    February Car of the Month

    Thanks everyone! @maxmk8: I actually used red tape to cover the chrome. A few years ago a member named Marcus (user name "noddy") was selling tape that was for putting stripes on boats. It came in all kinds of different colors. For less than $5 I got a 50ft roll that easily did the job...

    How NOT to steal a SideKick II

    The story goes like this... June 6th, 2006: The people in the pictures below have my friend’s T-Mobile Sidekick. Instead of doing the honorable thing when finding someone’s phone in a taxi, they instead kept it. I have found 8 cell phones in the last couple years in taxis. EVERY single...

    Results using Zaino Z-PC and Porter Cable 7336 DA

    Quote I just don't understand one thing though, when you use a polisher doesn't it strip away a lot of the clearcoat?! I mean logically speaking you're not really applying anything new to the car, you're just rubbing off a top layer?! You are correct that it strips away some of the clearcoat...

    8" speaker

    RE: speaker Here's an idea of what you have to work with back there. The silver is sound deadening... without it you might have another 1/16" of room. http://www.lincolnsclub.org/forum/user_files/1577.jpg http://www.lincolnsclub.org/forum/user_files/1578.jpg...

    Traction Control / Overdrive Default off Module- working prototype

    Sounds pretty cool. I think the Gen 2 drivers would especially like it since their traction control isn't just a simple button.

    Aftermarket ASC Sunroof wiring

    I went and took a look at my fuse panel, and whoever installed my sunroof also did the cram and jam method (cram the wire in, then jam the fuse back in) that you described. The red wire was in fuse #12 and the orange wire was in fuse #14. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it...

    Aftermarket ASC Sunroof wiring

    Try this: 1) Hook both wires to 12v, and then open the sunroof. 2) Disconnect one of the wires. If the sunroof closes, the wire that is still attached requires constant power and the wire in your hand needs to be connected to run/accessory power. If nothing happens, repeat 1 and 2 but remove...

    I set my seat and mirrors for 'memory 1' and it won't stay???

    Quote My '97 also has that switch.... 1st gen doesn't have a switch; it's imprinted on the shell. I have two remotes, one says "Transmitter 1" and the other one says "Transmitter 2." A switch would definitely be more convenient though.

    I set my seat and mirrors for 'memory 1' and it won't stay???

    If you have a 1st gen ('93-'96) look on the back of the remote. It should say "Transmitter 1" or "Transmitter 2." It corresponds to the memory position that it will set the seat and mirrors to when you use that remote.

    digital video

    Update drivers? Make sure you have the most recent drivers/ updates for your media player and also your video card and sound card. That's about all I can think of, hopefully if that doesn't work someone else has an idea.

    digital video

    Are you playing it directly off of your camera, or transferring it to the computer first? Also, how fast is your processor and how much ram do you have? What kind of camera?

    a/c stoped working

    It probably isn't leaking refrigerant, because it wouldn't leak down that fast... unless something cracked and there was a major rupture. Maybe something with the compressor? Does air still blow from the vents?

    What do I need to do...

    Sounds like you have the right ideas. When I got my dynotune, I got a new air filter, new fuel filter, cleaned the MAF, and I had to clean the crap off the computer connection thing (which it sounds like you are ok since you already have a chip.) I don't know about the seafoam, and maybe some...
