The plug farthest from the front will not thread in all the way and it seems to be angled slightly downwards. Get a thread chaser. THey are cheap and can buy them anywhere that sells auto parts or basic tools. most chasers are "one size" as they are tapped for the plugs that require 5/8&q...

actually, if you look at the cross sectional area of the roof, mine is less. IOW, it is stronger. The vehicle is not physically longer but the roof is. It does not have a whole lot more reinforcement in it either. Has a longer axis to rotate on. Not to mention it's 18awg steel. The physical unitbody...

Heat treated brass composite actually. Strong enough to withstand some torture but if they were to detonate, they would get mashed not explode and destroy the case. THe case was also reinforced with welds. I see many of the members are looking for more power. Trust me when i say that a 4agftzersuv i...

too long
too tall
needs to sit at 15deg angle to the right side.

.....unmodified however!

New sump and distributorless ignition system, maybe.
Measurements with above mods work.

good luck tho!!

actually, various parts will fit including shocks (front), some interior peices, engine swap is a good idea and a few other odds and ends.

Those will not fit. they are 4.5" bolt pattern.

If you are lucky to find a newer rendition of them aka mini supra's which are 13x5.5" they come in both 4x100 and 4x114.3.

Look on the back of the rim. One of the spokes will have the specs.

Yes it is actually possible to fit a 3sge into our cars by dimensions. the 3sge presents several problems tho: 1) it sits a bad angle in stock form. with the "g" head, it will not clear the hood. you will have to put a new pan on with a new sump (which is aftermarket made for this reason)....

Replacing the cutch is easy. (at least so -I- think) It's easier than pulling the motor I used a hayes clutch pack and a trd clutch. both are good. no complaints for either. be sure to get the kit. it will come with the clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, and alignment tool. While your there, p...

I used Ground Control coil over kit for my car. (drop zone brand too) THey were made for '91 + struts but still worked on the car. You can use virtually any brand out there that is universal because they are designed for a 1.5 to 2" strut dia. civics and our cars use a 1.5" and larger cars...

i'm still here. just don't post much. There isn't too many topics that i can reply too. as for this, yes you do need to put some reinforcing in. I've stated that many times. I did and it wasn't enough. The difference between my car and the rest of the members (so i am aware at this point) is that i ...
