Ben,
I could take the CX tranny for a spare. Now I need to find some CV joints and a muffler. Any ideas where to look? |

He was a really sweet animal, but just did NOT do well alone. He chewed through 2 of the seatbelts in my volvo in under 3 minutes. As soon as he couldn't see you anymore, he was doing anything and everything he could to get to you. I never blammed him for it, it was my own fault for leaving him alone (though I hadn't been able to go grocery shopping for almost a month), and it was a chance I was willing to take, too bad it ended up being the demise of my interior. |
Found some interesting info while researching my new (old) car.

Just plug the muffler with metal tape. As long as the cat is fine that's all that matters. :D As for the lean burn, only the XFi Metros were lean burn. |

The owner says he has been driving on the CV joints like that for a year so I think I can make it 500 miles to Pittsburgh. Do I need any special tools? Is there a DIY on CV joints?
Metal tape sounds like fun but making my own muffelr sounds like more fun. Need a DIY on that also. |

Don't mess with repairing the CV joints, just buy all new axles. 120 for both sides and you get a lifetime warranty on them.
It's very basic, I'll write it up when I fix my driverside axle seal (I really need to do that some day, :p) |

Another awesome article. This one gets interesting in the appendices...
https://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:...=clnk&cd=11See Appendix A and B starting on page 22. It details the % FE gains for weight, tires, leanburn, gearing, etc of the VX over the 91DX. Also discusses the gain of MPFI over DPFI. |
