Man, I can't remember **** about that thread. I just remember it had some intersting stuff in it. Maybe some home brew mods.

I have this weird squeaking that seems to happen at random, its kind of a light high pitched squeak and seems to increase as I pick up speeds but I haven't noticed it to be related to turning. And the weirder part to me is that it goes away the second I touch the brakes, I don't even need to touch them enough to start slowing down, just a tad basically. Any ideas?

I want to put some switches in the top of the center console. How does the black part of my console come of on my pre 97? I think it just pops off after the 2 screws by the actual console are removed. Right?

Sorry I didnt take the time to read all 1500 pages to get to this question.
I am thinking about upgrading my alternator, seems the system gets quite taxed when the a/c turns on, plus i am adding fog lights and maybe some running lights.
Who makes the best alternator?
What is a good price for a higher amp alternator?
i have seen them as big at 300??? will that melt your electrical system?
Thanks for any help!

AFAIK anything larger will require physical modifications and upgrades to the electrical system.

Anyone know the type of screw and thread size on a renix throttle body. Im looking for the intake tube to throttle plate screws. I lost 1 awhile ago and would like to replace it.

How bad would a 3/4" long 1/8" gap between my cat and down pipe be to my gas mileage? Theres no way to get the top of it welded. Any ideas as to how to seal it?
