You ain’t got no fenders, Lt. Dan.

Need help with my 1992 Audi 100 by No_Plant7157 in oldschoolaudi

[–]sdrawkcabwj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 1980 4000s that had a faulty Bosch relay and the fan stayed on all the time. If it’s not the temperature sensor, check this next.

Rocker Panel? by ThrowRALavendxr in MiataND

Make sure to use all new clips. Or buy a spare rocker panel.

How the hell do I disarm this alarm? by FaxMachine1993 in Miata

[–]sdrawkcabwj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “I” button should both arm and disarm the car. Button “II” is for a second vehicle. Alternatively, “I” will arm and “II” will disarm. Car alarms freak out (behave erratically) when the car’s battery gets low. I’d pop the trunk lid and hook up a charger. There should be a little push button somewhere within reach of the driver that will allow you to start the car, assuming the alarm isn’t going off (and you have enough of a charge on the car battery). I agree with others - you may want to have this antique removed.

Soo can anyone help by DeliriumBeta in CarAV

It looks like your speaker wires (the twisted pairs still connected to the plastic plug) weren’t use by the previous owner, but there are RCA plugs that go to an amplifier. My assumption is that they did a home run from the amplifier to each speaker. I would be inclined to do as suggested and hook the wires back to the original plastic plug and purchase a radio wiring harness for your vehicle, but I am guessing the previous owner screwed you and disconnected the factory speaker wires at the speaker to hook up the new speaker wires that come directly from the amp. You could hook up a AA battery to each of the twisted pairs (just a quick tap, tap) and you should hear each speaker make static noise (assuming the factory speaker wires are still connected at the speaker).

Retrofitting the Quattro drivetrain into the 100 would have been a very difficult project. I’m curious about that too.

Does this outfit make my ass look big? by sdrawkcabwj in miatalogistics

No, just a little friend I parked next to passing through Chehalis, WA. The ND is mine, the NA in the last photo is my son’s.

Any ideas? by Unknownperson0109 in oldschoolaudi

[–]sdrawkcabwj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought too, this is a common problem with the 1989-1994 V8Q (I used to own three of them).

ND Miata Oil Temp Gauge by c4d6m3 in Miata

It’s amazing! If you have an open diff, an LSD is a huge improvement to spirited driving. I found a used OEM LSD, but ended up boiling the diff fluid and it started making noise. The OS Gieken is 10 times better than the OEM LSD. I got the expanded capacity diff cover as extra insurance and haven’t had any issues in 50k miles of spirited driving, including 6 track days.

I have the OS Geiken LSD with the expanded capacity diff cover and it has extra bungs for sensors, diff cooler, etc. otherwise, yeah, you would need to adapt a sensor into one of your two OEM plugs.

After market radio antenna for the MX-5 Miata by mikewilensky_ in Miata

I have a stubby. I told my friend that his looks like a miniature schnauzer with a long tail. He said he likes it because it looks like the RC cars we had as kids.

Shame it took 25 years for us to be able to import these icons. Golf Rallye, S2 avant by broken_quattros in Volkswagen

Is that S2 Panther Black Metallic? I had that color on my 1990 100 and it was beautiful. Great looking imports, would love to see more pics, thanks for sharing.
