How about a missing blow off valve. Im missing it completely. There big hose that I guess comes out of the intake is just clamped off with a cork. The little nub on the fender that black plastic piece that comes to a point for a vacume line is always shut. The vacume advance in the rear on the passanger side also blocked. What the heck??????

I think that he's talking about n/a modifications, not fixing things like sunroofs and stuff. I know you guys are asking for a write-up (not neccessarily from Agent D even) but I think thats what he had in mind with the write-ups

there are a lot of different techniques to it that are to be used in different situations. I'm going to give you some basic and safetly advice. go find a remote parking lot first of all to learn in. don't try it on the street right away because you'll be likely to break something on your car or injure an animal/person or something (it'd be good to try in the rain since its a lot easier to break traction and is nicer on the tires). in the parking lot pull away from the corner (possible to brake while doing it) and once the the weight transfers to that side pull HARD into the corner and press down on the gas. once the back end goes out pull the wheel back the other way (countersteer). I hope this is helpful. if it doesn't make sense then I blame it on it being almost 3 am. if you like drifting you should check out this new drift forum that started a little bit ago.
www.driftcore.com
there are people here who will be able to explain it a lot better than me. there are even a few drifters from japan there.

good luck.

How about fixing a stuck sunroof, or just removing it for replacement.

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with Jaybr here, a sunrooof howto is much needed...For example, the Hayne's book doesn't even cover the sunroof (no pun intended).

wow, it's funny how ppl are asking the same damn questions 4 years later. what's ever worst is lately some of these topics have been covered with great detail and the threads are just left to die... not even to become a sticky!
