Just bored lately. Trying to get my chops back. Now that i'm not Blind in my left eye. I haven't drawn on paper in a while. Rusty but i'm feeling it. Its coming back to me. These aren't perfect. The wheels are way off. just getting a feel for it again.

93 lumina (no airbag). I got a new [used] wheel today and in the instructions per my Chilton manual, it said to loosen the main (center) nut until it's flush with the bolt before removing the steering wheel. I did this and the wheel came off no problem. Now when I go to put the new wheel on my car, what is the procedure? I have a kit from OReillys. Also, the book says to mark the wheel and the shaft so that they're in the same position when I'm finished, is this a big deal? Can I try to just have it straight/centered/forward? Will installling a new wheel affect my car's alignment?

93 chev lumina. My front passenger side speaker hasn't worked since the day I got this car over 10 years ago. The driver side speaker worked intermittently until recently going out completely. I went to the salvage yard today and bought a new [used] speaker in hopes of solving the problem (at least having 1 working front speaker would be great!). I plugged it in and still nothing. That is the 2nd time I've tried another speaker. I also tried swapping the speakers around, no luck. How can to tell if my speakers are bad or if it's the wiring or another issue? BTW my front speakers are 4x6s (if not smaller) and I believe my rears are 5x7 (i'm not an audio guy so IDK what the standard sizes are). Can I take the small front speakers and hook them to the wiring in the back to see if they work back there? Likewise can I take the larger rear speakers and connect them to the wiring up front to see if they work up there? Will I damage anything by doing this?

I'm considering buying a 92 eagle talon. Currently it needs a new turbo and radiator which the seller has just he never installed them. How difficult is a turbo and radiator replacement on an Eagle Talon? I have a decent amount of experience with cars just never specifically with an Eagle Talon. I'm gonna be going and looking at it soon so is there anything I should be looking at closer on these cars. Kinda wondering why it needs a new turbo and radiator not sure if it was from the owner beating on it or was just its time. If anybody can help me please get back to me asap so if its a good situation I don't miss out on it.

I've been experiencing trouble with my door locks lately. This is the style they are (early 90s lumina) To lock/unlock you push the silver strip there. I'm having a couple problems: 1. the "lock" function doesn't work from the drivers door, it only works from the passenger side (I can do the locks manually of course). and 2. when I do hit "lock" sometimes one of the rear doors won't actually lock. I tore a door apart today at the junkyard to try to get this figured out and here's what I found: I'm assuming this is some kind of actuator It's got what looks like a ribbed condom on it and it pushes the rod, locking and unlocking the door. Is it possible that this is what is causing my problems? There appears to be one of these black boxes on each door. I would have taken one off and brought it home to switch them out but I had trouble removing it (wound up breaking it)...here's how it's supposed to sit: It's got those silver metal rivets(?) that hold it on. Here's what they look like on the back side: (upper left of the picture) There was only 1-2 inches to put my camera to get this shot. I really should have grabbed one of those boxes so I could have seen if it would work better (although since I broke it off, I doubt it would have worked very well anyway). So I guess my questions are: are these black boxes a likely culprit? How do you remove them without breaking them? It's hard to tell from the picture if a screwdriver could possibly remove them (although there's not enough room to get a regular screwdriver back there to begin with!)

Hi, My girlfriends Saturn SL has had the faulty EGR valve bypassed since before I have become familiar with the car:nono:. During the last 6 months it has developed the symptoms of a faulty EGR valve and I checked it to see a rusty drill bit shoved into the vacuum hose. Following the replacement of the valve I was wondering if there is anything else that may have been damaged as a result of the vehicle running for so long without any recirculation.. Thanks.

93 lumina. I got the steering wheel off just fine and the little plastic piece directly behind it as well(where the hazards switch is). I've been trying to figure out how to get this piece (notice finger) off. I removed the wheel, plastic trim, headlight switch, and turn signal lever. I then removed 2 big bolts, dropping the steering column so I could get to a star-bolt on the right side of it and I can't really figure out how to get any further. How do I get it out from the gear shift and ignition? Is this piece just a trim piece or would I have to get the whole column? (I'm wanting to make it all black since I got a black steering wheel) Not really interested in spray painting it either, tacky!

I've still got 2 or 3 ashtrays that I bought a long time ago, I need them gone. If anybody is interested, I'll see what colors I have left and provide further details. thanks!

Yep, building another one, this time, I am going to do it as the EU version, the color will be red, it is the Aoshima kit And the body in some white primer, and I am going to try out doing a wash for the panel lines, I am using Tamiya panel accent
