how fast is an s2000 in the quarter mile? Ive heard bad things about NSX's in the 1/4 mile and I was wondering if s2000's are the same way. They seem fast but I was wondering if one could put up a good race against my mustang or would I get burned?

Im doing a ton of rear end work on my car (3.73 gears, install kit, trac.-lok rebuild kit). I havent changed the speedometer gear yet. Will the gears throw off my speedometer calibration? If yes, how will it read? Will the MPH on the gauge be higher or lower than it actually is, and by how much...

I picked up a kenny brown strut tower brace at a drag race yesterday for $10. It didn't come with instructions though so I have a few questions. Is there anything I should watch out for when I drill the holes? How to I get the nuts onto the bolts in the firewall? I'm not sure how to get access...

Im thinkin of putting 3.55 gears in my car. I have read that gears must be installed at a shop and are very difficult because the require a lot of precise measurements. but recently i heard that that the FRPP gear sets just pop right in easily. is this true?

I have been thinking of installing a K member in my 87 GT vert. I saw in an old issues (May 2002) of 5.0 mag an article about installing a k member. They had some sort of hoist to hold the engine up while doing the swap. Now it wasn't the usual engine hoist that you would use while removing an...

One of the changes I am thinking about is new gears. Probably 3.55 or so. I would guess that means I also need to do something to the speedometer too. Anyone know what needs to be done? What parts needed, etc?

I am thinking about full length, welded, subframe connectors for my 87 GT convertable. Anyone installed these themselves? I can weld, so no problem with that part. I looked under the car last night to check out the stock braces that the 'verts come with. They're - pop rivited. Yikes, what...
