FD revival project- Cosmetics
 

Been busy recently, but first of all for all the help, Shout outs to Dale Clark for his help, and others that responded
Driving the car! Boy what a car. (have to remember there is a speed limit)
after 8 years of sitting, I have managed to get it smogged, it passed without a problem, new plates and current tags

I have done a compression check with a regular tester and each rotor came out with 110+ on all 3 sides.
That being said. There are no apparent issues mechanically with the car.

My next goal is to clean it up as much as i can.inside and out, and then get it painted.


1. Where can i get or what are they called?
the small clips with the bold that hold up the undertray and the front lip they have the nut attatched and it is a 10mm bolt
they either rusted or broke

2. Idle bounces when ac is on. But then it kinda settles down is this normal. I dont know first time ive had working ac

3. I want to try and get the alarm working if possible. Where would i start? Or is it even worth the trouble?

4. After some searching i found that Ray Crowe is the man for parts. IS this still true, and is he currently active still?
Do parts include interior/exterior or just engine?

Sorry for the long post, Any answers to these questions is appreciated.

You can pick these up at you local hardware store- look for U-nuts or U-fasteners

Extensive tune up may help this. the idle should not bounce.

Probably not worth it. You can check it per the factory service manual.

Yes, I just saw him a couple weeks ago. He can sell you whatever OEM parts are still available. E-mail crowe.ray@aol.com

Nice!

The idle bounce I would start with cleaning the ISC. Remove it, spray it down with carb cleaner inside and work it a few times with 12v. Spray some WD-40 in there as well.

Bouncing idle many times is just the ISC sticking.

If you don't have any luck at the local hardware store...I think you'll want m6 x 1.00
