Do you still like the Daystar comfort ride lift kit? I just ordered it, and was wondering if you are still happy with it. Anyone else have it installed? Thoughts?

I put steal wheels with 4 inch backspacing, running 31 12.5 15s and have had no rubbing, and did not grind anything either.

I let my sons drive my 80 anytime they want(and it is safe). I live out in the country and I have a 500 yard gravel driveway, so they have fun. My 10 year old can reach the pedals so I sit in the passenger seat with him driving, and now he wants my 91 80 as his first car. My 9 year old doesnt...

Keep the 80 and lift it!

I agree with The Nak, give them $500 for it, and give it a shot on getting it running. My guess is it is something simple that someone missed. Worst case is you can part it out and make all of your money back and maybe even more. Before I found this site, I was buying parts at junk yards and...

Man, I think it rocks. When can I order one?

Well, here is the update for this evening. I replaced both rad hoses and took the advice not to replace the little third one just yet. So far all of the leaks have stopped, and she seems to be running just fine. I drove her around for a few miles, then let her idle in the driveway for a few more...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have a new upper and lower hose on the way, but now i just discovered that there is a third hose, burried up behind a bunch of stuff(i think it is the tensioner pully and ps bracket) that looks like a pain to change. I hope to God it was just this lower hose...

just to add insult to injury, i replaced my rad cap, and now coolant started pouring out the bottom of the LC. So i removed the plate that is in the way and discoved that the lower rad hose has a hole in it. Would this be why it puked coolant out of the overflow tank last night, or is this just...

It was only driven about 20 miles after the flush and fill, and i have no idea what you mean about burping it.

The guage was reading normal, about in the middle. No overheating, and ran fine all day, it was just the last 10 miles on the freeway it started sputtering when i would put the pedal to the floor. Since I have had the LC, I have changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil, flushed and filled the...

Never had an overheating problem, and no it is not an OEM red cap. I will check for the sweet smell from the exhaust today, but I do not recall smelling anything like that last night. Thanks for the ideas.

Ok so I took the 91 LC on a 165 mile round trip today, and just at the last 10 miles, when I would try to accelerate a lot, it would shudder and sputter, even in nuetral. I could accel, slowly and she worked fine, but if I slammed the pedal to the floor, she would sputter. She got my boy and I...

I have done a lot of reading on here, and have learned a lot so far. I was reading another thread about cruise control not working, and how to check the stored codes. It gave some of the steps involved, but it was still a little vage, my guess is that both of these folks have more of a working...

I know that I am a newb but this is my .02 cents. I was a lucky one, and was given my LC from my Aunt. She was the original owner, and like another post said, all she did was oil changes and minimal services. I have had it for about 2 months now, and have put $4,000 in PM and redoing the...
