    Pypes Long tube header Disaster

    In all honesty, dropping the K member was easy once we saw the big picture. 6 bolts, a floor jack and a long 2X6 board. Made it nice and easy to throw the headers on and provided realativly easy access to all the bolt holes.

    Pypes Long tube header Disaster

    Sneaky - The place I bought the headers from issued an RMA and are going to issue a refund when they recieve them back, so were good there :)

    Pypes Long tube header Disaster

    I don't post very often but my resent install problems with a pair of Pypes LT headers made me want to share for anyone thinking about getting some of these. I ordered a pair of the Pypes LT headers about 3 weeks ago and it took about 6 hours once we received them to get the car torn down to...

    Stock wheels with Toyo Proxies. Track is 90ft above sea level. Car runs great as far as I can tell. Feel’s stronger than it ever has, especially with the 4:10's.

    Clicking from rear

    So the car went to the shop after we couldn't find what the problem was and fearing the worst. Turned out to be the "Brake Slides" :shrug: on the caliber. Mechanic lubed them up and its all quiet now, no more clicking. -Mike

    Clicking from rear

    I know it’s next to impossible to diagnose a sound over the internet but figured I’d make a post anyway. My buddy's 04 GT started making a clicking sound coming from the passenger side rear wheel area. (Sounds like running over an aluminum can.) You can only hear it when the car warms up and...

    Gears installed

    So I eneded up paying a performance shop in Hudson, NH who knew what the exact problem was when I described it. I was told there was no play on the pinion because the previous shop tightened it down all the way so there was no play. This then was wearing down the gear. I had them install a new...

    Gears installed

    I just got my car back from having FRPP 4.10’s swapped out in my 01’ GT. I had them install a Motive bearing kit along with a Tracloc rebuild kit. Now ONLY under deceleration above 40 mph it will make a soft wirling sound coming from the rear in 5th gear and sometimes 4th. If I drop it in...

    New paint on the hood

    To fix and paint the door and repaint the hood cost me 375. I've known the guy for awhile so im sure it would have been more if i brought it to another autobody. He said it would have normally been about a grand with prep paint and clear for both.

    New paint on the hood

    I haven't posted much here, but i figured I would share a couple pics of my freshly painted hood. I had to have my door fixed and painted because someone tried to bust open my drivers side door lock with a screwdriver. Figured I would add a stripe to the hood while i was at it. Tell me what...

    2.3T misses at WOT

    I owned a 89lx with a swap from a t-coup and it started missing whenever I had it at WOT after 3k. Turns out the distributer came loose and the timing was off around 8 degrees. Just my personal experience, hope it helps.
