i finally did it.. rather than jack the car up i pulled it half way up a driveway so i had enough room to slide underneath the car... i felt much safer so i got brave.. :)<P>also, i guess because my car doesnt have ac, i had an easy time reaching the oil filter from the top of the engine bay.. i ...

thanks guys.. im going to give it another go on the 4th.. im too ashamed to let this go!! <P>and while your here, i couldnt find any good jack points for a frame jack or any good locations for the stands.. any tips?<P>- eddie -

i wussed out.. i couldnt bring myself to climb underneath the car with the jack AND a jackstand holding it up.. i was too paranoid of getting the squished face mod.. tommorrow i will roll the car up an incline, or maybe get some ramps.. <P>anyway, where is the oil filter? i couldnt find it.. i found ...

damn..i dont think i have a socket that big..can i get to it with an adjustable? <P>i really need to buy some tools.. <P>- eddie -

wow.. please take your mouth off your exhaust pipe and step away from the vehicle.. :) <P>at least you guys are using your brains.. pumping the AC into the intake tract to create a cooler IAT so you can run more boost.. good idea, in theory..<P>ever hear of propane injection? injecting propane into ...

one more easy question for anyone in the know.. im kind of tool deprived at the moment, so what size socket am i going to need to take the plug out of the oil pan?<P>thanks, <P>- eddie -

why only boost 8 psi? can the motor not take anymore or does the fuel system tap out? <P>- eddie -

i need to change the oil in my 95 4 cylinder, and i was wondering how much oil to put back in.. i dont have the manual for the car, so i was hoping someone would know.. <P>thanks, <P>- eddie -

hmmnn.. loss of power huh? well, the car isnt exactly a bullet as it stands now :).. although one time i think i almost chirped second.. :cool: <P>if a dealership ever touched any of my cars, i think i would have to be either dead or incapacitated...<P>seriously though, if anyone has the knowledge ...

i like my 95 mx3, affectionately called "the little basturd", enough to consider installing a/c into the car which otherwise came with out a/c from the factory...<P>is this even possible? does anyone know what parts i would need to pull this off? <P>in the most general aspect of the installation ...

its a sad sad day.. the little basturd does not have a/c.. <P>thanks everyone.<P>- eddie -

i think it would be a fun project for someone in the know to embark on..<P>i wouldnt go with the 3000gt turbos.. too expensive, and overkill since you can only boost to around 8 psi (3000gt turbos max out at about 15psi).. i would go with the much more plentiful and cheaper dsm turbos.. <P>how much ...
