Re: 86 5KT Clackity Clack!
 

Thanks for the Advice C.R. Glad to hear that the inline 5 has lots of life
in them. The 5000 series are very solid, well built cars. Most domestic cars
of this age a usually full of cancer and full of rattles.

Re: 86 5KT Clackity Clack!
 

CR,
Actually, now that urS4's and the like are becoming more affordable, more
enthusiasts are updating their rides - I bought a set of 100 eurolights from
the local wrecking yard (Toronto area) for something like 50 or 60 bucks
each. In the last year there has been at least 2 other cars at the yard
with the same lights. Although I haven't installed them yet, the only
change needed is the grille and the plastic chromed trim on top of the
bumper. Apparently the cap that fits on the back of the light housing needs
to be modified slightly (on the passenger side I believe) - trimming one of
the vents - something that was already done on the set I got. I'm presently
looking for 4.2 litre V8 parts - the front sway bar is larger than the '87
5ktq one, there is a rear sway bar that was not installed on the '87 5ktq,
and, the hood/bumpers/fenders (oooh, flared fenders...) can be swapped.
Yeah, like it won't all end up collecting dust in my workshop like the
eurolights.......
Cheers!
