    another question about flaming river manual racks

    alright thanks guys. my power steering pump has been making noise for a while and the rack is leaking. i don't wanna spend money on both of those so i was looking at a manual rack. i think that's what i'm going to do when i get enough money. thanks.

    another question about flaming river manual racks

    what all do you have to replace? i would think you just have to put in a new rack right? will the original steering shaft work with the manual rack? :shrug:

    Why is powerdyne so much cheaper?

    i've got a powerdyne 9 psi. on my car and i'm not dissapointed in it. i've had it for almost two years now and never had any problems with it at all. i'm not saying powerdynes are problem free, just that my experience with them hasn't been bad at all. although if i could go through it...

    Blew a HG already...

    holy crap dude! you had the btm at 3 and your base timing was at 8*. how much boost were you running cause that's not very much timing at all. i run 9 psi. of boost and have my timing at 10* and my btm set at .5-1 with no pinging whatsoever. :shrug:

    i just installed some aftermarket control arms on my car and now the upper bushings are squeaking very very loudly over bumps. the bushings in the housing looked alright and didn't squeak before so i dont' think it's those. i also tightened down the control arms at ride height so i don't think...

    Rod Bearings now ...wtf

    the labor for the bearings should be next to nothing if the engine is already out and dissasembled. if the guy says you need them, just replace them. they don't cost very much and labor shouldn't be much at all. it's already out and apart, why take the chance? if it was mine, i'd put all new...

    alright thanks for the advice guys. i think i've came to the conclusion that if it's not broke i'm not gonna fix it yet. i just checked my insurance plan and it turns out i already have free towing on there so i think i'll be good to go. :nice:
