welcome! and just for kicks

MANUAL FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn right haha

excellent info fella's. again, VERY much appreciated

no... if it is low, dont just add fluid! replace your pads. if your fluid level is low, odds are that your pads are running low too

alright, I'll def have my pops take a look at the pads and see about changing them this weekend. Question though, would I be ok putting some brake fluid in just until I can take care of the pads this weekend? I shouldn't be driving more than probably 50 miles until then...

thanks!

There is an easy way you can check your ABS computer and see what codes it has produced.

Go here for info on how to jump the connector(i used a small wire instead of the papeclip)

and go here for what the codes on a 96 mean:

If you happen to get code 1-8, join the club! I am getting an intermittent code 1-8, but can't seem to trace the problem just yet. Anyway, good luck with that, and congrats on the sweet car. My 94 LS is also Frost White but is a manual.

what? If you low, Add fluid and bleed the brakes. top off again. If its still low, Check for leaks, Brake fluid doesnt just dissappear.

Check your pads there as well but it has nothing to do with low fluid.

as the pads wear the fluid will go down but you have an anti-lock prob. check the codes. this can get expensive pretty quick.

I just got my 1996 LS also, it came with AEM intake, lowered about 1 inch, and has the Integra Alloy mesh wheels. Looks awesome, and sounds great at higher rpm's around 4-5k. (of course, you have an automatic so this is harder for you to get to :lol: haha)
