There's no factory recommendation for the rear height since it was non-adjustable, of course.

Keep in mind that lowering the rear below stock ride height creates negative camber that's out of spec...

Are they depicting a completely false story? Maybe. Or maybe maybe not exactly that or at least not with malicious intent.

I think I understand what they're doing.

If you watch DMR's "reveal"...

Sure. This radiator air-bleed method works because the expansion tank is about 15 inches above the top of the radiator. Venting the radiator at the top lets tank coolant fill it to the top.

Start with the usual suspects.

Since your rad fans are cycling ib it means the thermostat is opening, at least partially.

Air in the radiator is a common issue with "runs hot" issues.

Glad to know you're reliably back on the road again.

Nice job finding a willing and competent mechanic, broken bolts and all, to sort all this out for you. Extra credit for scoring a new resource...

This switch repair thread may be useful, Jon.

The OP's original problem was a non-op switch. The teardown details should help your diagnosis just the same.

(As a bonus the last post in the...

It's a good question.
There are at least two other DMCTalk threads on this topic that have 45 posts between them so far.

Check out this one and this one.

Here's how to use tape similar to the tape our harnesses were probably wrapped with in case that's interesting to anybody. It takes the heat in the engine bay just fine unless a nearby heat shield is...

This looks pretty nice.

For those looking for a collection of solutions for this issue check this other thread, too. It includes variations on this approach including toilet tank seal rings,...

Correct. Pull the top of the vert panel forward after the clips are removed. Then lift it out.

Keep track of which clip goes where as you remove them. The outer pair and inner pair of clips are...

At the start of this thread you said you'd read about how to do the job.

Here is info about a car that might meet your criteria. 5spd + black.

Ignore the listed price. The selling agent(s) will almost certainly negotiate price downward.

Thanks for posting, Mark.

Late reply - I'm showing the D there.

The entry window for showing a car remains open as of now.

Spectator or car entrant tickets are sold at this site.

It's good to know you are still searching for the right car.

In order to understand your target $US price and condition here is a comparison transaction:

Picking up on your Other Possibility #2.

Consider adding this issue to your potential problem list: The top of your ISM has a crack/leak in it? The leak may change with operating time/temp?

Andy posted good answers for both of those springs.

The spring on the throttle butterfly shaft (much harder to replace than the spool spring) might not need attention. Yours doesn't look like a PO...

Thanks for the DMC-specific ISM resistance info, Dave. My reference page was generic.

Apparently there's nothing electrically wrong with this motor. No opens, no shorts.

Clean the valve...

Do you want to verify the idle speed motor is dead/dying and/or give it a couple of more cleanings? Verify the wiring is OK in any case. A new ISM won't fix that.
