My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #16 – April 02, 2014, 02:01:58 AM Quote from: 50RACER;431673Nice find. I like the color. FYI, I have cruise parts, keyless entry parts, and a really nice black / charcoal rear package shelf.I had actually thought of contacting you for the necessary parts. I have fenders and doors and some of the hard stuff but very light on the electronics parts. I would imagine that the keyless entry will come back to the main control module. Cruise at this point is anybody's guess. Quote Selected

My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #21 – April 07, 2014, 10:38:23 PM Ok, got an update. Still haven't cleaned it, but I found out that the temp gauge seemed to be running a little hot. I checked and found that I had only one fan running. Found a bad fuse, now both fans run. Fixed my seat belt issue. Had a spare seat belt clip here that just happened to be the right color. Now I can buckle my seat belt. I traced the fog lights out and found I have power at the fogs, I haven't bought them yet, but I think the fog light issue just might be something as simple as burned out bulbs. I worked a little bit with my passenger door lock button. Seemed to be just like Stuck if you will. I removed it started playing with it and it kind of clicked and started working again. Don't know what really fixed it, but it works now. Great one less item. Next up on my list is to get the Oil changed so I know what's in it and focus on my cruise. I definitely will get picked up with out the cruise working. I have found that it is very easy to speed in this car. More to come. Quote Selected

Got a cone already that was going on my 5.0. But it could easily go on the TC. It already has a manual boost control valve on it. It's set for 18 PSI. Is that good? Quote Selected

My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #24 – April 08, 2014, 12:43:06 PM If it's the stock IHI turbo, 18 psi is right at it's limit.I personally run 16 psi Quote Selected

My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #26 – April 08, 2014, 05:45:48 PM Ok something else I just noticed the last few days on my way to and from work. The car has auto lamps and auto dim dials on it. The auto lamps turn the lights on, but they are on all the time even in the bright sunlight. The auto dim doesn't work either on the bright. Now neither one is a big deal to me as I can live without either one, but, If it is a simple fix. I am wondering if it would be that sensor that is mounted below the rear view mirror. I have and 'eye" for lack of better wording mounted below my mirror pointing out the windshield. Any thoughts. I am thinking if this is a simple fix then the more of the car that works properly the better off I am. Especially if these are all simple fix items. Quote Selected
My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #27 – April 09, 2014, 08:26:08 AM I would keep it to 15-16psi....until you know more about her....maybe after a big fuel pump...then more boost..Travis Quote Selected
My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #28 – April 11, 2014, 10:33:16 PM Well today, the Bird got new rubber on all four corners. While in the shop, I had them perform their little 30 or so point inspection on the car. Brakes, front end everything checked out very well. Antifreeze isn't as good as I would like it to be but that's easy to fix with a good flush. Got home tonight and finished working on my fog lights that I started last night. 2 new bulbs and some newly soldered ground leads onto the housing units themselves and all worked as needed. Now that they work, I plan to order the relay system for the headlights so I can run them together and hopefully not have any issues. My son's car the headlights quit working and I don't want that issue myself. One car was bad enough. Quote Selected
My new car. 88 TC 5 spd Reply #29 – April 12, 2014, 12:33:00 AM Looks good John. My TC had the left fog not working, found out power wasnt getting past the plug. Good thing for me I had an extra light harness!!! Did you guys ever get Ryans lights figured out? Quote Selected
