    Strang ticking noise upon cold startup. Need help.

    Does it still click when you push the clutch pedal in? If so, its probably your throwout bearing. If not, I would have your pullies checked. My tension pulley ticked a couple years ago. Your best bet is to take it to a good local shop, have them find it with their special hearing tools and...

    Bassani X-Pipe Install

    Just got my bassani x-pipe. This may be a stupid question but I don't care. I don't plan on welding it in because it needs to come off for warranty work if work is needed. Does this pipe just bolt on or do I need to use clamps? Thanks ahead!!
