just dropping in to say hi my names chris and i just picked up a 96 baseline 4dr sohc autotragic for real cheap.... i got the car for daily driving purposes.... cause my ram just isnt very fuel efficient LOL

well 7 miles after the purchase the car died found out that the crank cam and the ignition coils go bad on these things pretty frequent.... so ended up replacing them all just to find that it was probably the crank sensor..... then found an injector leak.... car got about 250 to the tank.... replaced all injector seals and did a complete tune up... i have gotten 180 out of just 1/2 a tank so far ... i also did the cluster upgrade so now i have a tach!!

anyways what im wondering are what are some other freebie mods for this car, im looking for a lil of everything.... performance and fuel economy... i know they usually dont go with each other but hey its worth a shot right?! LOL

so far heres what the car has.... a dual exhaust w/ straitpipe and a hot air intake(filter is right over the exhaust) pictures coming soon!

thanks guys

chris

 

change the intake to cold air, will get alittle more power, and MAY help fuel efficiency

 

good post to read

to do the cluster upgrade do u have to make any modifications or do u just slap the cluster on?

 

most years in the first gen is just plug and play

 

hell even the euro gauge is plug and play after a bit of cutting on the surround...

 

i might be picking up a 150mph speedo here pretty soon

 

yea the cluster was a PnP for me.... i have heard that some of the 95s dont have a tach wire though.....

 

so i have a 96 with no tach i could any 1stGen cluster with tach i dont have to eff with wiring and it will work?

 

yeah any cluster from 95-99 will pnp no problem..
