    Front Fascia removal (90 LX)

    So, I need to remove the front fascia for paint but I am not sure how exactly it comes off. I know that there are the bolts that hold the fascia to the fenders, but what about the rivets that you can see once you open the hood? do they all need to be drilled out or are the reusable? and do I...

    rearend swap/ back spacing questino

    They are wider than the stock fox rear ends so you will need more offset in the rear wheels. I am not totally sure what the exact tdifference is though.

    talked to MM today and they recommended me the foxbody road and track box suspension

    $2200 is a pretty expensive susp kit for a car that is 98% street. It sounds like you are the same way I am with my car, I hit up a few open track days/auto-X when I can and then drive it around on nice days and to cruises all summer. I think that you could make an argument for the same or...

    How much do you guys think a set of brand new, authentic 99-04 5 spoke Saleen wheels with Pirelli PZero Nero rubber would be worth? I have a buddy that is possibly going to sell them and I dont really know how much they are worth. All 4 are 18x9 and the tires are brand new as well. Thanks

    So, I currently have 17x9 Cobra Rs on the car now but I also have a set of brand new authentic 99-04 Saleens (18x9) that i wanted to try out on the car. Well the rears stick out much too far unfortunatley, mostly bc i think the guy who had the car before me did an sn95 rear axle swap so the...

    wheel size?

    You can go up to a 305 depending on your aspect ratio and wheel size. This is only good though if you are running a Watts's Link such as the Saleen. If you run a panhard bar then the Drivers side will rub on the inner fender well and the pass side will rub n the outer fender lip. This however...

    Bigger wheels + better tires = better performance?

    I do not agree... by this logic a bicycle tire with 10 psi has a larger contact patch than lets say a 275 with 30 psi. I will agree though that tire pressure does factor in to the contact patch area but if you were to calculate the area it would be a function of tire width, diameter, tire...

    Bigger wheels + better tires = better performance?

    Ok, you are taking this out of the context in which i was referring. Power4, who started the thread said that he was more concerned with handling right now, more than the acceleration as he was going to worry about that later on. BUT... you are correct if standing launches and straight line...

    Bigger wheels + better tires = better performance?

    Ok, there has been some fact and fiction in this thread and I would like to clear everything up so you can make the correct choice on what you want to buy. 1. Wheel Diameter: As has been said previously, the larger wheels are typically heavier and in being such are a larger rotational mass to...

    3 points or sub frames?

    +1 The only way that I can see SFC's being worth their while on the S197's is if you are running ridiculous amounts of power and it is through a convertible. And even then, a mild cage will help more purely because of its location.
