    Need advice on parts shopping.

    I have no idea where you are going to start! I would suggest that you look into what needs to be done immediately and go from there; is there any maintanence that needs to be done? When you are in that rearend, put in a trac-loc rebuild kit and that will definately smooth things out. I...

    Which gears to get?

    Mike summed it all up! I'm running a mostly stock 86 GT, and this summer I did flowmaster, short throw shifter, and 3.73's / clutch pack rebuild. My car is an entire world different now. It sounds aggressive, shifts like a muscle car should, and it just blazes them tires. Trust me, your...

    What is the Best Mod you have ever done?

    I spent money on my gears, exhaust (custom H-Pipe), and a short throw. Between those mods, I spent probably about $1,250.00 CDN on the car. It hasnt driven the same since, and then I went for the 16" Rims with the BFG's, now the car handles amazing, and launches decently. When I...

    a shop broke one of my water pump bolts

    ****en....cut the **** you guys! who gives a **** if he has a side of the story. You left him with your car and PAID him for a service. He is responsible to perform this service via CONTRACT LAW. A reasonable person would expect (see legal studies 101; reasonable person) that by the time...

    Curious......(Engine Conversion Question)

    I've heard of the twin turbo conversion from other Nissan's in those cars... Stang's are limitless, you can turbo a V8, you could put in a Turbo 4 banger (SVO)....or...anything, even a T-Bird motor. Almost any Ford motor will convert into a Stang....including the biggest of bigblocks ;)

    gear swap

    Me too... just at about 3,000Km's on my rebuild. Did a gear swap and all that jazz just last year and it was well worth my $750.00 CDN (incl. Labour) to do all those bearings, etc while I was in there, wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it again.

    A bunch of handling questions for the experts

    What is wrong with your guys cars?! Oh man! My 86 is one of the meanest handling rides I've ever driven.... sure, it wants to spin the F$@# out all the time, but with the 16" michelin's I put on it, it doesnt just "go sideways"...theres a 'feel' it gets for the road that lets you predict and...

    I NEED to run a 14.1 quarter mile, How?

    If you want to do it right; take EVERYTHING out of your car that weighs something. Back seat, Passenger Bucket, Console, whatever... I did it to my 86 GT this summer and picked up a .4 on my Gtech...then I did my gears and a short throw, a bit of elbow grease and a thousand dollars later my...
