Thank you

Hoping someone who swapped out the fiberides with crabs can confirm that crabs use the same lug nuts as the fiberides. I assume the fiberides lug nuts are the same as crabs with just a different...

Man that looks awesome! Almost makes me wish I had not bought a set of crabs for mine (They are getting the gold treatment).

No sir. To my knowledge this car was never up for sale. The original owner approached me at a Cars n Coffee that I took my GLHS to and asked if I would like to own another Shelby.

BTW it was in...

Ended up being the turbo. A couple vanes would not open all the way op by hand. Installed new VNT and works perfectly now.

Reviving and old thread.

JT, any luck with the 89 CSX interior paint code? Seems.folks say S8 but all I can find for that is a Charcoal Pearl which is not correct.

Also, would you happen...

2 door or four door? If 2 door, how are the two black window trim pieces that the outer window door seeps mount too? Mine have plastic chunks missing from them.

EDIT: Just noticed this is old...

Looks awesome and because of you, I am now out about $900! LOL.. Got both the hood and bumper on order.

NP. Took it out and let the turbo eat on a on-ramp and in third WOT it settles in around 11lbs of boost. Think the actuator arm could use an adjustment, but I am leaving it there as 11lbs is better...

Yeah, I already replaced my sweeps. I actually posted a how to on the TD forum for this.

Man your black trim around the windows looks SO much better than mine! Mine has paint that has peeled off of it over the years and I have not decided if I want to address it by repainting it, or...

Here is the engine bay and the re-covered wheel

hope they work

Congrats on a great looking CSX from 102.

So I got my steering wheel back from getting new leather applied and took 102 out for a short spin (needs alignment). Initial impressions are the trans chatter is completely gone, rebuilt 555 shifts...

Update: Got the NOS VNT installed, new clutch kit, replaced the leaking steering rack while the engine was out, rebuilt 555, flushed out the engine, rad, and heater core, new t-stat. Got everything...

I just went through the same thing and realized that the coolant hard line with the 90* bend can go on with either end connected to the T-Stat housing. One way the line is TIGHT against the end of...

Took the OG turbine scroll off and found the vanes carboned up to the point a couple vanes refuse to open all the way by hand. I assume if a couple refuse to open, then all would not have opened. ...

Engine and trans are out of 102. First time ever pulling an engine and have to say it went pretty easy.

Pulled the turbo off along with the trans, clutch assembly and flywheel and engine now on a...

No real meaningful progress yet. I have basically stripped the engine and trans in preparation for their removal hopefully the weekend of the 4th. Down to just hood, shifter cables, powers tearing...

Sadly I wont be able to attend SDAC. I am hoping for next year providing we don't have any family stuff going on like weddings etc.... When they are way up North, I have a bit of drive...

All,

I have posted elsewhere in here my cars issue, but I thought it better served in here.

I have a 89 CSX that I bought in Sept from the original owner. The car had sat for 9 years in his...

Since it still over boosted with the vane lever arm safety wired in the wide open position, just for shyts and giggles with the safety wired removed and all systems restores I added a 2" to 1.5"...

No idea as the actuator spring is pretty strong. I have sourced and bought a NOS VNT-25 so hopefully that will cure it. I will then have my OG sent out for a rebuild.

I safety wired the vanes wide open and it still overboost, so to me that rules out all the ECU control systems and point directly at the turbo/vanes. I pulled the turbo air intake tube off and the...

Cordes,

I have verified with two different boost gauges that the car is making 23lbs of boost when it goes into overboost shut down. I verified the top actuator can port (vane open) is seeing the...
