    Did I get gouged or what?!?

    Well, went back today armed with some of the knowledge gained in this thread. Asked for the manager, got in his face, raised my voice a little, stated the obvious...the whole nine yards......they ended up cutting the bill in half. I guess I'll take it. Considering that this includes parts...

    Did I get gouged or what?!?

    It doesnt matter, I got fisted. Apparently they had to remove the whole pedal assembly, and replace the ratchet, shaft, and bearings. Basically I walked in and was handed the bill, upon which I thought to myself, "I have a feeling this isnt over." I guess this is a sign never to let anyone...

    Did I get gouged or what?!?

    So my clutch pedal decides to start screwing up. I sit in my car, go to press the pedal to start the car, and it slams to the floor with a loud bang. I'm very busy at the time, and I need to have my car, so I decide to have someone else fix it. So this is what they tell me: apparently its the...

    CODE 18

    Finally got around to doing it today. Results: Nothing. No resistance, no voltalge, nothing. I tried it with the ignition on and off. What could I be doing wrong? I tested at the terminals of the connector.

    CODE 18

    It is done. The least I could do I guess. Would I be correct in saying that I am going to need a really long connection to measure the resistance between the TFI connector and pin 36? Any tips on the best way to go about doing this? I have a radio shack voltmeter (measures resistance also)...

    CODE 18

    I did search the forums for the code, but its hard to find (search ignores "18" and just searches for "code"). I have a fairly new (1 yr old) MSD Pro-Billet distributor in my '89, so the TFI better not be bad. Maybe I just have to clean the connector? Help much appreciated.

    50resto sealer paint sucks

    took out all the parts sprayed down with Fantastik, scrubbed with brush, rinsed sprayed down with Tuff Stuff, scrubbed with brush, rinsed wiped with denatured alcohol, let dry not like any of this matters. the primer cans were practically spraying grey powder onto my work. I would quickly...

    50resto sealer paint sucks

    Well from what I've seen, the primer is crucial. When I don't use it, the topcoat just scractches off with my fingernail.

    Center armrest assembly

    For all you interior guys: I'm having trouble putting back together the center armrest after painting my interior. The pieces I'm dealing with are the pad (cover), compartment, and base. Pretty much this whole thing...

    I WANT THE LOUDEST EXHAUST.

    Basically I'm struggling now over the decision to keep the classic flowmaster sound vs. be an obnoxious mother****er with the SLP's. The thing is, I have electronic cutouts installed right before the mufflers, so maybe it aint even worth it??? $500 smackers for the system!!:eek...

    I WANT THE LOUDEST EXHAUST.

    hmmm.....i see. so I guess I'm doin the best I can with header/midpipe combo (as far as loudness). anyone wanna trade flowmaster american thunder for an slp loudmouth system? :D :D :D

    I WANT THE LOUDEST EXHAUST.

    doing a little more research...apparently x-pipes and h-pipes are comparable in loudness and if anything x-pipes may be a little bit louder?? :shrug: I'd love to keep the x-pipe on the car and just switch cat-backs! saves me mega $$.

    I WANT THE LOUDEST EXHAUST.

    That's actually exactly what I have now....BBK l/t's into a dr. gas o/r x-pipe into a flowmaster american thunder catback. Definitely not as loud as some of the stangs I hear drivin by.
