long time no see.....
just wanted to say Hi to everybody...
I have been super busy at work, and trying to get the last little bot of stuff done to the house.....
What little time i have had has been spent with scouts with my son, and out in the boat, or scubadiving....
I have not given the 92 much seat time, and not much love....
I went for a spin the other day and realized i need more seat time...
I will be diggin in soon to fix the following prolems...
I need to clean the grounds.. i have had an idle problem, surging then cutting off. I hope this fixes the problem.
i need to remove the dash to put on my alcatara cover.....
i need to replace the hvac diaphrams
I also have to find the metal flapping sound... it has eluded me when i gas it hard, it sounds like metal flashing flapping in the wind.... it is not dependent on engine rpm. it rives me crazy... i have checked all the heat shields and flex plate.... nada...
we shall see.....
i'll try and post pics when i get rolling.

I just finished(except defroster flap diaphragm) hvac diaphragm replacements. Given enough notice it would be fun to drive down from Raleigh for a weekend and help out.
Not that I know exactly what to do all the time but after doing the job once I definitely know what NOT to do.

Check the plastic plates at the base of the front grille - the horizontal ones that link the openings in the grille to the frame that holds the radiator cooling flaps.

weather is great this time of year....
we have a guest room we can set you up in.
I live in downtown morehead, so we are walking distance from great restaurants and bars.
having a few beers while wrenching is a requirement here..
Make a weekend of it and we can hit the water on our boat...
