    Engine Motor Rebuild Help

    Lots of good information here, thanks guys. I never thought about talking to a builder before hand; thats probably the best idea I have heard. I will start there. I don't mind investing money into a good motor, like most people, I don't think I will ever want to sell this car. So for the...

    Engine Motor Rebuild Help

    I am aware of the cost. When I say aftermarket, I am looking at a Dart 331 SHP. I do want 500rwhp as close as possible, so I am going to need to add a dart block to the list. Yes, I am glad you mention the transmission. I was going to ask in my original post. What should I do with the...

    Yeah, I bought another one, but if this one breaks, I am going a different route.

    I Cannot Open My Driver Side Door.

    Found the problem, the internal door handle broke where it pulls the rod that connects to the latch. This door handle was only 6 months old at the most, brand new too.

    I Cannot Open My Driver Side Door.

    So I am a idiot. I can open the door from the outside, I just needed to UNLOCK it. However, I still cannot open it from the inside. I am going to take a gander at it tomorrow.

    I Cannot Open My Driver Side Door.

    So, I was going to go to the store the other day, I tried to open my driver side door, I felt something come loose and then the handle would not open the door. I rolled down the window, the outside door handle would not open the door either. It feels like nothing is connected on either handle...

    After the installation of the trans seal, I turned the car on check the trans fluid. It looked fine, then I let it warm up to where the temperature gauge normally sits and check again, it looked fine again. Took it for a short drive, checked the fluid and it looked like it needed some, so I...

    Well I have been up since Thursdays studying for finals. After I got some of my finals out of the way, instead of taking a nap, I decided to fix that trans leak before it did some real damage. So I ran down to the local O'Riley's and picked up a funnel, a trans seal, a light, and some...

    Ouch, I once drove home from work to home with no braking power, about a 12 mile drive, late at night with nobody on the road and it scared the crap out of me. Turns out I was out of brake fluid. I'm pretty excited to get the ball rolling on my brakes.

    Brakes I Hear Air When I Push On The Brakes.

    I had these parts long before the brakes starting acting up. Also, I am a single guy living at home with a decent paying job. I am not rich, I just don't have a lot things to spend my money on. :)

    I feel like I need to clear the air here. Yes that MC is absolutely the worst, but the only problem with the brakes is there is air in the lines. The peddle is a bit soft, but I have no problem stopping the car. Also the trans leak just started yesterday, and obviously that needs to be fix...

    Sadly that is the master cylinder. The brakes on the car are pretty much garbage. I don't leave home without my bottle of dot 3 in case it barfs up some more brake fluid. Also, that is all brake fluid.

    I call her that because all I do is sink money in to her. So this summer I am going to try to get a load of work done and install all the parts I already have. I have some money put away for some tires, I have a 255LPH fuel pump, shocks & struts, rear upper and lower control arms. I would also...

    Brakes I Hear Air When I Push On The Brakes.

    I won't be able to snap a picture of the calipers until Saturday. I have to leave for work, then I finals all the rest of the week. When Saturday rolls around I will try to get a couple more pictures.
