If anyone has how-to's that they saved, please send them to nike13857@yahoo.com.
Most files are too large to upload currently. I will compile everything, and add them back to the site.
Thanks. Also, if anyone has a list of what how-to's we had, that would be great.

I don't have the ones that I created saved, but I have no problem recreating them. Off the top of my head I think I had:
Lowering Springs Install
CCRM A/C quick Fix
Gauge Face Overlay install
Fuel Filter replacement
And I'm working on:
Coolant Flush
Rear/lower trans mount ES Bushing install
If anyone needs them right away, they can be found in Flickr Form at the following link:

I have almost all the content that was in the /content/ if you want it. I also have interesting stuff that we could put on the site. such as 06,07 and 08 ford racing catalogs, a lot of media publications from ford, + I own probably every magazine that featured zx2s since 97 (esslinger zx2, fusion, etc.). So I could scan the images and put them online.
I'll double check when I'm home, but I probably have way more stuff then what I actually mentionned.

I have the, "How To Lowering Springs-Struts Install" Complete with all the pics. Just put on S/R Struts and Sprint springs last weekend. Saved the file so I could check it offline cause the site was getting fuzzy then.

I've uploaded all of what I had saved from ZX2racing.com and wrote the clearcorner mod. I'll add to the list what I remember. Some of these have already been rewritten/posted. There is info on MyZX2.com and ZX2ms.com but I'm not going to be the one that copies info over from those sites. Others can do so / contact the owners of those sites and ask.

hey, i just searched the sight, and did not find the how-to for gauge face install. I want to do gauge face because my dash lights are slowly burning out, and if you have to get in there to replace bulbs, why not install the gauge faces? lol

ok, i saw the pics and everything, but i'm basically a monkey with these nice little opposable thumbs, lol... so i'll wait til it's in writing.
Well, my question is: When you install them, do the original dash lights need to be functional? i.e. the one's that keep burning out on me leaving from 40-90 blacked out... lol (i swear officer, i had no idea how fast i was going...)

I use to have "how-tos" on the old site (CAM install, header install, short shifter install, UDP install, SCT install), I never saved them to my computer though. I just typed them in a thread as a topic, sorry.

I haven't went through it but I think I added the instructions to this photo album. You should be able to use this until I recreate the how-to for it.

There are instructions with the pics, but there were some unanswered questions (which of course I can't think of right not, lol), let me go see if I can think of them....... yea, I can't remember. Oh! do the original dash lights need to be functional, because I have 2 out now (I can't see all the way from 40-90, lol)?

Nope. You don't need the lights with the exception of the ones that light up the needles, and the warning light/turn signal lights.
The other ones don't matter though.
