be had for a lot less than re-upholstering.  If you plan on keeping the car a long time, you may look into pre-88 style seats.  IMO, they are much more comfortable and have less wear problems.

There, that's the right post   :

[I have a question about our cars...]

This is just a guess, so someone feel free to correct me.  When you lock your brakes up or are in a wreck, the seat belts lock up.  I THINK those levers release that lock in case of an emergency.  That will loosen up the belt to allow you to get out.

 

Am I right?

Don't forget, if you do it right, you can have big sound without going big.  Just takes some imagination.

[Picture of fog and parking light mod]

not to put a damper on this but the reason they didnt come like that stock is its not legal. atleast not in va.  law says that you can have foglights on when your low beams are on and when you hit hight beams they have to go off.  When they were imported for them to sell everywhere they had to pass this.  Thats how all new cars are.  Â 

 

 

I don't think this is a federal law.  If it is, it's not enforced around here.  I am always seeing cars driving with just parking and fog lights on.  My '91 T-Bird SC had to have the headlights on for the fogs to be on, but my '93 Olds Bravada will allow them to come on with just the parking lights.  Who knows, I don't think it hurts anything, and it looks cool.  If we could just put enough candlepower behind there to eliminate the pop ups.

[Move Seats]

great idea, it is a little cramped not to mention very little head room.  anybody 6'3" and autox'ed their car before? i dont think i could wear a helmet inside there.  driving isnt too bad once you get accustomed to it but getting in and out is tough. if you guys figure it out let me know.

 

 

I was actually surprised at how easily I could get out of my 'Quest.  I'm 6'2, and drove a '91 Thunderbird SC before I bought my '89 Quest.  The T-Bird had a lot more room once I was in, but was kinda tough to get in/out of.  The drivers seat in the 'Quest is a pretty decent fit (with early style seats), but the pass side could stand to move back a few inches.  It would be nice to be able to stretch my legs on an 8 hr trip.

[Move Seats]

My brother and I have considered this too.  The only way I can think to do it would be moving the seat back on the track.  I haven't looked to see if they are bolted or riveted though.  Im sure it can be done, it just might take some imagination.

WxDxH of box Divided by 1728.  This will give you volume.  All dimensions should be interior dimensions.

[Now you can have indiglo gauges too!!!]

And they will only make them if they have 20 0rders huh?  That bites!!  Maybe the dials from a different car can be used?  Wonder what it would take to make them.

 

<shrug>  Oh well, guess I'd better get my car running first.   :

 

Jake

[Now you can have indiglo gauges too!!!]

Those are awesome.  I'd definately be good for a set.  They would eliminate the backlighting right?  No more orange glow?  Have you had any other interest in this?

[Thoughts on the 4g63 engine in the quest]

Awww... maybe you're right, but I think the little logo looks kinda cool.  Now he should just back it up by swapping in a Viper V10.

[Aftermarket radio w/steering controls]

Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket or non-starquest radios that will work with the steering wheel controls?  I'm spoiled to my Alpine in my other car, but it's too easy to lose the remote.  :-/

[Alternator bracket]

Can you tell me if the dealers would still offer this?  If not, where can I get hold of one?

 

Thanks

Jake

[Alternator bracket]

Has anyone been able to come up with a bracket for the alternator that will eliminate the A/C section?  I think it was a silly design to have one big bracket for the both systems, and would like to clean up the look down there.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Jake

[Fog Light Qution]

Yes, this is an old thread, but being new, I had to put in my 2 cents.  You can safely and easily go with high power fog lights (aftermarket kits) by adding a relay.  Switch the relay with the stock power wire, and run as big of guage wire as you need from the battery to power it up. You may want to add an inline fuse, but that's purty easy, too.  Hell, do it right and you can just use your fog lights w/o popping up the search lights.
