drove the car this morning, it seems to love the lower temps of fall. coming home after a stop sign made a right turn and stood on it..as the car shifted into second gear the rear end hit a bump in the road,it broke the tires loose and they started to peel out.. i just kept my foot to the floor...

my noise sounded like it was coming through the pass side door or front fender. i couldnt find the noise for the longest time. later on i had to disassemble the suspension partially to go with an aftermarket export brace, and heard the noise, while moving the suspension, we took the control arm...

its probably not it but check your heim joints. after my install i had a creaking noise i couldnt pin down. turns out one of the heim joints was bad.

BTW IIRC i dont think you cant use TCPS X BRACE in a vert, my car is a coupe, guess i should have read your original post better. this is the one for verts: http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/support/sub/PKG-SFC-02_AT.jpg

i bought the whole thing at one the x brace gets bolted in after the subframes are installed, ive been contemplating a gv overdrive and to do that id need to lose the xbrace. im not really sure how much strength it has either but i figure its not hurting anything either. i just thought it looked...

i cant compare TCP's x brace to other companies braces but it made a big difference in stiffness. i had mine installed and they had to run all new brake lines fuel lines and i also had to run a custom exhaust so the pipes would fit under the bracing. it also sticks down fairly low so you have to...

Imagine the idiot who trys to steal that car lol

+1 on that, I made the mistake of doing everything else first. I do have car that is modded and reliable but I regret not doing the bodywork and rust issues first. I took the car to 3 different body shops wanting better paint and bodywork but all 3 want to replace both front fenders and inner...

Bolt In Full Frames for Early Muscle Cars

I was over at a friends bodyshop last fall, they are restomodding one of the 240Z cars and it has a corvette ZO6 V8 stuffed in it with a 6 speed tranny. problem is as busy as they are with insurance work the car will never get done. I cant imagine that much power in that car.

thanks for the advice... I tok the alunimum housing and hit it with a dremel to polish it so it has a bit of shine just not where it attaches to anything. Its not as showy but function over form is more important to me. ill probably put it in this weekend it will give me a nice change of pace...

Forgive my Newbie dumb question but do you have to drain all of the radiator fluid out before swapping a thermostat housing out? or can you just drain it down slightly ? ive got one of the POS chrome steel ones connected to a cool flex hose and it has the typical leaking syndrome. I got a new...

how about a toploader with a gear vendors OD behind it?

i wont even try to stick with him, after what he did, when you live and work in a town of 1,000 people everyone knows everyone whethe you like it or not..if i went down for something like that (which i never would) id probably lose my job... especially considering the police chief/admin is my...

Well I guess I dont have to worry about the neighbor anymore. I went outside my house and noticed the cops had him pulled over right next to his house. I know all the cops here and they said they clocked him at 60 mph:Track: ( 25 mph residential street with a lot kids on the block). they charged...

engine mods are pretty mild (its more show than go) probably around 190 hp. 289 stock bottom end with Edelbrock performer RPM heads milled slightly to retain as much stock compression as i ccould (ill be the first to admit im not an expert on this stuff im not sure how much they were...

Having never driven one the newer stangs im wondering how well my modded out early 65 coupe could keep up with a newer 05-08 stang... at least as far as handling goes. theres a guy down the street with an 08 stang with an automatic. everytime i run into the guy he says he likes my car but he...

worst case scenario you get a negative feedback, if you help him out im wondering what he will ask for or complain about next. Ive never sold a car on ebay but ive sold lots of stuff on there over the yrs... seeing stuff like this makes me grateful im not selling on ebay anymore. good...

I would hate to change spark plugs on that LOL

why not stuff in a dodge viper V-10 that would piss off the ford purist:rlaugh:
