Well, I just finished doing a little tinkering with it in the driveway. I fixed the belt squeal, they just needed adjusted tighter. I finally got the radio to come on, but not for long and the reception was horrible. I think the antenna or the cable is probably broken, and I'm not too sure about the radio itself. The previous owner had hacked into the radio harness and spliced in the wires for the Kenwood head unit, and they look like they were just twisted together and taped. Next trip to the junkyard and I will get the right radio harness and wire it in right so that a simple plug and play harness will plug right in. While tinkering with the radio, I discovered an A/C switch laying down behind the dash. Apparently the previous owner had put a HVAC control cover off of a car with no A/C and just laid the switch down behind the dash. I still haven't fixed the HVAC fan blower switch yet, but will once I grab the pieces. I think the one from the parts rig I scored off of Zig will fit.
I also managed to fix the lean to the left. See, when I drove to Tenn to pick up the parts Tracker from Zig, he had thrown all of his spare zuki parts in the back of it since he needed to clean up before moving. In the back of that tracker I found the stock coil springs and front arms from his X-90(which is now mine also, LOL!) from when he put the 2" lift on it. All I had to do to fix the black X-90's lean was replace the left front coil with one of the spare front coils I had gotten from Zig. Just to be sure, I stood all 3 front coils together(the one from the black one and the 2 from Zig) and selected the tallest of the three to put back on. The height difference was about 1/2" unloaded from the black coil to the tallest spare. Of course the black one had to fight with me a little bit; the top strut nut wouldn't budge, so I took the three strut mount nuts off instead and one of those fought me and then broke. So I had to press out the broken stud, while the mount was still attached to the strut, still attached to the car, and replace it with a bolt. Oh well. It's done now and it sits level again. I guess the spring had just sagged from age, maybe? There is no sign that this car had a fire or took any suspension or frame damage, and the previous owner was a lightweight girl, plus the driver's seat bolsters are still unbent and the bottom cushion is far from worn out, so I don't think any really heavy people were in it for any length of time. Before I replaced the spring, I thought maybe someone along the line had forgotten to replace the coil isolator, but it was still there and in good shape. The old coil looked fine, too. Not broken or bent, just a 1/2" shorter than the other 2 I had... Weird...
Anyway, I discovered a decently close junkyard with a couple X-90's and really good prices as well, so it shouldn't take much for me to have both X-90's fixed up again. Pics coming as soon as I get them off my camera and uploaded...
